There is a lot of excitement around the Rams heading into 2026. This is a team that fell short in the NFC Championship Game against the Seattle Seahawks. After trading for Trent McDuffie in the offseason, the Rams appear to be all in for a Super Bowl run. They will hope the schedule sets them up well.

We'll have all the latest in terms of schedule rumors for you right here, so make sure to follow along for all Rams schedule news.

2026 Rams Opponents

Home games: Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers (AUS), Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs

Away games: Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Las Vegas Raiders, Denver Broncos

Confirmed Rams Schedule

The Rams' 2026 schedule has been officially released. The path to the Super Bowl won't be easy, but they are also one of the best teams in the NFC.

Week 1: vs. San Francisco 49ers (Thursday Night Football, Australia)

The Rams' Week 1 game has already been known for a while as they will head to Melbourne, Australia to host the San Francisco 49ers.That game will take place on Thursday Night Football in Week 1 and will be televised on Netflix.

Week 2: vs. New York Giants (Monday Night Football)

Following a Week 1 trip to Australia, the Rams will have a long break before playing the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. It will be a second consecutive primetime game for both teams.

Now I can confirm: Giants will open with back-to-back prime time games at home on Sunday night against Cowboys, which we knew, and on "Monday Night Football" in Los Angeles against the Rams, per source. https://t.co/3vmHh3mmw3 https://t.co/wr4S0mlrHT

Week 4: @ Philadelphia Eagles

The Rams and Eagles played a classic game last year that was won on the final play. That came after the two teams met the previous postseason in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. This should be another good game between two of the NFC's best teams.

Week 5: vs. Buffalo Bills (MNF)

The Rams and Bills played a classic in 2024. Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen are the two reigning MVPs. This should be a fun mathup.

Week 6: vs. Arizona Cardinals

With the Arizona Cardinals in a rebuild, the Rams will continue to dominate this series. This will be Mike LaFleur's return to Los Angeles.

Week 7: @ Las Vegas Raiders

There is a lot of history between the Rams and Raiders when it comes to the city of Los Angeles. This game will be played in Vegas, but there is a bit of a rivalry here between the fanbases.

Week 8: vs. Los Angeles Chargers

The famous Battle for LA will take place in Week 8. Over the past two years, the Chargers have been looking to take that next step under Jim Harbaugh. This will be the third regular season meeting between the Rams and Chargers since the move to Los Angeles.

Week 9: @ Washington Commanders

This won't officially be Sean McVay's return to Washington, but it will be Kliff Kingsbury's. Kingsbury was the offensive coordinator for the Commanders over the last two years. The Commanders didn't meet expectations last year, but they could be back in 2026. There is a lot of potential for this game to be one of the best of the year.

Week 10: @ Arizona Cardinals

There isn't much to say here with the Cardinals. While they aren't technically tanking, they will be looking to put themselves in position to draft a quarterback. This should be an easy win for the Rams.

Week 11: Bye Week

While a Week 11 bye may be a little later than some would like, it sets the Rams up nicely for the stretch run over the final third of the season.

Week 12: vs Green Bay Packers (Thanksgiving Eve)

They are also confirmed to be playing on Thanksgiving Eve at home against the Green Bay Packers. That game will also be televised on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET. It's the first time ever the NFL has had a game on Thanksgiving Eve.

Week 13: vs. Kansas City Chiefs (TNF)

When these two teams last played on prime time, it was arguably the best game of all-time. The Rams won that game 54-51. This game may not hit those heights, but if the Chiefs get back to form, all eyes will be on this game in December.

Week 14: @ San Francisco 49ers

The Rams play the 49ers for a second time in Week 14. With a mini-bye and 10 days off to prepare, it's hard not to like their chances at a potential sweep.

Week 15: vs. Dallas Cowboys

It's hard to know what to expect from the Cowboys in 2026. They have the talent to be one of the best teams in the NFC and compete for a playoff spot. At the very least, the Cowboys will make this one interesting.

Week 16: @ Seattle Seahawks (Christmas)

When the Rams last played on Christmas, they beat the Broncos, 51-14. The Rams played the Seahawks in Week 16 last year in which they lost after blowing a 24-point lead. That was also the game with the controversial two-point conversation.

Week 17: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Last season, the Rams played their best game of the year against the Buccaneers. McVay has had success against Todd Bowles. However, there is potential for playoff implications in this one.

Week 18: vs. Seattle Seahawks

The Rams will finish the season against the Seattle Seahawks. It's very possible this game is for the NFC West title and the top seed in the NFC. Good thing for the Rams, this game will be played at SoFi Stadium.

Rams 2026 Confirmed Primetime Games

It should be expected for the Rams to be heavily featured in primetime in 2026. They are one of the top contenders in the NFC and the Super Bowl favorite heading into the season. The Rams are also in a major media market. The Rams are already set to begin the season with back-to-back primetime games and will also play in the NFL’s first Thanksgiving Eve game.

Strength of Schedule

The Rams won't have an easy road to the Super Bowl as they have one of the tougher schedules in the NFL. According to Sharp Football Analytics, the Rams will have the fifth-toughest schedule in the NFL next season.

However, based on the standard opponent win percentage from last season, which most of the media uses, it ranks as the 13th-most difficult. The Rams are set to play seven playoff teams from last season, setting up a gauntlet of a schedule.
