Amidst the harrowing scenes of the California wildfires, the Los Angeles Rams travel to Arizona on Monday night to 'host' the 14-3 Minnesota Vikings.
Originally scheduled to play at LA's SoFi Stadium, the NFL has moved the game due to the ongoing situation in the Los Angeles area. Nevertheless, the NFL expects 35,000 Rams fans to make the trip and create a 'home' atmosphere.
A 10-7 record was enough for LA to win the NFC West division. Sean McVay's team qualified as the fourth seed, the same as their Super Bowl-winning campaign in 2021-22.
With Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford as the quarterback, no one can ever discount the Rams. Moreover, LA should be fresh, having rested everyone in Week 18.
That may not be true for the Vikings. Minnesota brutally lost 31-9 in Week 18. That defeat saw Kevin O'Connell's team lose the NFC North title and the conference top seed.
After a dream season, the Vikings must pick themselves up and defeat a team that beat them in the regular season.
We have all the information on how to watch Vikings vs Rams below, and all of this season's football with our 2024/25 NFL live streams guide. Plus, get ready for the Championship game by reading up on how to watch the Super Bowl 2025.

How to watch Vikings vs Rams from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.
We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.K. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select United States from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ABC or a service listed below and watch the Vikings vs Rams live stream.
