The Los Angeles Rams will be the home team when they face the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football from Mexico City on November 19, the NFL has announced.

The announcement came ahead of the release of the full 2018 regular-season schedule on Thursday.

The Rams-Chiefs game at Estadio Azteca will be the league's second Monday night contest in Mexico City. The Raiders and Houston Texans met there in 2016, with Oakland winning 27-20.

For the Chiefs, it will be the franchise's first trip to Mexico since a preseason contest in Monterrey in 1996.

The Rams have never played in Mexico, which has played host to 10 NFL games.
