The NFL's schedule is based on a formula assuring that a team will face each of the 31 other teams at least once over four years.
Each team plays home and road games against each of the other three teams in its division, one game each against all the teams in one division in its conference and one in the other conference, the remaining teams in its conference that finished in the same position in the standings as it did and a team from a designated division in the other conference that finished in the same position it did.
The Rams open their three-game preseason schedule Aug. 11 by playing host to the Dallas Cowboys at SoFi Stadium. They will face the Chargers Aug. 17 with the Rams designated as the road team.
