Descriptiontext

The Los Angeles Rams are a privately owned professional American football franchise competing in the National Football League (NFL), headquartered and playing home games at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The franchise was originally founded in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams, relocated to Los Angeles in 1946, moved to St. Louis in 1995, and returned to Los Angeles in 2016, where it currently operates under the ownership of Stan Kroenke through Kroenke Sports & Entertainment. The team's core product is professional football entertainment — live regular-season and playoff home games plus nationally televised away games — supported by an integrated digital fan engagement ecosystem that includes the official therams.com website, iOS and Android mobile applications, three podcast series, and the "Behind The Grind" documentary series.

Revenue is generated across multiple consumer-facing streams: ticket sales (season tickets, single-game tickets, and suite rentals distributed via Ticketmaster), merchandise sales through the Rams Shop e-commerce storefront, and media/broadcasting revenue shared via league-level NFL rights and NFL+ streaming subscriptions. Customer segments are entirely consumer (B2C) — general NFL fans, season ticket holders, suite buyers, and merchandise purchasers — with adjacent community programming including the Rams Football Academy (youth development), WalkUnitedLA (United Way fundraiser), cheerleader appearances, and Pride outreach. There is no enterprise software, SaaS, or technology product layer; the franchise operates a sports-and-entertainment business model with a digital marketing and content overlay.

Following the 2022 Super Bowl LVI championship and aggressive 2026 offseason roster investment, the franchise has prioritized win-now talent acquisition and brand-building content production. Key commercial relationships include a co-tenancy arrangement with the LA Chargers at SoFi Stadium, a presenting sponsorship with CommunityAmerica Credit Union for the 2026 training camp at Loyola Marymount University, a United Way community partnership, and a Cedars-Sinai presenting partnership for documentary content.
