The LA Chargers may not be playing in Super Bowl LIX but Chargers fans will still be tuning into the action regardless. Whether its for the commercials, your Super Bowl squares or to hopefully enjoy a Chiefs loss, it is the biggest game of the year and Chargers fans cannot escape it.
The hope is that one day in the not-so-distant future the Chargers are the ones playing on Super Bowl Sunday. After all, the Chargers have the quarterback-head coach pairing to make the big game. All it takes is building on the foundation the Bolts laid in 2024.
Enough of future dreaming; let's dive into everything you need to know so you do not miss any of the action of this year's Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
