The NFL plans to officially unveil its full 2016 game schedule Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.

The planned announcement of the NFL schedule, which has become treated almost like a national holiday, was confirmed by the league in a news release Wednesday.

ESPN will televise a two-hour SportsCenter special Thursday beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

League spokesman Brian McCarthy took to Twitter earlier Wednesday to announce that the schedule was complete and would be revealed Thursday.

Each team's home and away opponents in the regular season were already announced by the NFL after the end of the 2015 regular season.

The dates of the NFL's three games to be played in London this season also were previously set: Indianapolis vs. Jacksonville on Oct. 2., an undisclosed NFC East team vs. the Rams on Oct. 23 and Washington vs. Cincinnati on Oct. 30.

Anxious to see who the Rams open against at the Colliseum. And to see how many feature games they have. Oct 23rd is set in stone for London though.

I bet the Rams don't close in Seattle this year. Any takers?

 

[Mojo Ram]

All i'm really hoping for is a good bye week.
Last year SF got theirs week 10, AZ week 9, Seattle week 9

Rams? Week 6.

an undisclosed NFC East team vs. the Rams on Oct. 23

I'll take a guess and say the Giants!! ( Truthfully I thought that was already determined!)

 

[RhodyRams]

just a reminder to everyone

Read my signature and remember I told ya so !!

 

[Young Ram]

Rams 1st game prime time guaranteed.

 

[T-REX]

I'll take a shot at a guess...

Week 1 Sunday September 11th: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1:00pm EST

Week 2 Sunday September 18th: vs. San Francisco 49ers 4:00pm EST

Week 3 Sunday September 25th: vs. Buffalo Bills 4:00pm EST

Week 4 Sunday October 2nd: @ Arizona Cardinals 4:00pm EST

Week 5 Sunday October 9th: @ New York Jets 1:00pm EST

Week 6 Sunday October 16th: vs. Seattle Seahawks 4:00pm EST

Week 7 Sunday October 23rd: vs. New York Giants 10:00am EST (London)

Week 8 October 27-31: Bye Week

Week 9 Sunday November 6th: @ New England Patriots 1:00pm EST

Week 10 Monday November 14th: vs. Seattle Seahawks 8:30pm EST

Week 11 Sunday November 20th: vs. Miami Dolphins 4:00pm EST

Week 12 Thursday November 24th: @ Detroit Lions 1:00pm EST (Thanksgiving)

Week 13 Sunday December 4th: @ New Orleans Saints 1:00pm EST

Week 14 Sunday December 11th: vs. Carolina Panthers 4:00pm EST

Week 15 Thursday December 15th: vs. Arizona Cardinals 8:30pm EST

Week 16 Sunday December 25th: @ Seattle Seahawks 4:00pm EST

Week 17 Sunday January 1st: @ San Fransisco 49ers 4:00pm EST

Based off the Trojans schedule. The Trojans play at the Coliseum on September 10th vs. Utah St. so I doubt the RAMS open the season home unless they move the Trojans game??? It's time for a Thanksgiving Day game for crying out loud!

@T-REX Not sure who you left out but you have us playing the Shegulls 3 times.

Also one thing to consider for those projecting what prime time games the Rams have. I believe the Colisseum has a rule about no weekday night games during school session.

3rd hardest schedule no big deal. I'd almost put money on us playing Seattle week 16,17 its tradition at this point. Our bye week should be the week after we play in London so I think week 9? Not horrible.

Good point.

I guessed the bye week before the London game, then a Monday game for an extra rest day after London. Is there a usual procedure? Don't they travel early to build hype and for media interviews and appearances?

My money would be on a SF matchup to close out the season.

Could be wrong but I always thought the teams that play overseas get their bye week the next week to recover from travel. As for hype I was there for the Rams game back in 2012 and the nfl held a rally the day before and there were tons of people there. Fans of every team where there and the teams playing came out and talked it was cool.

Teams playing in London ALWAYS get their bye week following the game.

Thanks @OldSchool, yeah week 6 should have been the Atlanta Falcons.
Wasn't aware of the weekend night games rule, thanks for clearing that up.
