Counted from the table above: nine home games on paper, but only eight at SoFi Stadium, because Los Angeles is the designated home team for the neutral site opener in Melbourne. FOX has seven games, CBS two, NBC one and ESPN two, both simulcast on ABC. Netflix has two and Prime Video one. That leaves 12 of the 15 assigned games free over the air.
Weeks 17 and 18 have no network yet. Netflix already holds one Week 18 game on Saturday, January 9, and the league plans three Saturday games that week split between Netflix and ESPN with ABC, so the Seahawks finale is a live candidate for one of those windows.
Key Matchups, Bye Week and the Melbourne Opener
The season starts with a first. The Rams are the designated home team against the 49ers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, September 10, the first NFL regular season game ever played in Australia. Kickoff is 8:35 PM ET, which is 10:35 AM on Friday, September 11 in Melbourne, and Netflix carries it in more than 200 countries at no extra cost to members.
Week 12 brings another first. Green Bay visits SoFi Stadium on Wednesday, November 25 at 8:00 PM ET for the league’s inaugural Thanksgiving Eve game, also on Netflix. Other circled dates include the Monday night visit from Buffalo that puts 2025 MVP Matthew Stafford opposite 2024 winner Josh Allen, a Thursday night meeting with Kansas City, and Christmas night in Seattle.
Both Seahawks games carry extra weight. Seattle beat Los Angeles 31 to 27 at Lumen Field in the NFC Championship Game last January, then won Super Bowl LX, so the Christmas trip and the Week 18 home finale are both rematches with the defending champions. The Rams went 12 and 5 in 2025 and took the No. 5 seed, winning 34 to 31 at Carolina and 20 to 17 in overtime at Chicago before that title game loss. Six NFC West fixtures and the Week 11 bye shape the run in.
On the roster, Stafford is back for an 18th NFL season, and Puka Nacua led the NFL with 129 catches for 1,715 yards and 10 touchdowns. The secondary was rebuilt around two former Kansas City teammates, cornerback Trent McDuffie, acquired for four draft picks, and Jaylen Watson, signed to a three year deal. The Rams also spent the 13th overall pick on Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson.
Home tickets are sold through the Rams ticket office on Ticketmaster, and the club runs its own official resale channel, the SSL Marketplace. StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats also list Rams seats, but they are third party resale marketplaces rather than team partners.

FAQ: Los Angeles Rams 2026 Season
When do the Rams play their first game in 2026?
The Rams open the 2026 season on Thursday, September 10 against the San Francisco 49ers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. Kickoff is 8:35 PM ET, or 10:35 AM local time on Friday, September 11, and Netflix carries it in more than 200 countries at no extra cost to members.
Who is the Rams head coach and quarterback in 2026?
Sean McVay returns as head coach, a role he has held since 2017. Matthew Stafford is back at quarterback for his 18th NFL season after winning the 2025 AP Most Valuable Player award. The Rams also drafted Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson 13th overall.
Where do the Rams play home games in 2026?
The Rams play at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. They have nine home games in total, but only eight are at SoFi because they are the designated home team for the neutral site opener in Melbourne.
What channel are Rams games on in 2026?
FOX carries seven games, CBS two, NBC one and ESPN two, both of them simulcast on ABC. Netflix streams two games and Prime Video one. Weeks 17 and 18 have not been assigned a network yet. Preseason games air locally on KCBS and KCAL.
When is the Rams bye week in 2026?
The Rams have their bye in Week 11, in mid November, immediately before the Thanksgiving Eve home game against the Packers on November 25.
Why are Weeks 17 and 18 still listed as TBD?
The Rams game at Tampa Bay is one of four Week 17 matchups the NFL left unassigned. Two of them move to Saturday, January 2, at 4:30 PM ET on NBC and Peacock and 8:00 PM ET on Peacock, and the rest play Sunday, January 3. Week 18 is set only after Week 17 finishes, so the Seahawks finale lands on Saturday, January 9 or Sunday, January 10. Netflix already holds one Week 18 Saturday game, so that finale could end up there.
How many primetime games do the Rams have in 2026?
Seven as currently assigned, four of them at SoFi Stadium. That number can grow, because the Week 17 and Week 18 games have not been given a window yet.

When do the Rams play the defending champion Seahawks?
Twice. Los Angeles visits Seattle on Christmas night, Friday, December 25 at 8:15 PM ET on FOX, and hosts the Seahawks in Week 18 on a date still to be confirmed. Seattle beat the Rams 31 to 27 in the NFC Championship Game before winning Super Bowl LX over New England.
How did the Rams finish the 2025 season?
They went 12 and 5 and earned the No. 5 seed in the NFC, then won 34 to 31 at Carolina and 20 to 17 in overtime at Chicago before losing 31 to 27 at Seattle in the NFC Championship Game.
How many Super Bowl titles do the Rams have?
Two. Super Bowl XXXIV after the 1999 season and Super Bowl LVI after the 2021 season, the second of those won at SoFi Stadium.
Can I watch Rams games for free?
