The Cleveland Browns host the L.A. Rams on Saturday, August 23, at 1 p.m. ET. The L.A. Rams vs. Cleveland Browns game will air on the NFL Network and locally on KABC in Los Angeles. The game will be available to stream for out-of-market viewers on NFL+.

Saturday marks the end of the 2025 NFL preseason. Here's how to watch all 10 tuneup games, if you feel so inclined.

Sometimes, an NFL season is lost before it even begins. Certain squads simply aren't built to be competitive against the league's best. The worst possible place an organization can find itself is stuck in mediocrity without a franchise quarterback.

To finish off the preseason on Saturday, the Rams will be in a uniform combination that they've worn just 4 times since 2021.

Friday night featured several starting offenses playing extended time, including Titans rookie QB and No. 1 pick Cam Ward, who led a long touchdown drive in one of his two series against the Vikings. He completed 3-of-4 passes for 36 yards in his finale preseason tune-up before the games really count in September.

Bleacher Report's Alex Kay wrote that the Rams could make a hypothetical trade with the Miami Dolphins where they move tight end Tyler Higbee for 2026 sixth-round pick. It's not much, but Higbee is in the final year of his deal and just turned 32. A late-round pick is a nice small piece for a player who isn't in their long-term plans.
