Although the schedules for next season won’t be revealed until sometime in April, teams are beginning to find out who they will play in 2020 as this season comes to a close. Opponents are determined by where teams finish within their division, as well as other factors such as the rotation of divisions from the opposing conference each year.
With the Rams 8-6 and having no chance of catching the Seahawks or 49ers, they’re guaranteed to finish third in the NFC West, ahead of only the Cardinals. As a result, their home opponents for next season at SoFi Stadium are set.
Here’s who the Rams will host in their first season at the new venue: Seahawks, 49ers, Cardinals, Giants, Cowboys, Patriots, Jets, Bears.

As you can tell, the Rams will face the NFC East and the AFC East next season as part of the division rotation. They will also face the third-place team in the NFC North at home (Bears) and the third-place team in the NFC South on the road, which has yet to be determined.
That team could be any one of the Falcons, Bucs or Panthers, who are all separated by two games. Most likely, it’ll be the Falcons or Panthers, both of which are currently 5-9.
In addition to the third-place NFC South team, the Rams will also face the Eagles, Redskins, Bills and Dolphins on the road in 2020, as well as their usual NFC West foes.
