When do the Rams play the Packers?

Kickoff is Wednesday, November 25, at 5 p.m. Pacific (8 p.m. Eastern) at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The game is on Netflix. U2 plays the halftime show, according to the Rams.

Why is this NFL game on a Wednesday?

The NFL scheduled it as its first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game, the night before the Thanksgiving Day games, and gave it to Netflix. The league has not given a reason for picking these two teams, so we won't guess one.

Both teams come in rested: Week 11 is a bye for the Rams and for the Packers. Records and injuries will change before then, so check the team reports in the days before the game.

What comes after the Packers game?

The Rams host the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, December 3, at 5:15 p.m. PT. That is a separate game and a separate contract. For the season picture, see our Rams, Chargers and 49ers 2026 guide.

How do NFL game markets work?

A yes or no event contract asks one defined question, such as which team wins. A winning yes contract pays $1, and the price before that is the market's view, not a promise. With a Wednesday kickoff, the contract may also close earlier in the week than you are used to, so check its close time and what happens if the game is moved.
