Los Angeles Rams Schedule 2026: Printable PDF, Times, TV Channels
The Los Angeles Rams schedule 2026 opens on the other side of the world. Los Angeles hosts the San Francisco 49ers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, September 10 at 8:35 PM ET on Netflix, the first NFL regular season game ever played in Australia.
Two more unusual dates follow. The Rams host Green Bay on Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, November 25, a window the league has never used before, then spend Christmas Day in Seattle on Friday, December 25.
Los Angeles arrives 3-0 in the preseason and with Aaron Donald back in the building. Sean McVay starts his tenth season after a 12-5 year, an MVP season from Matthew Stafford and a 31-27 NFC Championship loss at Seattle.

Los Angeles Rams Schedule 2026: Every Date and TV Channel
Home games are marked “vs” and road games “at.” All times are Eastern. Los Angeles sits in the Pacific zone, so subtract three hours for the local SoFi clock.
| Week | Date | Opponent | Time (ET) | TV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thu, Sep 10 | vs San Francisco 49ers (Melbourne) | 8:35 PM | Netflix |
| 2 | Mon, Sep 21 | vs New York Giants | 8:15 PM | ABC/ESPN |

| 9 | Sun, Nov 8 | at Washington Commanders | 1:00 PM | FOX |
| 10 | Sun, Nov 15 | at Arizona Cardinals | 4:05 PM | CBS |
| 11 | BYE WEEK | |||
| 12 | Wed, Nov 25 | vs Green Bay Packers | 8:00 PM | Netflix |
| 13 | Thu, Dec 3 | vs Kansas City Chiefs | 8:15 PM | Prime Video |
| 14 | Sun, Dec 13 | at San Francisco 49ers | 4:25 PM | FOX |

| 17 | TBD | at Tampa Bay Buccaneers | TBD | TBD |
| 18 | Jan 9 or 10 | vs Seattle Seahawks | TBD | TBD |
Two dates stay open, one more than most clubs carry. The league fixes Week 17 no later than just after Week 15, and sets Week 18 only once Week 17 is complete. That puts the home finale against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, January 9 or Sunday, January 10, 2027.
The shape of the year is front loaded and then top heavy. Three of the first five games are away from SoFi Stadium, counting Melbourne. Los Angeles meets an NFC West rival in Weeks 1, 6, 10, 14, 16 and 18, and both Seattle games land in the final three weeks, starting with a Christmas return to Lumen Field where last season ended.

Rams Preseason Results 2026
Los Angeles swept the 2026 NFL preseason without allowing a fourth quarter comeback in any of the three games.
| Game | Date | Opponent | Result | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sat, Aug 15 | at Kansas City Chiefs | W 20 to 12 | Arrowhead Stadium |
| 2 | Sat, Aug 22 | vs New Orleans Saints | W 34 to 0 | SoFi Stadium |
| 3 | Thu, Aug 27 | at Los Angeles Chargers | W 20 to 18 | SoFi Stadium |
The finale was the crosstown meeting with the Chargers listed as home team, which is why it appears as a road game in the same building. Rookie quarterback Ty Simpson played in all three and drew praise for the last one. The Rams cut to 53 players on August 30.
What Channel is the Rams Game On? TV Schedule
FOX carries seven games, standard for an NFC club. Four other national broadcasters and two streaming services split the rest.
| Network | Games | Weeks |
|---|---|---|
| FOX | 7 | 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 14, 16 |
| Netflix | 2 | 1, 12 |
| CBS | 2 | 10, 15 |
| NBC | 1 | 3 |
| ESPN | 1 | 5 |
| ABC and ESPN | 1 | 2 |
| Prime Video | 1 | 13 |
| TBD | 2 | 17, 18 |
Three things to know:
- An antenna covers 12 of the 17 games in Los Angeles. Seven on FOX, two on CBS, one on NBC, the Week 2 ABC simulcast, and Thanksgiving Eve, which is a Rams home game so a local station carries it free alongside Netflix. Week 5 needs ESPN and Week 13 needs Prime Video.
- The Melbourne broadcast plan is still unannounced. The league has said only that Week 1 streams on Netflix. Neither the Rams nor the NFL has named a Los Angeles station for the game, so treat Netflix as the sure route until they do.
- Flexible scheduling can still move things. The Sunday afternoon dates from Week 5 onward are the ones at risk of a night move, and the Week 15 home game against Dallas is the most obvious candidate. The Christmas trip to Seattle sits outside the Sunday windows, so it is the least likely date to change.
Out of market fans can pick up the Sunday afternoon FOX and CBS games through NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube. The Monday night games in Weeks 2 and 5 are the only pair on the card.
Rams Kickoff Times in Every Time Zone
Seven kickoff windows appear on the card. Pacific is the SoFi Stadium column.
| Eastern | Central | Mountain | Pacific (Los Angeles) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:00 PM | 12:00 PM | 11:00 AM | 10:00 AM |
| 4:05 PM | 3:05 PM | 2:05 PM | 1:05 PM |
| 4:25 PM | 3:25 PM | 2:25 PM | 1:25 PM |
| 8:00 PM | 7:00 PM | 6:00 PM | 5:00 PM |
| 8:15 PM | 7:15 PM | 6:15 PM | 5:15 PM |
| 8:20 PM | 7:20 PM | 6:20 PM | 5:20 PM |
| 8:35 PM | 7:35 PM | 6:35 PM | 5:35 PM |
Only two games ask Los Angeles fans to be up early: the Week 4 trip to Philadelphia and the Week 9 visit to Washington, both 10:00 AM local. Five of the eight road trips leave the Pacific zone, three of them full cross country flights to Philadelphia, Washington and Tampa Bay.
Arizona is worth double checking, because the state does not observe daylight saving time. The Week 6 home game on October 18 kicks at 1:05 PM in both Los Angeles and Phoenix.
The Week 10 rematch in Glendale on November 15 is different: after the clocks change on November 1, that 4:05 PM ET kickoff is 1:05 PM in Los Angeles but 2:05 PM at State Farm Stadium.

