The full NFL schedule won't be out until later this spring, but the league has begun revealing its 2026 international slate. On Thursday, the matchup for the first NFL game in Australia was announced.

The Los Angeles Rams had already been revealed as one of the teams facing off Down Under in the fall. They will meet their NFC West rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, the NFL said this afternoon.

Rams will play the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia next season in the NFL’s first-ever game in Australia.
