The Los Angeles Rams land in Melbourne about 28 hours before kickoff as they prepare for their season opener against the San Francisco 49ers. Yahoo Sports reports the team arrives at 7 a.m. local time.

Multiple outlets describe the timing as part of the Rams’ approach to travel and adjustment for playing in Australia. The Los Angeles Times and Yahoo Sports both say the Rams view their schedule as a key part of being ready to compete, describing the plan in terms of arriving the day before the game.

Across the reports, the central facts align: the Rams are in Melbourne ahead of their matchup, and the early arrival is intended to support their preparation. The coverage differs mainly in phrasing—some focus on the exact arrival time, while others emphasize the team’s confidence in the strategy.
