NFL's Historic Melbourne Game: 49ers vs Rams Date Confirmed! (2026)

The highly anticipated NFL game between the 49ers and Rams is set to take place in Melbourne, but the exact date is still up for debate. According to John Ourand of Puck, the game will be played on either Wednesday, September 9th or Thursday, September 10th, as part of the NFL's opening weekend. This means that the Seahawks' home opener could be scheduled for either day, creating an exciting and dynamic schedule. But here's where it gets controversial... Some fans and experts believe that the 49ers-Rams game should be played on Sunday, September 6th, to give both teams ample time to recover from travel and time zone differences, preparing them for the challenges of Week 2 and beyond. However, the current plan seems to favor a midweek game, potentially making it the first game of the 2026 season. So, which date will it be? And what do you think? Do you agree with the proposed schedule, or do you have a different idea for the best time to play this highly anticipated game? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
