Los Angeles Rams’ Schedule 2024-2025: Dates, Times, TV Channels, Strength of Schedule, and More

The Los Angeles Rams didn’t take long to rebound from their 2022 downfall. Last year, they won 10 games and returned to the NFL playoffs.

Expectations are high once again in the City of Angels. But is the Rams’ 2024 schedule pointing toward an easier road back to the Super Bowl? Let’s take a look at what the Rams have in store, including their strength of schedule ranking, our record prediction, potential prime-time games and their biggest matchups.

Los Angeles Rams’ Schedule and Opponents

The complete 2024 NFL schedule was released on May 15 at 8 p.m. ET, and we have it in the table below (which is best viewed in landscape mode).

Rams’ Strength of Schedule

The Rams’ schedule isn’t easy. But it’s not the hardest either. Per PFN’s in-house metric, the franchise is entering 2024 with the 12th-hardest schedule in the league.

Fortunately for Los Angeles, they have an easier slate of games than their rivals, the 49ers — the team they’re trying to overtake in the NFC West. San Francisco will face the NFL’s sixth-hardest slate this season.

Rams Record Prediction: 9-8

DraftKings Sportsbook has the Rams’ over/under set at 8.5 wins for the upcoming season.

This indicates a step backward from last season’s 10-7 mark, but there are signs that this might simply be a knee-jerk projection based on recent events.

For starters, the team must now move on from long-time face-of-the-franchise Aaron Donald since the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year retired in March.

The Rams started the process of replacing Donald in the 2024 NFL Draft when they drafted two EDGES (Jared Verse at No. 19 overall and Brennan Jackson at No. 154 overall) and two DTs (Braden Fiske at No. 39 overall and Tyler Davis at No. 196 overall). Verse and Fiske are reuniting on the Rams after playing together at Florida State.

The Rams also lost defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, who accepted the Atlanta Falcons’ head coaching job. Morris was popular inside the Rams’ locker room for his ability to connect with players.

Then, there’s the lack of high-profile, blockbuster signings and trades in contrast with past Rams offseason periods. The team’s biggest veteran acquisitions were cornerbacks Tre’Davious White and Darious Williams, guard Jonah Jackson, safety Kamren Curl, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, tight end Colby Parkinson.

However, Los Angeles managed to put together a playoff run with what was considered lesser talent compared to that of their 2021 Super Bowl 56 run.

Perhaps the Rams can build on their 2023 resurgence in their first post-Donald season. Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp, best known as the “nine and dime” connection, are back. L.A. also discovered major draft finds in Byron Young (third-rounder), Kobie Turner (fifth-round find), and star wideout Puka Nacua. Kyren Williams returns as well after a terrific 2024, plus the Rams added former Michigan RB Blake Corum through the draft.

Prime-Time Games

• Week 1: Rams at Lions (SNF)
• Week 8: Vikings at Rams (TNF)
• Week 10: Dolphins at Rams (MNF)
• Week 12: Eagles at Rams (SNF)
• Week 15: Rams at 49ers (TNF)

This season, the Rams will have five prime-time games — up from two in 2023.

After winning 10 games last year and returning to the NFL playoffs, it makes sense that Los Angeles will have plenty of prime-time games, especially since they are a big-market team.

When Is Los Angeles’ Bye Week?

The Rams’ bye is in Week 6. They will have two weeks to prepare for their Week 7 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Biggest Matchups of the Year

The two most critical contests involve the 49ers. L.A. managed to hand San Francisco its lone divisional loss a year ago. However, 49ers fans will argue that their team lost in a meaningless Week 18 contest when both teams had already clinched a playoff spot. Still, the Rams know all roads through the division (and NFC) go through the 49ers.

The Rams will host the Niners at home in Week 3, and then they’ll head to San Francisco to face them on the road in Week 15.

But the Rams’ upcoming slate also features a highly-anticipated reunion as well. Former Rams star and current Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey will have a revenge game at SoFi Stadium in Week 10. The Dolphins will be among five playoff teams heading to Inglewood to enter the “Rams’ House” this fall.

As for road contests, the most anticipated away game is a playoff rematch with the Lions, which will take place back at Ford Field in Week 1. Last season, Detroit managed to escape with a 24-23 victory before embarking on its run to the NFC title game.
