ESPN's Rams coverage in L.A.: 710 AM, Monday nights, Spanish audio, and where to listen

You want to feel plugged into Rams football like you're sitting in a seat at SoFi with a headset on. Around here, that means knowing when to flip to 710 AM, when Monday Night Football hits your TV, and where to find the Spanish call if you grew up with it on in the kitchen. ESPN's Los Angeles operation touches all of that, and if you work the dials the right way, you get wall-to-wall Rams energy without leaving your neighborhood.

Start with game day itself. The Rams' flagship radio partner in English is ESPN LA 710 AM, and the station doesn't just join at kickoff. They run a two-hour pregame, carry the game broadcast with the familiar booth voices, then keep you company for a two-hour postgame. If you need to call in or fire off a text, the studio line stays the same year round at 877-710-ESPN (that is 877-710-3776), which regulars know by heart. Over the air is free, and that old-school AM signal still blankets most of the basin on a clear night.

Not an AM diehard? The Rams simulcast the game on 93.1 FM (JACK FM) in Los Angeles, which means you can get the same call in clean stereo on the Westside or through the Sepulveda Pass without fighting AM static. Spanish-language fans have their own live call on La Primera 1330 AM, which is the long-running Spanish sports signal in the market. It is the exact same action on the field, just told with a different rhythm and a different vocabulary, and for a lot of Angelenos that's the way Rams football always sounded at home.

What happens when the Rams land on ESPN's Monday Night Football

When the schedule gives the Rams a Monday spotlight, that is where ESPN's national machine meets Los Angeles. The standard kickoff is 5:15 p.m. There is usually a full block of national studio programming stacking into the game, capped by Monday Night Countdownas the two-hour pregame show. You get the main telecast on ESPN or ABC, the alternate "ManningCast" on ESPN2 for a looser vibe, and a streaming path inside the ESPN app for viewers who sign in with a TV provider or an eligible ESPN subscription tier. The actual mix shifts a little year to year, but the Monday rhythm is the same: countdown, kickoff, and then a postgame wrap.

If you like a local voice in your ear while the national TV crew is working, here is the move L.A. fans make on Mondays. Keep your TV on the ESPN or ABC feed and put a portable radio on the coffee table tuned to 710 AM for the local pregame. It starts two hours before kickoff and runs right up to the opening whistle. By the time the national TV crew is resetting the broader NFL storylines, you've already heard calls about who practiced full speed in Thousand Oaks during the week and whether the left guard's hip looked right in warmups.

Traveling or watching with a crowd? Monday Night Football's 5:15 p.m. PT start can sneak up on you in traffic, which is why a lot of fans punch up 93.1 FM in the car for the stretch run to the bar or the family room. It is the same game call you would hear on 710 AM, just on the FM dial. If you are hosting a bilingual group, La Primera on 1330 AM gives abuelos and tías the soundtrack they grew up with while the rest of the room rides the ESPN pictures on TV.

ESPN LA's everyday Rams rhythm on 710 AM

Game weeks feel different on 710 AM. Midday, the long-running local block Mason & Ireland keeps Rams talk in the rotation during 12 p.m.-3 p.m. PT, and the afternoon drive window with D'Marco & Travis typically runs 3 p.m.-6 p.m. PT during the week. Mornings on the station lean local too, with Sedano & Kap taking an early slot; in recent lineups they have aired in the 7 a.m.-9 a.m. PT window. Times do move around from season to season, but those shows remain the heartbeat of ESPN LA's day and they keep Rams topics hot whether it is free agency chatter or a Thursday injury report.

The other habit that pays off for fans is using 710's game-day shoulder programming like it is part of the broadcast. The two-hour pregame is where you hear final actives and inactives, and you get the local boots-on-the-ground feel you cannot get from a national desk. After the final snap, the two-hour postgame goes deep on who won the line of scrimmage, how the staff adjusted at halftime, and who should be getting more snaps next week. None of that costs a dime over the air, and if you want to ride along on the phone, the 877-710-ESPN line stays open.

If you live outside the core of the city and still want a local call, 710's Rams broadcast has a small web of Southern California affiliates. Inland fans around Riverside can catch the game on 590 AM, and coastal listeners in Oxnard/Ventura have 1590 AM in the mix. Those signals shift with rights from year to year, but when you are up the 101 or out the 91, it is worth knowing there are backup options beyond the Los Angeles sticks.

Spanish-language and FM options when you want it your way

Plenty of Rams households are bilingual, and ESPN's local ecosystem reflects that. If you want the game in Spanish, turn to La Primera 1330 AM, which carries Rams play-by-play with a full studio and field crew. That is over-the-air radio, so it is free. For fans who want English in FM quality, 93.1 FM (JACK FM) simulcasts the Rams broadcast, which is a simple fix if AM reception fades in your building or you are listening on a small Bluetooth speaker in the backyard.

Here is the practical difference fans in L.A. talk about. AM radio is still the most reliable choice for reaching the whole region at night, especially in the San Gabriel Valley and deep into the South Bay where mountains can mess with FM. Inside some newer apartment buildings or parking structures, 93.1 FM can sound cleaner because FM holds up better indoors. If you are parked at SoFi on a Monday after work waiting for friends, you can sit on 93.1 FM for the pregame segments and then head for your seats without missing a word.

