The NFL is officially releasing its full 2026 regular-season schedule today at 8 p.m. ET, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. This announcement will provide the complete 18-week, 272-game slate, detailing the specific dates, kickoff times, and broadcast partners for every matchup across the league.
While the league has already confirmed several marquee matchups—including a record nine international games across four continents and the season opener on Wednesday, Sept. 9—today's release provides the first comprehensive look at the full path to Super Bowl LXI for all 32 franchises. Notable early reveals include the New York Giants hosting the Dallas Cowboys for the Sunday Night Football opener and the Buffalo Bills debuting their new stadium in prime time during Week 2.
The schedule release has become a major event for team social media departments, which are expected to debut creative and highly produced reveal videos throughout the evening. Fans can access the full list of games across all league platforms and team websites immediately following the official announcement window.
