This paper investigates the existence of energy solutions for a Schrödinger-Maxwell system with a variable exponent on a bounded domain \(\mathcal {D}\subset \mathbb {R}^N\) ( \(N\ge 2\) ), where the p(x)-Laplacian couples the unknown functions u and v. Under the assumptions that \(f\in L^{m(\cdot )}(\mathcal {D})\) with \(m(x)>N/p(x)\) and that the continuous exponent satisfies \(p(\cdot )>1\) , a variational approach is employed to establish the existence of weak solutions \((u,v)\in \left( W_{0}^{1,p(\cdot )}(\mathcal {D})\right) ^2\) for the considered system. Furthermore, it is shown that this solution is a saddle point of the associated energy functional.
