The home and away 2026 NFL opponents have been determined for all 32 teams following the completion of the 2025 regular-season.
Future NFL opponents are determined by a league rotation each year. The final three opponents are based on the league standings at the end of the season.
The complete NFL schedule for 2026 will likely be released in early-to-mid May following the NFL Draft in late April. The 2026 season is tentatively scheduled to kick off on Thursday, Sept. 10 and conclude with Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027.
The NFL Playoff Schedule for the current season kicks off on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, at 4:30pm ET with the Carolina Panthers hosting the Los Angeles Rams in a Wild Card Round matchup.

Z-Man Sorry to criticize you again your division format in NFL is too darn impossible
99.9% of NFL fans including me are satisfied with current NFL conference & division format & it's too bad you are NEVER satisfied of anything that happening in Football & pardon me for being unhappy with it.
As a Bears fan I am happy with Lions in NFC North.
As a Eagles fan I am happy with Cowboys & Giants in NFC East.
As a Bills fan I am happy with Dolphins in AFC East.
Furthermore Z-Man You need to appreciate Football more instead of Moaning & Groaning about it.
Dan your a fan of so many teams in both pro and college football, what do you do when your favorite teams play each other? Find a big bottle of lotion and hope for the best?
Just being creative & having fun it's all excellent Illininoles97.
Where it says Oakland it should say Las Vegas. I created this using portions of documents I have stored on my computer.
Here is my dream NFL schedule for one weekend & remember this is just made up.

Well, bless your heart! Your criticism of Z-man continues to amaze me. You express such negativity while accusing Z of being unsatisfied! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nada Nogood I am doing My very best to help Z-Man & I am trying help him to understand unfortunately he is such a thunderhead that he wants everything in college football to go his way & sadly he has been struggling adapting to all changes resulted in all his cuckoo ideas which have zero chance to succeed.
I pray & hope that Z-Man that he will accept anything that occurs in College Football like nine game conference schedules, Notre Dame-USC playing in September when rivalry resumes, Michigan-Ohio State continue its noon traditional kickoff & satisfied with college football playoff format & stop making up Mason-Dixon garbage.
I am doing everything to help him NOT accuse him.
How come you do it it’s fun and ok but other guy does it you slam him? Do you have problems?
Illininoles97 Z-Man takes his proposals very seriously & he wants everything to come like there's no tomorrow & ever-changing world of college football is having a major effect on Z-Man & I am concerned about him.
Also want to caution you on Z-Man that he is severely autistic & I only wish that he would combat his disease instead of letting it affect him.
I respectfully request you better educate yourself on autism. It's not a disease to be combated.
So your position is Z-man's ideas are cuckoo because they have zero chance to succeed, but it's "creative" when you put together your "dream NFL schedule for one weekend." Gotcha!
At least fans in Oakland & throughout Northern California stills love the Raiders & thankfully there is NFL Sunday ticket on You Tube TV especially when some silver & black games are unavailable in Northern California something they would love to have during L.A. years 1982-1994.
