The NFL waited until the end of Sunday Night Football to announce the Week 18 schedule and finally set the dates and times for the final 16 games of the regular season. The Los Angeles Rams host the Seattle Seahawks in the season finale, a game that is virtually meaningless for the Rams after they were crowned NFC West champions.

The league placed the Rams-Seahawks in the late afternoon slot on Sunday, with kickoff scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX. Chiefs-Broncos, Chargers-Raiders, Dolphins-Jets and 49ers-Cardinals are the other four games in that time slot on Sunday.

After Saturday night’s game, the Rams have an extra day of rest before playing in Week 18, and it’s entirely possible they use all of their best players against the Seahawks to rest them for the playoffs and avoid potential injuries.

Below is the complete schedule for Week 18, which begins Saturday afternoon and ends with Vikings-Lions on Sunday night.

The FULL Schedule for Week 18:

Saturday:
– 4:30 p.m. ET: Browns-Ravens
