JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars' opponents for next season are set.
The Jaguars in 2026 will play all four teams from the AFC North, all four teams from the NFC East and the first-place teams from the NFC North, AFC West and AFC East. NFL schedules are determined each season by a set, rotating formula – with teams playing an entire division from their own conference every three seasons and an entire division from the other conference every four seasons.
The Jaguars also will play all three of their AFC South rivals – the Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans – in home and away games.
The Jaguars' home opponents for 2026: Houston (12-5 in 2025), Indianapolis (8-9), Tennessee (3-14), the Cleveland Browns (5-12), the Pittsburgh Steelers (10-7), the Philadelphia Eagles (11-6), the Washington Commanders (5-12) and the New England Patriots (14-3).
The Jaguars' away opponents for 2026: Tennessee, Indianapolis, Houston, the Baltimore Ravens (8-9), the Cincinnati Bengals (6-11), the Dallas Cowboys (7-9-1), the New York Giants (4-13), the Chicago Bears (11-6) and the Denver Broncos (14-3).
The Jaguars' opponents include five 2025 division champions – Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New England, Chicago and Denver – and one more playoff team: Houston.
The NFL will announce the 2026 schedule later in the offseason.