Rams 2026 Wall Calendar Printable (PDF)
Prefer month grids? This version runs August through December 2026. Home dates fill in Rams royal blue, road dates are outlined in sol gold, preseason squares are tagged PRE, and each square carries the opponent and kickoff time.
October and November each carry four game days, with the Wednesday night square on November 25 sitting alone after the bye.
December is the busiest stretch, four games in 22 days ending on Christmas at Lumen Field. Weeks 17 and 18 are not on the grid because the league has not set those dates.
Printing tip: pick “Actual size” or “100%” instead of “Fit to page” so the small type stays sharp.
The Melbourne Opener: A Home Game 7,900 Miles Away
The NFL announced on February 5, 2025 that Melbourne would host its first regular season game and named the Rams as the designated team. Los Angeles was the natural pick, because the club holds Australian marketing rights under the league’s Global Markets Program.
The venue is the Melbourne Cricket Ground, an oval seating just over 100,000 that normally hosts Australian rules football and Test cricket.
Three details separate this from a standard international fixture.
- It costs the Rams a SoFi date. Los Angeles is credited with nine home games, because the NFC hosts the extra interconference game this year, but only eight are played at SoFi Stadium.
- It is a division game. Most international matchups pair clubs from different divisions. Opening against the San Francisco 49ers puts an NFC West result on the board before either team has played at home. Both finished 12-5 last season, separated only by tiebreaker.
- The clock is upside down. Melbourne runs 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles in September, so the 8:35 PM ET Thursday kickoff is 10:35 AM on Friday, September 11 at the ground. The Rams then wait until Monday, September 21 to play again, an 11 day gap that doubles as the recovery window.
Melbourne is one of a record nine international games in 2026, alongside Rio de Janeiro, three in London, Paris, Madrid, Munich and Mexico City. It is the only one that kicks off in the morning local time.
When is the Rams Bye Week in 2026?
Week 11, the weekend of November 22. Ten games come before the break and seven after it.
The placement is deliberate. The league gave the Rams and the Green Bay Packers the same Week 11 bye so neither team plays a short week into the Wednesday night Thanksgiving Eve game. The rest turns an awkward midweek date into a ten day gap.
Week 11 is the busiest bye of the season with six clubs off: the Rams, Packers, Falcons, Browns, Patriots and Seahawks. Byes run from Week 5 through Week 14, and Week 12 has none because every team plays during Thanksgiving week. Compare all 32 clubs on our NFL bye weeks page.
Rams 2026 Roster and Coaching Staff
The head coach and the quarterback stayed. Almost everything on the defensive line changed.
- Aaron Donald came out of retirement on August 30, 2026 and is back on the active roster at 99, listed as a co starter on the defensive line. His Week 1 availability is still open.
- Myles Garrett arrived from Cleveland on June 1 for Jared Verse and three picks: a 2027 first, a 2028 second and a 2029 third. He was the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and set the NFL single season sack record with 23 in 2025. He was working back from a knee issue in late August, with Australia the stated goal.
- The secondary was rebuilt around two former Chiefs. Cornerback Trent McDuffie came from Kansas City in March for four picks and signed a four year extension. Jaylen Watson signed a three year deal the same day and starts opposite him.
- Matthew Stafford won the 2025 NFL MVP award after leading the league with 4,707 passing yards and 46 passing touchdowns, a franchise record. The Rams finished first in both total offense and scoring, the only team to pass 500 points. Stetson Bennett IV and rookie first rounder Ty Simpson back him up.
- Nate Scheelhaase was promoted to offensive coordinator in February, replacing Mike LaFleur, who left to coach Arizona. The Rams play his new team twice. Chris Shula runs the defense for a third year, Kliff Kingsbury joined as assistant head coach and Bubba Ventrone took over special teams.
- The receiving group is intact. Puka Nacua led the NFL with 129 catches and was second with 1,715 yards, while Davante Adams led the league with 14 receiving touchdowns in 14 games. Byron Young returns after a career high 12 sacks and a first Pro Bowl.
- Two changes are visible before kickoff. The club refreshed its primary logo and uniforms for 2026, dropping the gradients for solid sol gold and adding a white pant. Los Angeles was also the least penalized team in the league last season with 75 flags.
How to Get Los Angeles Rams Tickets
Home tickets run through the official Rams ticket page, which routes single game sales to Ticketmaster. Verified resale is on StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats, and the SoFi Stadium box office sells in person on game day.
Three home dates price highest: Thanksgiving Eve against Green Bay on November 25, the Thursday night visit from the Kansas City Chiefs on December 3 and the Week 15 meeting with Dallas.
The Week 8 crosstown game against the Los Angeles Chargers is the value pick, since neither club travels. Several home games carry giveaways, including a championship replica ring in Week 6.
Hold off on Week 18 until the league fixes the date, because a Saturday kickoff changes travel plans. Melbourne tickets are sold separately through Ticketmaster Australia.

