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.
