The Chargers will remain in San Diego for the 2016 NFL season as they make another attempt to land a new stadium.
The announcement by team owner Dean Spanoscame on Friday came shortly after the Chargers reached an agreement in principle to share the proposed football stadium in Inglewood with the Los Angeles Rams.
The Chargers now have until January next year to decide whether to move the franchise to Los Angeles.
The team purchased land for team headquarters and a practice facility in Orange County earlier this week.
However, Spanos said in a statement that his intention is to work toward remaining in San Diego for the long term and finding a stadium solution.
Spanos said he is moving forward "with a fresh perspective and new sense of possibility" in terms of solving the situation in San Diego.
