The NFL has officially released the full schedule for the 2026 preseason, per @RapSheet. The announcement provides the first look at the league's calendar for the 2026 campaign, detailing the matchups and windows for all 32 teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
The release of the preseason slate is a critical milestone in the NFL calendar, allowing franchises to begin logistical planning for the summer exhibition period. These games serve as the primary evaluation tool for coaching staffs to finalize their 53-man rosters and for rookies to make their professional debuts in live-game action.
While the matchups and weekly designations are now confirmed, specific kickoff times and local broadcast information for several games are expected to be announced by the individual clubs at a later date. The 2026 preseason will follow the established three-game format for most teams, leading directly into the final roster cut-down deadline and the start of the regular season in September.
