The Los Angeles Rams will kick off the 2026 preseason with a broadcast crew that features familiar personalities who will bring the game to fans across Southern California. This season, Rams preseason games will be broadcast locally on CBS LA. In addition, ESPNLA 710 AM and La Primera 1330 AM will once again bring Rams fans the full season (preseason and regular season) of games.
J.B. Long will be joined in the booth by former Rams offensive lineman Rob Havenstein and The Athletic's Jordan Rodrigue. CBS LA anchor/host Darren Haynes provide insight from the sidelines.
"I am thrilled for this opportunity to partner with J.B. and Rob and to share more stories about the team I have covered for years," said Rodrigue. "It's an honor to be involved in a production I have always greatly admired. Preseason football is all about possibility, and I am humbled and excited to be a part of it!"
"I've spent my whole 11-year career with the Rams organization. I am excited to step into a new role in the broadcast booth covering the organization that has been so good to me," said Havenstein. "This opportunity allows me to stay close to the game from the sidelines and I'm grateful to still be a part of the Rams."
Additionally for each preseason game, Rams Head Coach Sean McVay will join the broadcast via the "Coach Cam" to break down a series live during the game.
The Rams preseason begins on Saturday, August 15, when they travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium (1:00 p.m. PT). The Rams will then host the New Orleans Saints at SoFi Stadium for their second preseason contest (Saturday, August 22, 1:00 p.m. PT), before wrapping up the preseason slate against the Chargers (Thursday, August 27, 7:00 p.m. PT).
As the Rams' official preseason television partner, CBS LA will provide the Los Angeles market with telecasts of all Rams preseason games. CBS LA's pregame show will air a half-hour before each preseason game. CBS LA's sports anchor Jim Hill will be joined by Rams Legend Jim Everett for pregame coverage throughout the preseason. The pregame show will provide an inside look into the upcoming games complete with player profiles, live interviews from the booth and sideline updates from Haynes.
