NFL reveals date, time for 49ers-Rams Week 18 matchup

The time and date of the 49ers' Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams officially has been set.

San Francisco (12-4) will face playoff-bound LA (9-7) at 1:25 p.m. PT on Sunday, Jan. 7, at Levi's Stadium.

The NFL officially announced the full Week 18 schedule Sunday night.

With the 49ers officially securing the NFC's No. 1 playoff seed Sunday after a 27-10 win over the Washington Commanders and a Philadelphia Eagles loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the Week 18 matchup with the Rams means a lot less than it could have.

It remains to be seen which 49ers starters will rest against the Rams, but with the first-round playoff bye secured, most of San Francisco's starters are unlikely to play in the regular-season finale.

The Rams punched their playoff ticket Sunday with a 26-25 win over the New York Giants and the Seattle Seahawks' 30-23 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and either will be the NFC's No. 6 or No. 7 seed. LA likely will play most if not all of its starters against San Francisco in an effort to improve its seeding.
