Chargers Sued by Season-Ticket Holder Over Game Moved to Brazil

A fan lawsuit seeks a refund for a Chargers home game that was moved to Brazil.

The Chargers are being sued by a season-ticket holder over the team’s opener in Brazil.

The plaintiff, Devin Abney, accuses the Chargers of breach of contract and false advertising. The complaint, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday, included graphics that display the Chiefs logo in a 2025 season-ticket advertisement as a home game, months before the game was moved to Brazil.

The allegation at the heart of the suit is simple: The Chargers advertised nine home games, charged fans for nine, and then gave them eight.

Team policy says “if the [team] play the game elsewhere than SoFi Stadium or if it is cancelled and not rescheduled, the sole remedy shall be refund of the original ticket purchase price.” But according to the complaint, when Abney asked the Chargers for a refund of the ticket, he was denied. 

“We are hopeful that the Chargers will make this right and honor the trust of their loyal fans,” plaintiff attorney Rana Ayazi told Front Office Sports

The complaint seeks to certify a class of “all individuals who purchased new season-ticket plans or renewed existing season-ticket plans for the Los Angeles Chargers’ 2025 NFL season,” according to the filing.

The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages and attorneys fees, restitution and civil penalties. 

The 2025 NFL season will feature seven international games in five countries. The complaint cites the Colts as having a policy of refunding fans for home games moved outside of Indianapolis, while the Packers do not include the international game in their ticket packages if they have one. 

The Chargers don’t charge for full-season tickets on a per-game basis, and season-ticket agreements often include language warning that the NFL may move a home game. They also often include a class-action waiver that says fans are required to deal with grievances individually.

The Chargers and NFL did not comment.