Want to hash it out in Spanish the next morning? While 710's daily shows are in English, the play-by-play on 1330 AM lives alongside a full day of Spanish sports talk on that frequency, so the postgame debates spill over to the next day's dial too. That is part of what makes L.A. sports radio unique: your street, your language, your way of listening.

How the L.A. ESPN footprint meets the Rams in real life

The local TV studio side of ESPN has spent years operating out of the complex at L.A. LIVE downtown. In 2026, ESPN started consolidating West Coast production in Hollywood Park in Inglewood, the same district where SoFi Stadium sits. For Rams fans, that shift matters because when the network builds out Monday shows or books bigger game-week segments, the people and gear are now neighbors to the team. It is easier to get a coach over for a hit at lunchtime when the studio is across the parking lot, not across town.

Summer is a different kind of local connection. The Rams now hold training camp at Loyola Marymount University, and the team opens several practices each summer to the public on campus. Tickets are free but required, capacity is capped, and gates open about one hour before practice. If you drive, on-site fan parking in Lot A costs $20 per car and the campus address for rideshare is 1 LMU Drive, Los Angeles. The camp uses the NFL's Clear Bag Policy and bleacher seating is first come, first served, so bring a cap and sunscreen if you want a prime view. That is a lot of L.A.-specific logistics wrapped around football, and ESPN LA weaves it into show rundowns so listeners know exactly how to plan a visit.

When the season is rolling, 710's hosts also react in real time to what happens at practice and at the facility in Thousand Oaks. That can be a coordinator quote that lands at 1:10 p.m., a walkthrough tweak that a beat reporter spots, or a player drop-in after a community event on Crenshaw. The point is simple. In this town, ESPN's radio side is built to match the way Angelenos actually consume Rams news - a commute here, a school pick-up there, and a two-hour pregame block that lives on your dash as naturally as the Waze route.

Which ESPN option should you use, and when?

Every L.A. fan has their own setup. Here is the quick head-to-head so you can pick the feed that fits your night.

If you like the local flavor that is unique to this city, the combo that never fails is 710 AM for the pregame and postgame, with ESPN or ABC on TV for the middle. When you need Spanish, 1330 AM is the cleanest path, and if your apartment kills AM reception, 93.1 FM is the easy backup that keeps you with the same L.A. crew.

Key things to know before you plan your next listen

• Kickoff time: when the Rams land on Monday Night Football, plan for a 5:15 p.m. PT start. ESPN typically stacks a two-hour Countdown show in front of it.
• Radio windows:710 AM runs a two-hour pregame, the game, and a two-hour postgame with open phones at 877-710-ESPN. That is free over the air across Los Angeles.
• Bilingual listening: the Spanish call is on La Primera 1330 AM every game. If AM gets fuzzy in your building, use the 93.1 FM simulcast for the English feed.
• Weekday shows: Rams talk lives in Mason & Ireland (12-3 p.m.), D'Marco & Travis (3-6 p.m.), and Sedano & Kap (7-9 a.m.). Times can shift, but those are the familiar slots this market recognizes.
• Training camp is local and accessible: LMU hosts open practices with free tickets and $20 on-site parking in Lot A; gates open about one hour before practice, clear bags only, and the campus rideshare address is 1 LMU Drive.
• Studios are closer to the action: ESPN's West Coast production is consolidating at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, which makes getting Rams stories and guests onto ESPN platforms simpler on game weeks.

Reader Q&A

Can I stream the 710 AM game call on my phone?

Plan on using over-the-air radio for the live game itself: 710 AM in English, 93.1 FM as the English simulcast, and 1330 AM in Spanish. Pre- and postgame shows are widely available on ESPN LA's digital platforms, while Monday Night Football video streams live inside the ESPN app for viewers who sign in with a TV provider or an eligible ESPN subscription.

What time should I tune in on a Monday?

For a Monday Night Football game, treat 5:15 p.m. PT as kickoff. Locally, 710 AM starts its two-hour pregame well before that, so you can get the L.A.-centric buildup, then flip your focus to the ESPN or ABC TV feed at kickoff, and circle back to 710 AM for the two-hour postgame.

Where does ESPN actually broadcast from in L.A. these days?

The network is consolidating West Coast studio operations at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, the same development where SoFi Stadium lives. For Rams fans, that makes it easier for ESPN shows to integrate team voices and live hits on game weeks without the downtown commute.

Any quick tips for visiting Rams training camp and still keeping ESPN in the loop?

Open practices at Loyola Marymount University use free tickets with limited capacity, $20 parking in Lot A, and gates open about one hour before practice. If you like having the radio vibe while you wait in the bleachers, bring a small AM/FM radio so you can ride 710 AM's updates while you watch.

When you piece it all together, the choice is simple. Use 710 AM for the local shoulder shows and postgame therapy, flip to the national ESPN or ABC pictures at kickoff, and lean on 93.1 FM or 1330 AM based on what your room and your family prefer. That is the L.A. way to follow the Rams through the season.
