NFL announces the Rams will play league's first game in Australia in 2026
Briefly

The Rams are set to host the NFL's first regular-season game in Australia, taking place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground 18 months from now. Although the opponent is yet to be confirmed, the Rams' push for international expansion involves obtaining key marketing rights in several countries including Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea. Despite forfeiting one home game, the Rams ensure they'll maintain eight home games at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The initiative reflects growing global interest in the NFL, especially in Australia where the Rams have been active.
As we've been active in Australia over the past three years, we've seen a tremendous amount of interest from fans and businesses alike in bringing NFL football to Australia.
The Rams have made an aggressive global push, obtaining the NFL marketing rights to Australia in 2021, New Zealand in 2022 and this year Japan and South Korea.
