This paper studies discrete-time two-person nonzero-sum linear quadratic stochastic games with random coefficients. Using convex variational analysis, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of open-loop Nash equilibria. When weighting matrices are indefinite, the classical first-order conditions are no longer sufficient for optimality; we introduce a global nonnegativity condition to restore sufficiency, which becomes a cornerstone of the subsequent analysis. To characterize the equilibria explicitly, we develop fully coupled forward-backward stochastic difference equations and a system of non-symmetric stochastic Riccati equations (FBS$Δ$Es) with constraints. that decouple the stochastic Hamiltonian system. A key technical contribution is the provision of sufficient conditions -- positive semidefiniteness of the Riccati matrices operators and structural non-degeneracy -- that guarantee the invertibility of a related operator, ensuring the well-posedness of the closed-loop feedback representation of the open-loop Nash equilibrium strategies. A distinctive feature of this work is the presence of fully random coefficients, which leads to fully nonlinear higher-order backward stochastic difference equations in the Riccati framework, in contrast to the algebraic Riccati equations in the deterministic setting.
