The famous American football team Los Angeles Rams is teaming up with anime franchise One Piece to host a special event on December 3, 2023 during the match against Cleveland Browns.
The event is scheduled to take place against Cleveland at SoFi Stadium from 1:25 pm to 4:30 pm (PST). Some One Piece characters will appear on LED light strips in the stadium, on TV screens and digital signs. On the iconic 360° double-sided Infinity Screen installed in the center of the stadium, a unique and special video introducing the world of One Piece will be shown during the football match.
A limited edition Los Angeles Rams and One Piece Sports Towel will be given to customers for free while supplies last. Additionally, anime-branded clear bags will be given away to the first 10,000 attendees at the game.

The official website of the Los Angeles Rams will also feature special One Piece banners featuring the anime’s logo leading up to the collaboration. Fans can also visit the special English-only One Piece website by clicking on the banner.
This will be the first time Japanese anime characters have appeared at an official Rams game and will be one of the largest scale collaboration events in franchise history. The collaboration comes after the anime took over a billboard in New York’s Times Square in October 2022.
