Chargers sign local broadcast deal with CBS 2 Los Angeles

The National Football League’s Los Angeles Chargers have signed a multi-year local broadcast partnership with CBS 2 Los Angeles.

CBS 2 will become the Chargers’ official preseason television partner, as well as a year-round media partner.

As such, the channel will have exclusive rights to over-the-air English language broadcasts of all Chargers preseason home and away games – excluding games nationally televised by a NFL national television partner other than CBS – throughout the Los Angeles market.

In addition, CBS 2 will air a weekly 30-minute Chargers show on Saturday evenings during the NFL season, while Chargers news, highlights and features will air year-round across all CBS Los Angeles platforms.

The two parties will also collaborate during community and tent-pole events throughout the year.

The Chargers are moving to the $5bn SoFi Stadium, along with the Los Angeles Rams, in the 2020 season.
