In a surprising announcement on December 12, 2025, FOX confirmed a last-minute schedule adjustment for the highly anticipated Week 14 matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Rams. Fans in the Midwest and West Coast, especially those planning their Sunday viewing, need to update their plans right away to catch this blockbuster rematch.
The game, taking place at the state-of-the-art SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, was originally scheduled in a standard late-afternoon slot. However, FOX opted for a strategic shift in the broadcast window to avoid conflicting with another major national sports event, prioritizing maximum audience reach and top-tier production values. This move elevates the game to a more prominent spot, ensuring it receives the spotlight it deserves amid a packed NFL weekend.
The rescheduled kickoff is now set for Sunday, December 14, 2025, at 4:25 p.m. ET (1:25 p.m. PT local time), though fans should double-check local listings for any final tweaks. This adjustment secures nationwide coverage on FOX, broadcasting to millions in primary markets across Michigan, California, and beyond, including key areas in the Great Lakes region and Pacific Southwest.
Streaming remains convenient and accessible, with live options on the FOX Sports app, FOXSports.com, and NFL+ for mobile viewers. Services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and other FOX carriers will also stream the game without regional blackouts in home markets, delivering crystal-clear action straight to devices everywhere.
This clash carries extra weight as a rematch of recent playoff battles, with revenge narratives swirling. The Lions (8-5), fresh off a high-scoring Thursday night win over the Cowboys to open Week 14, bring their explosive offense led by quarterback Jared Goff‘s precise passing and pinpoint accuracy. Goff, facing his former team, has been slinging it with confidence, connecting on deep balls to wideouts like Amon-Ra St. Brown. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs adds explosive runs and versatility out of the backfield, while David Montgomery provides tough yards. Detroit’s grit under head coach Dan Campbell has them firmly in the NFC playoff hunt.
On the other side, the Rams (10-3) boast a balanced attack anchored by veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford‘s cannon arm and playoff pedigree—also facing his old squad. Stafford’s experience shines in big moments, feeding stars like Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. The Rams’ home-field energy at SoFi, with its roaring crowd and perfect conditions, could tilt the scales, especially with a defense capable of disrupting Goff’s rhythm.
This marks another chapter in the heated rivalry sparked by the 2021 blockbuster trade swapping Goff and Stafford. The teams last met in the playoffs, where emotions ran high, and expect similar intensity here with postseason seeding on the line. For Lions fans (#OnePride), it’s a chance to prove their resurgence is real. Rams supporters (#RamsHouse) see it as a statement win to solidify NFC West dominance.
Injury notes: Both teams are monitoring key players, but no major absences are expected to derail the showdown. Betting odds favor the Rams slightly at home, with a tight spread reflecting the competitiveness.
