Follow live: Rams take on 49ers in NFL's first game in Australia

Following last night's season opener, the NFL action continues with the first "Thursday Night Football" game of the 2026 season, featuring the San Francisco 49ers taking on the Los Angeles Rams. The game takes place at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, and is the first NFL regular season game to take place in Oceania.

Los Angeles enters the season as a heavy favorite to win this year's championship following an off-season trade for the league's top pass rusher, Myles Garrett, and the return of defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who had announced his retirement after the 2024 season. The 49ers, who split their pair of matchups with the Rams last season, could get an early jump on them in the divisional standings with a win.

Follow along for all the updates and highlights from Melbourne.
