NFL Schedule 2026: Every Game, Week by Week

Here is the full 2026 NFL regular season, all 18 weeks of it, with every game laid out by week. Kickoff times are US Eastern, so add five hours for UK time during the season (British and American clocks drift by an hour around late October, so double-check games then). Games at 9:30am Eastern are the early international fixtures, played this season in London, Paris and Madrid. Munich and Mexico City host later-window games too, and I’ve pulled all nine international games into one table below.

If you want to understand why the fixtures fall the way they do, rather than just when, I explain the formula in how the NFL schedule works.

A couple of quick notes from me, below about the schedule. Make sure to check back where I will add in some of my picks for the week and a little look ahead at the week!

  1. Byes are rest weeks. Every team gets one week off during the season, so from around Week 5 some weeks have fewer than the full 16 games. The teams sitting out are listed each week. It happens because the season runs 18 weeks but each team plays only 17 games, which I explain in how the NFL season works.
  2. Rivalry games are linked: where two great rivals meet, the matchup links through to the full story of that rivalry.

NFL International Games 2026

Nine of this season’s games are played outside the United States, the most the NFL has ever staged in one year. Three are in London, and for the first time there’s a game in Paris. If you’re in the UK or Europe, these are the fixtures on your doorstep, and most kick off at a far friendlier hour than the usual late-night US slate.

The early games in London, Paris and Madrid kick off at 9:30am Eastern, which is 2:30pm here: a Sunday afternoon, not the small hours. Why the NFL plays abroad at all, and how one London game a year back in 2007 grew into this, is a story in itself, and I’ve written it up in full: why the NFL plays games in London and around the world.

The Raiders are 3-0 after a 35-27 win at New Orleans, and I get into how they got there in my Raiders Week 3 review. For the rest of the weekend, from the Bears stunning the Eagles to the Chargers falling to 0-3, my NFL Week 3 review has the lot.

What a week! Kansas City were held to a single field goal by Seattle and never made it to the red zone. Giants needed overtime to see off Houston.
