The NFL is interested in a team moving to the London and the Chargers reportedly might not say 'no' if asked.
After years of success with its games in London, the NFL might be considering taking its overseas relationship with the city one step further.
The Athletic has learned through NFL sources that the possibility of the Chargers moving to London has been broached among league personnel. The Athletic also has learned that, while the team is fully committed to Los Angeles where it will move into the new $4.5 billion stadium with the Rams next year, the Chargers would at least listen if the NFL approached them about about London as a possible option.
In summary, it appears there are few figures with control over the Chargers’ location who would say no to a hypothetical move to London. A move to London would give the Chargers sole possession of an even bigger market, with the whole of the United Kingdom possibly rooting for them. The Athletic also mentions the state-of-the-art, 62,000-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as the likely venue for the team.