In Los Angeles an antenna picks up 12 of the 17 games. Radio runs on ESPN LA 710 AM and 93.1 JACK FM, with a Spanish call on La Primera 1330 AM.
Why are the Rams playing in Melbourne in 2026?
The NFL announced on February 5, 2025 that Melbourne would host the first regular season game ever played in Australia and named the Rams as the designated team. Los Angeles holds Australian marketing rights under the league’s Global Markets Program. The game is at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, September 10 at 8:35 PM ET against the San Francisco 49ers. It counts as a Rams home game, which is why Los Angeles has nine home games but only eight dates at SoFi Stadium.
When is the Rams bye week in 2026?
Week 11, the weekend of November 22. The Rams play ten games before the break and seven after it. The bye sits between the Week 10 trip to Arizona on November 15 and the Thanksgiving Eve home game against Green Bay on November 25, giving Los Angeles ten days between games. Six teams are off in Week 11, the most of any week this season.
Do the Rams play on Thanksgiving or Christmas in 2026?
Not on Thanksgiving itself, but on both surrounding holidays. Los Angeles hosts the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday, November 25 at 8:00 PM ET on Netflix, the first game the NFL has ever scheduled in that window. The Rams then play at the Seattle Seahawks on Christmas Day, Friday, December 25 at 8:15 PM ET on FOX.
How many Super Bowls have the Los Angeles Rams won?
Two. Super Bowl XXXIV in January 2000 for the 1999 season, and Super Bowl LVI in February 2022 for the 2021 season, won at SoFi Stadium. The franchise also won NFL championships in 1945 and 1951. Super Bowl LXI returns to SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027, the first Super Bowl played on Valentine’s Day.
The Los Angeles Rams schedule 2026 is the most unusual in the league. It starts with a home game in Australia, includes the first Thanksgiving Eve fixture in NFL history, ends with two dates the league has not set, and finishes in the building that hosts Super Bowl LXI six weeks later.
