Who the referees are for the Rams-Panthers 2026 Wild Card game

Sports news

The 2026 NFL Playoffs kick off on Saturday when the Carolina Panthers host the Los Angeles Rams. The game gets underway at 4:30 p.m. ET and Clete Blakeman will be the referee leading the officiating crew at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.

The Panthers get to host the game as winners of the NFC South with the No. 4 seed. It wasn’t pretty and their 8-9 record means they join the short list of teams that have reached the playoffs with a losing record. They lost to the Bucs on the final Saturday of the season, but in spite of a losing their final two games, they managed to clinch the division thanks to the Falcons beating the Saints.

They face a Rams squad that came up with the short end of the stick in a difficult NFC West. The Rams finished 12-5, which was tied for the second best record in the conference. However, the Seahawks finished 13-4 and so LA has to go on the road to open the playoffs as the No. 5 seed. Not surprisingly, the Rams are sizable favorites, with FanDuel installing them at -10.5.

Carolina will need a lot to go their way if they want to spring the home upset in the playoff opener. That might include some hometown cooking from the officials. NFL referees are expected to be neutral at all times, but home crowds can sometimes influence calls.

This is Blakeman’s 16th playoff assignment. His most notable assignment was lead referee at Super Bowl 50. Coincidentally enough, that game featured the Cam Newton-led Panthers lose 24-10 to Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

Here’s a look at the full crew for Saturday’s Rams-Panthers game.

I give our guys a lot of credit because there’s a lot of frustration and they played through it.” McLean is coming off the worst start of his young career last Tuesday, when he gave up nine runs (six earned) over 5 2/3 innings as the Mets fell to the Nationals, 9-6.

The last time the New York Mets were at Citi Field, they were riding a much-needed wave of momentum.

When the Mets return home this week, they’ll once again be tasked with trying to save a season in danger of spiraling out of control.

The Mets will look to snap their latest skid Monday afternoon when they host the Cincinnati Reds in the opener of a three-game series.

Right-hander Nolan McLean (2-3, 3.57 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (0-1. 7.20).

Mets closer Devin Williams gave up a walk-off grand slam to Heriberto Hernandez in the ninth inning Sunday afternoon as the Miami Marlins completed a three-game sweep of New York with a 4-0 win.

Wembanyama was already dominating the Thunder when he got the ball with the clock ticking away at the end of the first half. The 7’5 French superhuman pulled up from the halfcourt logo at the buzzer and swished the shot to give the Spurs all the momentum (and a 12-point) heading into halftime. Watch the shot here:

Wembanyama scored 22 points in the first half, and the Spurs were +16 in his 18 minutes. The Thunder playing without their second and third best creators in Game 4 with Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell both out with injury, and it sure feels like that’s too much to overcome against Wembanyama with his back against the wall.

The 7’5 guy was already dominating at the rim on both ends. Hitting halfcourt shots with ease is just unfair. It’s the longest shot of his career, but it’s hard to be surprised at this point.

The Spurs entered the Sunday night showdown trailing 2-1 in the series, and they needed a big game from superstar center Victor Wembanyama if they wanted to even it before going back to OKC.
