The 2026 NFL season is officially on the horizon as the Los Angeles Rams have released their full regular season schedule for the year ahead.

As is always the case on schedule release day, teams release creative videos surrounding their schedule. This year, the Rams went with a Napolean Dynamite themed video:

It comes as no surprise that the Rams are being heavily promoted by the NFL in 2026. They fell just short of the Super Bowl a year ago and were one of the most fun teams to watch.

This offseason, the Rams addressed almost all of their needs, including the cornerback position. That has made them the favorites to win the Super Bowl this season with reigning MVP Matthew Stafford back in the fold.

In 2026, the Rams will be playing seven primetime game, including their first three contests to kick off the season. The Rams will kick things off in Australia when they host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football in Week 1.

They will then return home and host the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 2. That gives the Rams some extra time to prepare after the long flight back from Australia.

In Week 3, the Rams will take on the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. L.A.’s gauntlet to begin the season then continues with a road game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4.

The Rams will be heavily featured around the holidays this year as they are hosting the Green Bay Packers in the first-ever Wednesday night game the day before Thanksgiving. That will be televised on Netflix, as will the Rams’ game against the Seattle Seahawks as part of the league’s annual Christmas Day slate.

The Rams and Seahawks had three thrilling matchups last season, including in the NFC Championship Game, so it’s not a surprise to see them squaring off in a premiere game like Christmas night. What is a bit surprising though is the fact that will be the first time they square off as L.A. will then welcome Seattle to SoFi Stadium to close out the regular season in Week 18.

After the Rams’ game on Thanksgiving eve against the Packers, they will then take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday Night Football.

The league did the Rams no favors when putting their schedule together, presenting Sean McVay and his staff with a tough challenge. L.A. will travel 34,478 miles this season, which is second-most in the league.

Here is the Rams’ full schedule for the upcoming season.
