Los Angeles Rams Tie NFL Primetime Record with Seven Games in 2026
The Los Angeles Rams have tied an NFL record for the most primetime games in a single season, securing seven high-profile matchups for the 2026 schedule. This achievement matches the records previously set by the 2023 Buffalo Bills and the 2025 Kansas City Chiefs. The NFL's scheduling decision reflects significant confidence in the Rams as a major ratings draw and competitive force in the NFC, despite historical perceptions of lukewarm local fan support. The slate includes four primetime games within the first five weeks, highlighting an intense early-season focus. Key fixtures include a Week 1 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Netflix, Monday Night Football appearances against the Giants and Bills, and holiday specials on Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas night. The schedule also features Thursday Night Football against the Chiefs and a Sunday Night Football game at Denver. This aggressive scheduling strategy underscores the league's expectation that quarterback Matthew Stafford and the team will remain healthy and contend for top standings throughout the season, following their recent NFC Championship appearance.
