The LA Chargers and Detroit Lions will participate in this year’s Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, the organization revealed today.
It’s been over 30 years since either franchise appeared in the prestigious match, with Los Angeles’ last participation in 1994 and Detroit’s in 1991. It will be great for the Chargers to be part of the match as ex-TE Antonio Gates headlines the 2025 Hall of Fame class.
The match will be played at the end of July in Canton, Ohio, with the Hall of Fame enshrinement a few days later.
