The New Haven Chargers head into the 2026 football season poised to build upon their identity as a physical and disciplined program. Under the leadership of head coach Mark Powell and newly appointed offensive coordinator Brian Scott, the Chargers enter the season focused on fundamental execution, and establishing control at the line of scrimmage. With a blend of seasoned veterans and explosive underclassmen on both sides of the ball, New Haven aims to establish momentum early in non-conference play and maintain high-level execution through every quarter of the regular season.
