The franchise was established in 1936 as the Cleveland Rams in Cleveland, Ohio. The team won the 1945 NFL Championship before relocating to Los Angeles in 1946, paving the way for Paul Brown's Cleveland Browns of the All-America Football Conference. The Rams became the only NFL championship-winning team to play in a different city the following season. The team played its home games at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum until 1980, when they moved to a renovated Anaheim Stadium in Orange County, California. The Rams made their first Super Bowl appearance at the end of the 1979 NFL season but lost Super Bowl XIV to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31–19.
After the 1994 NFL season, the Rams left Southern California and relocated to St. Louis, Missouri, becoming the St. Louis Rams. Five seasons later, they won Super Bowl XXXIV, defeating the Tennessee Titans 23–16. The team then lost Super Bowl XXXVI to the New England Patriots, 20–17. Following the 2015 NFL season, the Rams sought and received approval from the other team owners to return to Los Angeles for the 2016 NFL season. The Rams appeared in Super Bowl LIII but were defeated by the Patriots, 13–3. Three years later, the Rams won Super Bowl LVI, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 23–20, and became the second NFL team to win the Super Bowl in its home stadium.
The Rams are the only NFL franchise to win championships while representing three different cities: Cleveland in 1945, Los Angeles in 1951 and 2021, and St. Louis in 1999.
