Rebilas-Imagn Images The NFL stacked the defending NFC champion Los Angeles Rams’ schedule with high-stakes matchups at the beginning and end of the season to maximize intrigue across the league. The Rams open the 2026 season in Melbourne against the San Francisco 49ers and close the year with two games against the Seattle Seahawks in their final three weeks. Last season, it felt inevitable that either the Rams, Seahawks, or 49ers would represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, a three-way rivalry ultimately decided by only a few points in the NFC Championship Game.
Do you like the Rams having an opportunity to start and finish the season on a massive stage, or did the NFL screw L. A. with one of the toughest schedules in football?
