The wait is finally over.
The NFL is slowly pulling back the curtain back on the 2026 regular season schedule, and the New York Post has you covered with every game.
We already know the defending champ Seahawks start the season on a Wednesday night (Sept. 9) in what is believed to be a rematch with the Patriots.
There will be a record nine international games are on the docket, including debuts in Melbourne, Paris, and Rio de Janeiro.
The Giants open at home against the rival Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, while the Bills officially christen the new Highmark Stadium in Week 2.

The Eagles’ submission
Unlike some of the bigger productions of this NFL schedule release cycle, the Eagles kept things simple. The likes of Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts and Jordan Mailata sat around a table and discussed the schedule, which includes home matchups against the Rams and Seahawks. It’s back to business for Philly.
49ers 2026-27 schedule release: Toughest matchups, bye week, prediction
If the 49ers can stay relatively healthy, it’s setting up for a big season in the Bay Area.
The NFL agrees, with the 49ers being featured five times in prime time during the 2026 season, including matchups against the Rams in Australia to kick off the season, and games against the Commanders on “Monday Night Football,” the Vikings on “Sunday Night Football” in Mexico City, a Thursday night matchup against the Chargers and a Sunday night home game against the Eagles in Week 17.

This is Falcons Football
The Falcons released a brilliant riff on the old “this is ESPN” videos, complete with Bijan Robinson in the team’s office building and Matt “Matty Ice” Ryan, well, struggling to use an ice machine.

The ignominious five
Only five teams have zero primetime games next season. The Jets, as we mentioned earlier, are one. The others are the rebuilding Titans, Dolphins, Cardinals and Raiders – the latter of which could provide some box office value with Fernando Mendoza and Ashton Jeanty.
A BOLD creative choice from the Broncos
The Chiefs might have some frontrunners in their fanbase, but the Broncos took that trope to another level with a “To Catch a Predator” spinoff in their schedule release video.
Aptly titled “To Catch a Bandwagon Fan”, the segment sees a fan interrogated for also being a Yankees and Lakers fan. We’ll just let you watch.
One of the best parts about the Broncos’ schedule release video was them interrogating a Chiefs fan for being a bandwagon fan (more than 70% of them are)pic.twitter.com/bENBezjbLo

A new look for Trevor
The Jaguars announced their new schedule with… Trevor Lawrence getting a haircut. The Jacksonville passer has shed his trademark locks – unless the Jags are playing a trick on us.
Did we just become best friends?
While only one of Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins can start the season under center, they seem to be getting along just fine. The Raiders set the passers up in a Step Brothers-style video, and they absolutely nailed their acting assignments.

Rams 2026-27 schedule release: Toughest matchups, bye week, prediction
Let’s just say the Rams got no favors from the league office, which feels determined to showcase one of the NFL’s headliner franchises. It’s certainly a compliment, but it presents navigational challenges for coach Sean McVay and the Rams’ front office.
They play nine teams that reached the playoffs last year, including their season opener against the 49ers in Melbourne, Australia. They will play a minimum of seven prime-time games and are scheduled to play on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and potentially Saturday.

A Chiefs video led by Rob Riggle
While the Chiefs sweat out the return of Patrick Mahomes, they lightened the mood a bit with a QVC-themed video featuring actor Rob Riggle – and a cameo from Donna Kelce.
Circle your calendars for Week 7 at Seahawks and Week 12 at the Bills.
An explosive video (literally) from the Panthers
We wrote before about how the Jets had a rather tame, painting-centric schedule release video. Carolina went in a different direction. Following their first playoff appearance since 2017, Carolina are seemingly feeling brash, as they announced their scheduling by blowing up a mascot/item representing each of their opponents. Bulletin board material, surely.
A snub for the Jets…
The Jets’ 2026 schedule is here, and it comes with the usual slate of AFC East rivals and out-of-conference opponents, but it does have one notable omission.
Gang Green does not have a single primetime game this season, with all their contests starting in the 1 p.m. time slot, with two exceptions — two 4:05 p.m. starts in Week 11 (Chargers) and Week 15 (Cardinals), both games on the West Coast.
