The Los Angeles Rams don’t yet know who they’re playing in the first round of the playoffs, but they do know when they’re playing.
The NFL announced the full wild-card schedule for next weekend and the Rams will play in the final game of the first round against either the Minnesota Vikings or Detroit Lions. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on Monday Night Football, which will be broadcast by ESPN with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman in the booth.
There will be two games on Saturday and three on Sunday, with the Rams wrapping things up on Monday.
Below is the full Wild Card Weekend schedule, which starts with Chargers-Texans on Saturday afternoon.

The Rams visited the Lions in the wild-card round last year, a game that was played on Sunday Night Football. So for the second straight year, the NFL wants Los Angeles in prime time for a playoff game.
