North Melbourne haven't finished above 17th since 2019 and they will be targeting a rise up the ladder this season.

The league announced Wednesday that it will be playing a game in 2026 in Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, a venue that holds about 100,000 spectators.

The NFL confirmed earlier reports out of Australia that the Rams will participate in the league's first game down under.

The Los Angeles Rams will be the home team for the 2026 game as part of a multi-year commitment to play in Melbourne.

The NFL's international expansion will push all the way to Australia with a regular-season game in 2026, with the Rams featured in the contest.
