There’s a 19-hour time difference between the West Coast (Rams, 49ers) and Melbourne, Australia.
One idea that has been floated is the Australia game being played in Week 1, potentially even before the Thursday night kickoff game. That would give the teams a bigger gap before returning to the States for Week 2. All of that, however, is still to be determined.
Just announced: The #Rams will play the #49ers in Melbourne, Australia next season for the NFL’s first-ever game in Australia.
