2025 Los Angeles Rams season
The 2025 season will be the Los Angeles Rams' 88th in the National Football League (NFL), their 89th overall, 59th in the Greater Los Angeles Area, sixth playing their home games at SoFi Stadium and ninth under head coach Sean McVay. The Rams will attempt to repeat as NFC West Division champions as well as improve on the 10–7 record they have achieved the previous two seasons. This will be the first season since 2016 not to feature longtime wide receiver Cooper Kupp, as he was released during the offseason and acquired by the Seattle Seahawks.

Team headquarters/practice training facility
In April 2025, the Rams franchise announced detailed plans for the development of the Kroenke Warner Center complex in Woodland Hills, to be re-christened as Rams Village at Warner Center. The plans to develop the 100-acre complex include a permanent practice and training facility to replace the temporary one currently in use since 2024 and a new team headquarters along with a 52-acre neighborhood for mixed use development.[7] To be designed by the renowned Gensler global design and architecture firm, development of Rams Village at Warner Center is expected to begin no earlier than 2027 with project completion estimated for 2037.[8]
