The Los Angeles Rams have enjoyed a surge of support since their move back to Southern California. One year after the team arrived back, they hired Sean McVay, and the rest is history, with the Rams winning Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium.
Even with the Las Vegas Raiders having an established fan base within the city, and the pull from the Los Angeles Chargers, the Rams are still growing significantly. According to Michael Mulvihill, who provides insights and analytics for Fox, the Rams are the fastest-growing team in local ratings this year.
Fastest growing NFL team in local ratings this year might surprise you. It’s the RAMS in an absolute runaway. Rams viewership in Los Angeles is up an incredible +86% so far this season. Raiders are a very
distant second at +34%.

The hype is a byproduct of the attention the team received last season, due to their prolific offense led by MVP Matthew Stafford, along with their busy offseason that saw the additions of Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson, and Myles Garrett. To add to the storylines, NFL legend Aaron Donald also ended his two-year retirement.
The Rams take on the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday, before enjoying a quick bye. They'll take on the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Eve, shortening their midseason break, as they'll be playing in a prime-time game in front of the entire country.
