The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers face off in Week 18. Here's how to watch the game live.

It's Week 18 of the NFL regular season and today, the San Francisco 49ers are set to take on the Los Angeles Rams at Levi's Stadium to close out their regular season slate. Both the Rams and 49ers have clinched the playoffs entering the final week of the season. The 49ers have already secured the number one seed in the NFC. On the other hand, if the Rams lose, they will fall to the seventh seed.

Today's renewal of the NFC West rivalry will have a different look though. Instead of San Francisco's Brock Purdy taking on Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, both teams will have backup quarterbacks playing in a matchup of Sam Darnold vs. Carson Wentz.

Here is everything to know about how to watch the Los Angeles Rams vs. San Francisco 49ers live at home.
