What channel is Panthers-Rams NFC Wild Card game tonight? Time, playoff TV schedule, watch, stream
The Los Angeles Rams will face the Carolina Panthers in an NFC Wild Card playoff game. The game is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET. Viewers can watch the game live on FOX or stream it on NFL+.
The conclusion of the regular season means that the Panthers now know the opponents they’ll play next year, and whether they’ll play those opponents at home or on the road. The franchise also has a good idea of where it will pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, though that won’t be officially set in stone until after Carolina’s season concludes.
As announced on Sunday night, the Panthers will host the Los Angeles Rams for their wild-card weekend matchup at 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Jan. 10. The game will be broadcast by FOX.
