The 2020 season was the Los Angeles Rams' 83rd season in the National Football League (NFL), their 84th overall, their 54th in the Greater Los Angeles Area, and their fourth under head coach Sean McVay. It also marked the team's first season playing their home games at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, which the team shares with the Los Angeles Chargers. This was the first season in which the Rams would share the same venue as the Chargers since 1960. Due to public health restrictions put in place due to the coronavirus pandemic, all home games (and most road games) were played without fans in attendance. The Rams improved on their 9–7 season from the previous year after a Week 17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, returning to the playoffs after missing out the previous season.
The Rams' strong defense was a key reason to their success; the team finished at the top of the league in most defensive statistics, such as total defense (281.9 yards per game), passing defense (190.7 yards per game), scoring defense (18.5 points per game), and also fared well in others, ranking third in run defense (91.3 yards per game), second in sacks (53), and 10th in takeaways (22, with 14 interceptions and 8 fumble recoveries).
In the Wild Card round, the Rams upset the rival Seattle Seahawks 30–20, advancing to the Divisional round, but lost to the top-seeded Green Bay Packers by a score of 32–18.
