The 2026 Los Angeles Rams Schedule opens with one of the most extraordinary settings in NFL history — a regular season game at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia against the San Francisco 49ers on Netflix. Before any domestic NFL crowd has seen a regular season snap, the Rams are playing in Australia. That alone makes this one of the most unique schedules in the league this year. Add Monday Night Football against Buffalo and the Giants, a Wednesday night Netflix game against Green Bay before Thanksgiving, Thursday Night Football against Kansas City, and a Christmas Day road game at Seattle — and this schedule never lets up from September through January.
Preseason — 2026 Los Angeles Rams Schedule
The Rams open on the road at Kansas City before two SoFi Stadium preseason games — including a late-night Chargers exhibition that doubles as a shared-venue rivalry.
The August 27 game against the Chargers at SoFi Stadium is technically a road game for the Rams. The new orleans saints vs los angeles rams preseason home game on August 22 gives SoFi Stadium an early local look.
