The Los Angeles Rams just dropped their 2026 schedule, and they did it with a side of pure, nostalgic gold—channeling the cult classic comedy Napoleon Dynamite for their big reveal. Set to the White Stripes' iconic opening track, "We're Going to Be Friends," the rollout brought a quirky, fun-loving vibe that fans couldn't get enough of. It's the kind of creativity that reminds us why the Rams are one of the most entertaining teams in the league, both on and off the field.
So, what's on the docket for the Rams this season? It's a mix of marquee matchups, international flair, and a few prime-time standouts. Let's break it down:
Week 1 kicks off with a bang on September 10, as the Rams face the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, Australia—the first-ever NFL game Down Under. Tune in at 5:35 p.m. on Netflix. Week 2 brings the New York Giants to town on Monday Night Football (September 21, 5:15 p.m., ESPN & ABC). Then, it's a road trip to Denver on Week 3 (September 27, 5:20 p.m., NBC) and Philadelphia on Week 4 (October 4, 10 a.m., FOX).
The action heats up in Week 5 with a Monday night showdown against the Buffalo Bills (October 12, 5:15 p.m., ESPN), followed by a home game versus the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6 (October 18, 1:05 p.m., FOX). The Rams then hit the road to face the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7 (October 25, 1:25 p.m., FOX) before a crosstown battle with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8 (November 1, 1:05 p.m., FOX).
After a trip to Washington in Week 9 (November 8, 10 a.m., FOX) and a rematch with the Cardinals in Week 10 (November 15, 1:05 p.m., CBS), the Rams get a bye in Week 11. They return with a historic Week 12 game on Thanksgiving Eve against the Green Bay Packers (November 25, 5:00 p.m., Netflix). Week 13 features a Thursday night clash with the Kansas City Chiefs (December 3, 5:15 p.m., Amazon Prime Video), and Week 14 sends the Rams to San Francisco (December 13, 1:25 p.m., FOX). The regular season wraps up with a Christmas Day road game against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16 (December 25, 5:15 p.m., FOX).
While many games already have set times and broadcasters, a few slots remain flexible for late-season adjustments. But the highlights are clear: the Rams are making history with that Australia opener and the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game, both streaming exclusively on Netflix. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just love a good schedule reveal, this season is shaping up to be one for the books.
