The bright lights love the Bolts.

The NFL announced Friday that the Chargers Week 16 matchup with the Broncos will now be played on Thursday Night Football.

Kickoff from SoFi Stadium is now at 5:15 p.m. (PT) on December 19.

Tickets for the primetime game can be found here.

This marks the first time a game has even been flexed into Thursday Night Football.

The Week 16 matchup features a pair of division rivals, both of whom are vying for playoff spots in the AFC.

Entering Week 12, the Chargers currently sit at 7-3 and hold the No. 5 seed in the AFC playoff picture as the top Wild Card.

The Broncos, meanwhile, are 6-5 and are in the seventh spot as the third and final Wild Card team.

The Chargers already beat the Broncos back in Denver during Week 6.

The Bolts roared out to a 20-0 halftime lead behind a dominant defense and a stellar performance from Justin Herbert through the first two quarters.

The Week 16 matchup will be the Chargers first home primetime game on Thursday Night Football since 2021.

The Bolts were not originally slated to play on Thursday in 2024 but will now play on that day for the seventh year in a row.
