The NFL unveiled its full 2025 schedule on Wednesday, and for the Los Angeles Rams, one stretch of the season comes with a bit of international flair and careful planning behind the scenes.
Before the Rams fly overseas to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 7 at Wembley Stadium, they’ll make a stop on the East Coast. At the team’s request to play on the East Coast before going to London, the league scheduled them to play the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6, giving Los Angeles a more manageable trip abroad.

It’s a small logistical win, but an important one. By heading to Baltimore first, the Rams avoid a jarring time zone shift and cross-country flight just before heading to London. Instead, they’ll already be acclimated to Eastern Time, easing the transition for the transatlantic showdown.
The Week 7 matchup marks the Rams’ return to international play for the first time since 2019, when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals in London. This time, they’ll take on a Jaguars team that’s become a fixture in the UK, with a growing fanbase and frequent trips across the pond.
While it’s not the most daunting stretch on paper, the two-game road trip will test the Rams’ adaptability and endurance. If they can navigate it smoothly, it could be a confidence booster heading into the heart of their schedule.
