We finally know when the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will play their highly anticipated matchup in Melbourne, Australia next season. On Wednesday, the Rams announced their game against San Francisco will be played on Thursday, Sept. 10 at 5:35 p.m. PT.
With the 17-hour time difference between L.A. and Melbourne, the game will be played on Friday at 10:35 a.m. local time in Melbourne. It’s taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the first NFL regular-season game ever to be played in Australia.
The defending Super Bowl champions traditionally open the season on Thursday Night Football in Week 1, but because the Rams and 49ers are in that slot, the Seattle Seahawks will play the season opener the night before on Wednesday. Their opponent is still to be determined.
Rams-49ers is one of nine international games on the NFC schedule for 2026, with games spanning four continents and seven countries – the largest international slate in league history.
Qualifying season ticket members will be able to purchase tickets for Rams-49ers starting April 1 at 2 p.m. PT, with hospitality packages going on sale on April 6 at 5 p.m. PT.
General tickets will go on sale to the public on April 7 at 5 p.m. PT.
