Chargers sold out 43rd consecutive game in extension hours

A similar case to the Arizona Cardinals, the San Diego Chargers also needed a 24-hour extension from the NFL to sell out their ticket and avoid local television blackout. The same as the Cardinals, they also managed to sell out the game within extension hours.

So this Sunday’s game against the AFC West rival Oakland Raiders will be televised live on local television and it will be the 43rd consecutive regular-season or postseason Chargers home game to be televised live in Southern California.

Two more sellout, the team will break its record of 44 consecutive games televised live from 1979 to 1984. It was a few days less than five years ago when the Chargers had their regular-season game blacked out- a game against the New Orleans Saints on Nov. 7, 2004.
