The 2026 NFL season is officially on the calendar, and the slate the league unveiled Thursday night might be the most ambitious in its history.
The Super Bowl LX rematch kicks the year off in Seattle on a Wednesday night, the first regular-season game ever played in Australia goes down 24 hours later, John Harbaugh makes his Giants debut against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, the brand-new Highmark Stadium opens on Thursday Night Football in Buffalo, the league debuts the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers visiting Matthew Stafford and the Rams, and a Christmas Day tripleheader stacks three playoff rematches on a Friday.
Whether you’re planning your Sundays around 9:30 a.m. London kicks, tracking your team’s bye week, or running a season-long pick’em with your group chat, we’ve got exactly what you need.

What to Watch For in 2026
The international slate is the headline. The NFL is playing a record nine games across four continents, seven countries, and eight stadiums in 2026. Beyond the Rams-49ers opener in Melbourne on Sept. 10, the Ravens and Cowboys play the league’s first game in Rio de Janeiro in Week 3, the Jaguars run their annual London double-dip in Weeks 5 and 6 (against the Eagles at Tottenham, then the Texans at Wembley), the Colts and Commanders open the London slate in Week 4, and Steelers-Saints headlines the NFL’s first-ever game in France in Week 7.
Bengals-Falcons hits Madrid in Week 9, Patriots-Lions plays Munich in Week 10, and Vikings-49ers closes the global tour in Mexico City in Week 11.
The holiday schedule keeps expanding. Wednesday, Nov. 25 marks the inaugural Thanksgiving Eve game on Netflix with Packers at Rams. Thanksgiving Day rolls out three matchups: Bears at Lions at 1 p.m. ET, Eagles at Cowboys in the renewed rivalry slot at 4:30, and Chiefs at Bills in the nightcap.

Black Friday gives us Broncos at Steelers. Christmas Day falls on a Friday and serves up Packers at Bears, Bills at Broncos in a rematch of last January’s controversial divisional-round thriller, and a Seahawks-Rams nightcap that re-runs the NFC Championship. Texans-Eagles plays Christmas Eve, and Ravens at Bengals closes the calendar year on New Year’s Eve.
A few subplots to file away. Week 15 features a Saturday doubleheader in mid-December with Seahawks at Eagles and Bears at Bills. The Seahawks will play six primetime games, their most since 2000, and meet the Rams twice in the final three weeks.
The Patriots-Chiefs Week 15 matchup sets up Drake Maye against Patrick Mahomes for the first time. And John Harbaugh’s debut on the Giants sideline on opening Sunday night, with Jaxson Dart entering year two under center, gets the brightest possible spotlight.
