NFL 2026/27: The Full Fixture List for This Season

The 2026 NFL regular season runs across 18 weeks, kicking off on Wednesday 9 September and wrapping up on Sunday 10 January 2027. All 32 teams play 17 games each with a single bye week, and every fixture on that final weekend is an intra-division clash, as it has been since 2010.

All kick-off times below are UK time. Plenty of evening kick-offs in the States land in the small hours over here, so you will spot games listed under the following UK day. That’s expected, not a typo. All times are subject to change.

The nine international games (UK times)

Kickoff Game and the International Series

The season opens in style with a Super Bowl LX rematch: New England travel to face defending champions Seattle in the Kickoff Game on 10 September. It is the perfect way to settle the old score, and a cracking watch for anyone planning a late one.

After that, the NFL heads global. A record nine international games are scheduled this season, taking in Australia for the first time, a debut regular-season game in France, and returns to the UK, Germany, Spain and Mexico. The pick for UK viewers is the London triple-header across Weeks 4, 5 and 6.

Holiday football

Thanksgiving weekend brings a bumper run of games.

For the first time the league stages a fixture on the eve of Thanksgiving, Wednesday 25 November, with Green Bay visiting the Los Angeles Rams.

The traditional Thursday afternoon double-header follows with Chicago at Detroit and Philadelphia at Dallas, then a primetime clash of Kansas City at Buffalo, before Denver at Pittsburgh rounds things off on the Friday.

Christmas lands on a Friday in 2026, so the league spreads four games across the holiday. Houston visit Philadelphia in primetime on Christmas Eve, then Christmas Day serves up Green Bay at Chicago and Buffalo at Denver in the afternoon, with the Los Angeles Rams at Seattle to see out the night.

Rule changes for 2026

A handful of rule tweaks were signed off at the NFL Owners' Meeting on 31 March 2026. Here is what is new.

Kickoffs

The kickoff format brought in for 2024 has been reworked again.

Onside kicks are now allowed at any point in the game. They were previously limited to the fourth quarter and to the trailing team only.

If a kickoff is pushed back to the 50-yard line by one or more penalties, a touchback now spots the ball at the receiving team's 20-yard line rather than the 35.

The receiving team must now have five players with their front foot on the setup line, down from six.

Instant replay

Replay Assist has been given a wider remit.

Officials can now consult the Replay Assistant to decide whether a player should be sent off for a flagrant act, even where no flag was thrown.

A head coach may now nominate a sideline assistant to throw the red challenge flag. That job used to belong to the head coach alone.

Player safety and suspensions

Five on-field fouls seen as most likely to cause injury now carry a strike system. Any player who commits three of these fouls picks up a one-game ban.

Everyone starts 2026 with a clean slate, but strikes carry over into future seasons. The five offences are the hip-drop tackle, the horse-collar tackle, launching, a hit on a defenceless player and the blindside block.

Stadium news

This is the first season the Buffalo Bills call the new Highmark Stadium home, moving on from their previous ground of the same name (formerly the Ralph Wilson Stadium), in use since 1973.

It is set to be the Tennessee Titans' final campaign at their current Nissan Stadium, with the replacement, also to be named Nissan Stadium, due to open next year.

The Jacksonville Jaguars play at EverBank Stadium with a reduced capacity of around 43,500 while renovations get under way and the upper deck stays shut.

And in Houston, the Texans' home reverted to its former name of Reliant Stadium after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, having spent time as NRG Stadium.
