It's going to be a tough road back to the NFC title game for the Los Angeles Rams, who are currently viewed as the Super Bowl favorites going into the 2026 season. Their schedule was released on Thursday night and one thing's for sure: it's loaded with strong opponents. They start with the San Francisco 49ers in Australia, play the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Eve, take on the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles, and also have to play the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks twice. The Rams should still make the postseason and could go on another deep run, but fans and analysts are well aware of how difficult the slate looks. Here are some of the reactions on social media to the Rams' 2026 schedule.
With Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay, I'm not too concerned about the schedule difficulty. Fully expect the defense to be better as well.
I think 13-4 is a realistic possibility. That would set the Rams up nicely for the NFC West title and No. 1 seed in NFC.
— Blaine Grisak 💭 (@BGMediaOnSI) May 14, 2026 Yet another extremely eventful Rams schedule. At least 7 prime-time games. They play in Melbourne, on Thanksgiving Eve and on Christmas. Twice on Monday night and once on Thursday night. Two of their last 3 against the Super Bowl champs. Phew.
— Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) May 14, 2026 So Rams & MVP Matthew Stafford have 7 primetime games, including four of their first five and the first rematch of the season against Seattle in Week 16 on Christmas Day
Rams will play the Seahawks in 2 out of 3 weeks in Weeks 16 & 18. Think those will matter in the NFC West?
