Los Angeles Rams opponents 2026: Who’s on the schedule, how easy or hard will their schedule be

The Los Angeles Rams put together a successful 12-5 campaign together in 2025 and enters the postseason with a good shot at reaching their second Super Bowl in five seasons. They were one of the more dominant squads in the entire league on both sides of the ball and that bore out with them finishing second in point differential at +172. Matthew Stafford put together arguably the best season of his long career and is the current frontrunner to win MVP while Puka Nacua finished second in the NFL in receiving.

Barring any dramatic changes in the offseason, L.A. should enter the 2026 as a top contender once again and we now know the team’s full slate of opponents for that campaign.

The Rams will have eight home games and eight road games next season, along with being already tabbed for the NFL’s first ever regular-season game in Australia. The rotation will include matchups against the entire AFC West and NFC East, along with their usual six divisional games within the NFC West. Since they finished second in the division, they will be matched up with the second-place finishers of the AFC East (Bills), NFC North (Packers), and NFC South (Buccaneers) to round out the 17-game schedule.

Los Angeles will once again have a pretty difficult schedule on paper with nine matchups against 2025 playoff participants. That comes with the territory of playing in the league’s toughest division as their clashes against the Seahawks and 49ers could once again play a major factor in determining the No. 1 seed for the conference. Games against the Chargers, Broncos, Packers, Bills, and Eagles will be candidates for primetime slots when the NFL schedule makers meet this spring and the status of the Chiefs game will depend on when Patrick Mahomes returns to the field after his ACL tear.
