LA Rams Launch 2025 Campaign: New Changes and Championship Dreams at SoFi Stadium
A New Chapter Begins
The Los Angeles Rams are entering their 88th NFL season, their 59th in the Greater Los Angeles Area, and their sixth at SoFi Stadium under head coach Sean McVay. The team begins their 2025 campaign with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations, backed by a young, highly talented defense and a still-potent offense.
Notable Changes and Developments
Coming off consecutive 10-7 seasons as NFC West Division champions, the Rams face a significant transition with the departure of longtime wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who was released during the offseason. The coaching staff has seen several changes, including Nick Caley’s departure to the Texans, Drew Wilkins joining as pass rush coordinator from the Giants, and Alex Van Pelt’s addition as senior offensive assistant.
Infrastructure and Community Initiatives
The franchise has announced exciting plans for the Kroenke Warner Center complex in Woodland Hills, to be renamed Rams Village at Warner Center. This 100-acre development will include a permanent practice facility, team headquarters, and a 52-acre mixed-use neighborhood. The team also demonstrated community engagement by holding part of their minicamp in Wailuku, Hawaii, where they conducted football clinics and participated in community service projects in Lahaina, supporting areas affected by the 2023 wildfires.
Season Outlook and Schedule Highlights
The 2025 schedule presents significant challenges, with matchups against five playoff teams from last season. Key home games include a Thursday Night Football clash with the 49ers in Week 5 and a Sunday Night Football showdown against the Buccaneers in Week 12, followed by a crucial match against the reigning NFC North champion Lions in Week 15. The team has also unveiled their uniform schedule, featuring seven games in their primary royal blue, six in white, three in bone, and a special new Nike/NFL Rivalries ‘Midnight Mode’ alternate uniform for their game against Seattle.
