The 49ers pay a visit to their second home this afternoon to face the Rams, who should be well-rested after a bye. Kyle Shanahan's men have won two straight regular season games at SoFi Stadium but, as Sean McVay would tell you, the Rams turned up when it mattered most, in last season's playoffs, en route to winning the Super Bowl. There's a fair amount of animosity between these California rivals and temperatures are soaring in Inglewood, so read on as we explain how to watch a 49ers vs Rams live stream online from anywhere.

Both of these franchises are convinced that they should be dominating the NFC West, but seven weeks into the season it's safe to say Geno Smith and the Seahawks have put both Jimmy Garoppolo and Matt Stafford to shame.
While Stafford can justifiably point towards injuries, a post-Super Bowl hangover and a badly malfunctioning O-line, Jimmy G has no such excuses. His offensive targets are the envy of the league, and a recent blip aside, the San Fran defense has been outstanding.
If Garoppolo's arm isn't up to the task, there's always Christian McCaffrey. The Niners' new recruit alternated between smashing through the Rams' defense like a cannonball and slicing it like a hot knife through butter when he faced them as a Panther a fortnight ago, racking up 69 rushing yards and 89 receiving yards despite not seeing too much of the ball.
After a full week of training, is Shanahan ready to unleash him? Follow our guide on how to watch a 49ers vs Rams live stream wherever you are.
