When you're the Super Bowl favorites, the NFL wants to put you on the big stage as often as possible.
That's the situation the Los Angeles Rams are in this season as one of the league's marquee teams. With the schedule officially out, we now know just how popular the league thinks the Rams will be in 2026.
They were given seven prime-time games this year, which ties the all-time record. The Chiefs in 2025 and the Bills in 2023 both played seven prime-time games to set the NFL record for a single season, which the Rams have now tied.
These are the Rams' seven prime-time games in 2026.
Week 18 games all come with dates and times that are still to be determined, but with the Rams facing the Seahawks in the season finale, it's possible that game will be flexed into prime time to give Los Angeles eight night games. That'll only be the case if it carries playoff implications, though.
Standalone games can sometimes feel dangerous for a team because of the stage they're played on, but the Rams have never been afraid of the bright lights before. According to Stathead, the Rams have played 44 prime-time games since 2017, including the playoffs, and have gone 24-20 – the 10th-best winning percentage in that span.
