These are the 2026 home opponents for the Rams:

 

Cardinals

49ers

Seahawks

Giants

Cowboys

Chiefs

Chargers

TBD NFC North team

TBD AFC East team

 

Pray the Rams don't repeat as division titlists in 2025, since that increases the Bills' chance of playing in Australia (assuming we win the AFC East).


 

 

 

 

 

just remember…

 

schedule cycle periods have bern

2002-2009

2010-2017

2018-2025

 

starting in 2026 the division pairs can get changed which affects home/ road match ups

 

in 2009 they did make changes with west divisions where they split west coast pairings

 

2002-2009 it was KC-DEN and  chargers- raiders and SEA-SF and Rams-AZ which created 4 west coast trips when nfc east got paired with both west div and then afc east git both western pairs. The new pairs changed to rams-sea and az-SF and KC-chargers and den- raiders. Thry Al’s made a flip innthe nfc south,

 

this flip affected scheduling so like with bills-seattle

 

2004 at seattle

2008 Seattle

2012 seattle ( in Toronto) 

2016 at seattle

2020 seattle

2024 at Seattle 


 

Pairs can change.

 

if thry go to 18 games— coukd that additional game being another nfc vs afc game like positionally you play 2 teams in a division.

Why pray that the Bills don't play as a road team in Australia? I get the not wanting to give up a home game (to an extent at least) but why so desperate when the Bills would be a road team?

 

I don't want Buffalo traveling to Australia. Too far. I'd rather it be in the UK, Germany, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, etc.

Based on the current formula schedule would say there is plans to switch pairings to create an eagles at rams game when eagles and cowboys or giants flip pairs

Australian here, I live in Melbourne and I have followed the Bills since 1990…

 

Geez dude, are you me? That's me too. Exactly.

 

I have a Rams fan friend so we definitely would go.

MCG is not really the best stadium for it though. The gridiron would be this small rectangle in the middle of the oval.
