The Las Vegas Raiders game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon will be shown in Fresno, Sacramento, Modesto and the Bay Area.

That’s no surprise.

But for Raiders fans in some other areas of California, you’ll be out of luck.

That includes the Bakersfield area, which will get the Los Angeles Chargers and Cleveland Browns broadcast instead because it is in the Southern California TV market.

And because it is not a doubleheader weekend for CBS, kickoff is at 1:05 p.m. PDT at Allegiant Stadium, rather than the 1:25 p.m. starts that occur when the network broadcasts back-to-back games.

A few other pockets of the country — including Charlotte, Denver, Detroit, Green Bay, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Salt Lake City and St. Louis — will get the Raiders and Bears, according to the national broadcast map posted at 506sports.com.
