The Los Angeles Rams<\/a> are set to host the NFL\u2019s first-ever game on Thanksgiving Eve in 2026.<\/p>\n

The Rams, who already were announced to be kicking off the season against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia<\/a>, will also host the Green Bay Packers<\/a> on Nov. 25, as reported by ESPN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kickoff time for that November game is expected to be 5 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n

Both the Melbourne game and the Thanksgiving Eve game will be broadcasted by Netflix.<\/p>\n

Coming off a close loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks<\/a> in the NFC Championship Game, the Rams look ready to compete again for the Lombardi Trophy in 2026.<\/p>\n

The reigning MVP, Matthew Stafford, is back, as are stars like wide receiver Puka Nacua<\/a> and linebacker Jared Verse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While many expected the Rams to draft another offensive weapon for Stafford ahead of another run at the Super Bowl, the Rams instead drafted quarterback Ty Simpson out of Alabama<\/a> 13th overall.<\/p>\n

Popular predictions for the Rams often included players like USC receiver Makai Lemon<\/a>, who instead went to the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Lemon or a similar player could have made an impact immediately, the Simpson pick, which puzzled many in the sports world<\/a>, is much more a set up for future success than it is an investment in the coming season.<\/p>\n

Only time will tell if the Rams made the right decision.<\/p>\n

One thing that is for sure in the upcoming season, though, is slight modifications to the Rams\u2019 uniforms and logo.<\/p>\n

The minor refresh for the Rams<\/a> marks the first tweak to their logo and uniforms since they moved back to LA a decade ago.<\/p>\n

Are you excited to watch the Rams in their Netflix games this year?<\/p>\n
