The Rams tied an NFL record for primetime games (7) but face tough stretches at the beginning and end

The 2026 NFL schedule is here, and the Los Angeles Rams just scored a massive win. Sean McVay's squad tied an NFL record with seven primetime games, including a jaw-dropping four in the first five weeks. For a team looking to make another deep playoff run, that's a statement of confidence from the league—and a huge opportunity for fans to gear up in their best Rams apparel.

Let's break down the primetime party. The Rams will light up the schedule with a Monday Night Football doubleheader at home against the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills, a Wednesday Thanksgiving Eve showdown with the Green Bay Packers, a Thursday Night Football clash with the Kansas City Chiefs, a Friday Christmas Night road trip to face the Seattle Seahawks, and a Sunday Night Football battle at the Denver Broncos. That's seven games under the lights, tying an NFL record and giving LA a national stage all season long.

But with great exposure comes great challenge. The Rams open with three straight primetime games and four of their first five under the lights. That's a gauntlet that will test their depth and durability from the jump. The good news? Their Week 11 bye falls right in the middle of the season—ideal for a team hoping to play deep into January and February. Injuries are inevitable, and a mid-season break is a best-case scenario for reloading and regrouping.

On the travel front, LA will log serious miles early, playing five of their eight road games in the first half. That means the second half could be kinder on their legs, with more home cooking at SoFi Stadium. For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, this schedule is a double-edged sword: the primetime spotlight is a reward, but the early stretch will reveal if the Rams have the grit to match the hype.

Whether you're tuning in for the Christmas night rematch with the Seahawks or the Thanksgiving Eve showdown with the Packers, one thing is clear: the Rams are must-watch TV this season. Get your game-day gear ready—it's going to be a wild ride.
