The Los Angeles Rams’ season opener against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia won’t be broadcast nationally on traditional television. You’ll need a streaming service in order to watch it.
According to The Athletic, Netflix will broadcast Rams-49ers in Week 1 this September. Netflix has broadcast two Christmas games in each of the last two seasons, which will continue with two more games this year.
Kickoff between the Rams and 49ers will be at 8:35 p.m. ET on Thursday, Sept. 10, from the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. The game will be played locally on Friday morning in Melbourne at 10:35 a.m.
In addition to being streamed on Netflix, the game will be televised in local markets through over-the-air TV, per The Athletic. So those in Los Angeles and San Francisco will still get the game on traditional TV. But for the rest of the country, a Netflix subscription will be required.
