Chargers Defeat Raiders as NFL Streaming Options Remain Available for Future Games

The Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 20-9 on Sunday, September 20, 2026, at SoFi Stadium. The game, which aired on CBS, was the subject of multiple streaming guides published before kickoff, including one from The Hollywood Reporter that highlighted free trial offers from Fubo and DirecTV.

With the game now concluded, those live-streaming guides are no longer applicable for real-time viewing. However, the free trial offers that were promoted for the game remain available to new subscribers and can be used for upcoming NFL matchups.

Fubo continues to offer a five-day free trial for new subscribers. The service carries CBS and other major networks, making it a viable option for NFL games throughout the season. DirecTV also offers a five-day free trial, with access to CBS through its MySports genre pack.

Paramount+ remains another option for streaming CBS games. The service starts at $8.99 per month, though it does not offer a free trial. NFL+ provides live local and primetime regular season games on mobile devices and offers a seven-day free trial.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the league’s media strategy in a CNBC interview on September 10, 2026. Goodell said, ‘One hundred percent of our games are available on broadcast television. I see that continuing.’ He also noted, ‘The world is changing for our partners. It’s changing for us. It’s changing for fans.’

Goodell indicated the league could rework its television packages when it negotiates its next media rights deal. The NFL has an opt-out clause it can trigger at the end of the 2029-30 season to resell and redistribute its media rights. Netflix has already expanded its NFL footprint, securing rights to additional games this season.

The Chargers improved to 1-1 with the win, while the Raiders dropped to 1-1. The game was the first AFC West matchup of the season for both teams.

For fans who missed the live broadcast, NFL Game Pass offers replays of every game as soon as the live broadcast ends. The service includes a free trial option.

The next opportunity for NFL fans to use free trials for live games comes on Monday, September 21, 2026, when the New York Giants visit the Los Angeles Rams. That game airs on ESPN and ABC.

The streaming guides published ahead of the Chargers-Raiders game remain available online, but the information they contain is now relevant only for future games rather than the completed matchup.
