Preseason

The Rams' preseason opponents and schedule will be announced in the spring.

Regular season

2021 opponents

Listed below are the Rams' opponents for 2021. The length of the season is contingent on whether the league and the National Football League Players Association agree to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games. If this happens, a 17th game would match the Rams against a interconference opponent from one of the three divisions from the AFC that the Rams are not scheduled to play in 2021, which would be the Baltimore Ravens based on division placement from 2020.[4]

Exact dates and times will be announced in the spring.

Category	Home	Away
Division opponents (NFC West)	Arizona Cardinals San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks
Conference opponents (NFC North)	Chicago Bears Detroit Lions	Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings
Conference opponents (based on 2020 division placement)	Tampa Bay Buccaneers	New York Giants
Interconference opponents (AFC South)	Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee Titans	Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts
