The Los Angeles Rams are staring down a schedule in 2026 that reads like a who's who of recent NFL royalty. As defending Super Bowl champions themselves, L.A. is set to face every team that has hoisted the Lombardi Trophy since 2019—excluding, of course, themselves.

While the Kansas City Chiefs have dominated the era with three titles, the Rams will also battle the other three champions from that span: the Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That means six of the last seven Super Bowl winners are on the docket.

But the gauntlet doesn't stop there. Expand the timeline back to 2013, and Los Angeles will face every champion except the New England Patriots (who won in 2014, 2016, and 2018). That adds the 2013 Seahawks, the 2015 Denver Broncos, and the 2017 Eagles to the mix—teams that defined an era of football.

Sure, rosters have turned over, and the game has evolved, but the coaching and quarterback pedigree remain. Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, and Sam Darnold—all Super Bowl-winning signal-callers—will line up against the Rams. On the sidelines, Mike Macdonald, Nick Sirianni, and Andy Reid bring championship-winning leadership.

For Rams fans, this season isn't just a test of skill—it's a battle against the best of the best. And for those who love the game, it's a reminder that greatness is built on facing the toughest competition.
