The Rams are heading into the 2026 preseason with a roster that looks loaded from top to bottom, and every one of their exhibition games will be easy to find on TV or streaming.
Los Angeles enters the year with reigning MVP Matthew Stafford running the offense for Sean McVay, and the core that finished first in the NFL in scoring is back intact. Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Kyren Williams and Blake Corum are all returning. On the other side of the ball, the Rams added major firepower by trading for two-time Defensive Player of the Year edge rusher Myles Garrett and cornerback Trent McDuffie, then brought in McDuffie’s former Chiefs teammate Jaylen Watson in free agency.
Not every one of those names is likely to play much in August, but the preseason will still offer the first real look at what this group can become.
All three Rams preseason games will air locally on CBS LA. The matchups against the Chiefs and Chargers will also be shown on NFL Network. Fans can stream every Rams preseason game live on fubo.

Stafford And Davante Adams Are Giving Rams Fans Real Reason To Believe
Matthew Stafford missing training camp last year because of a back injury left the Rams trying to build timing on the fly, and that showed up in the early connection with Davante Adams. Adams still drew plenty of attention, but the two never really had the kind of rhythm Los Angeles wanted, and the result was a season in which he caught just over half of the passes thrown his way.
Now Stafford is back in camp, and the difference has been noticeable enough to fuel real optimism around the offense. The quarterback and Adams have reportedly built strong chemistry this summer, and Sean McVay believes that connection can give the Rams a cleaner, more dangerous attack when the games start to count.

Sean McVays New Approach Is Changing The Rams Again
Sean McVays reset after the Rams 12-loss 2022 season did not just change how he talked about the job, it changed how he worked it. The Los Angeles coach moved away from trying to control every detail and started leaning more into the process, the journey and the people around him. That shift helped the Rams rebound to a 10-7 finish and get back to the playoffs in 2023, a reminder that McVays best adjustment may have been less about scheme than perspective.
The broader lesson for the Rams is in how McVay now balances clarity with trust. He has pointed to mentorship from Chris Petersen as part of that evolution, and he has made it clear that his role is to give players direction without hovering over every decision. For a franchise that has seen McVay evolve before, this version feels especially important because it suggests the Rams are not just chasing a return to form, but building one on a different foundation.

Rams QB2 Battle Is Telling Fans Exactly What McVay Trusts
Training camp has given the Rams a pretty clear look at how Sean McVay is sorting out the quarterback room behind Matthew Stafford. Stetson Bennett and rookie Ty Simpson are the two names in the backup mix, but the way the reps have been handled says plenty about what McVay values right now, especially with Bennetts experience giving him a head start in the competition.
Simpson is still being brought along at a slower pace, which is a sign the Rams are thinking long-term with the rookie instead of forcing him into a role before he is ready. For a team that has lived through the importance of quarterback depth, the current setup suggests McVay trusts Bennett to handle the No. 2 job while Simpson continues his development away from the pressure of an immediate push.
