The Los Angeles Rams are set to dominate the NFL spotlight in 2026, tying an all-time record with seven primetime games. Even the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks couldn't match that tally—they'll settle for six primetime slots, alongside the Packers, Chiefs, and Bills.
This marks a historic achievement for the Rams, joining the 2025 Chiefs and 2023 Bills as the only teams to play seven primetime games in a single season. It's a testament to their star power and the league's confidence in delivering must-watch matchups under the lights.
Other teams with significant primetime exposure include the Cowboys, Eagles, Bears, Patriots, and 49ers, each with five games. The Vikings, Giants, Steelers, Ravens, Lions, and Texans will appear four times, while the Jaguars, Broncos, Bengals, Falcons, Panthers, Chargers, and Bucs have three. At the other end, the Colts, Saints, and Browns will each get just one primetime appearance.
Here's a closer look at the Rams' primetime schedule, which kicks off with an international flair:
Week 1: Thursday, Sept. 10 vs. 49ers (8:35 p.m. ET, Netflix) — A season opener in Australia, giving fans a taste of global football.
