While the full 2026 NFL schedule won’t officially be released until Thursday night, leaks and announcements are already giving fans an early look at key matchups as they begin planning their falls.
The 2026 campaign is set to kick off with the Seattle Seahawks hosting the season opener on Wednesday, Sept. 9, marking just the second time in 75 years the NFL has opened its season on a Wednesday. That will be followed by the league’s first-ever game in Australia, with the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers facing off in Melbourne on Thursday night (Friday morning local time).
Other declared Week 1 highlights include the New York Giants hosting the Dallas Cowboys on “Sunday Night Football” and the Kansas City Chiefs welcoming the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football.”
Below, you’ll find team-by-team schedule updates as leaks emerge, with full weekly schedules, dates, times and TV/streaming information added as the complete slate becomes official.
