15 Aug
Summary
- Rams start 2026 season on the road against Chiefs.
- Chiefs acquired QB Justin Fields due to Mahomes' injury.
- Chiefs added RB Kenneth Walker III for the upcoming season.
The Los Angeles Rams are set to begin their 2026 NFL campaign on August 15, 2026, with a preseason Week 1 game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. The Rams aim to build on their successful 2025 season, where they finished 12-5 and reached the NFC Championship game.
The Chiefs, conversely, are looking to rebound after a difficult 2025 season, ending with a 6-11 record and missing the playoffs. Their offense will see significant changes as quarterback Patrick Mahomes recovers from a torn ACL, leading to the acquisition of Justin Fields from the New York Jets. Additionally, the Chiefs have bolstered their backfield with the addition of Super Bowl LX MVP running back Kenneth Walker III.
This preseason matchup marks the first meeting between the Rams and Chiefs since Week 12 of the 2022 season. Fans can anticipate seeing new player combinations as both teams prepare for the upcoming regular season.
