In response to the wildfires that are ongoing around the Los Angeles area, Monday's playoff matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams is being moved to Arizona, the league announced in a statement on Thursday evening.

The NBA and NFL are monitoring several massive wildfires burning across the greater Los Angeles area and the potential impact it could have on games this week in Southern California.

Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua shared his gratitude for emergency workers Wednesday amid the ongoing wildfires in LA. “Thank you to all of the first responders! God bless the families impacted!” Nacua, a BYU football product, wrote on X.

On Thursday, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford addressed the wildfires directly in a press conference amid the NFL's suggestion that the game could be relocated to Glendale, Ariz.

"Obviously the game is secondary to that and to many things in life. Perspective is important," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of the fires.

As wildfires spread throughout Los Angeles County, a number of sporting events have been canceled, postponed or otherwise impacted in the area.

The Los Angeles Rams and Minnesota Vikings are set to play in the NFL Wild Card round on Monday, January 13, but deadly wildfires in California might have an impact on the game.

The Palisades is home to the Riviera Country Club, home of the tour’s Genesis Invitational (formerly known as the Los Angeles Open), which Tiger Woods now hosts. The course and club are reportedly fine, although the neighborhood surrounding the property has been affected. The event is scheduled for Feb. 13-16.

In 2025, the Patriots are annual NFL losers. This makes their offseason far more important than the regular season.

Massive wildfires that engulfed whole neighborhoods and displaced thousands in Los Angeles have killed at least 10 people, authorities said, as California’s National Guard soldiers readied to hit the streets to help quell disorder.
