We've known the Jacksonville Jaguars' 2026 opponents for quite some time, but now we know what the full schedule looks like.
By win percentage from the 2025 season, the Jaguars' strength of schedule ranks 22nd this season. However, how the schedule falls can impact the difficulty of it as well.
Below is a look at the Jaguars' schedule, followed by five takeaways from it.
From Weeks 4 through 16, the Jaguars will play only three games at EverBank Stadium. Although they are the home team five times during that stretch, two of those games are in London.
When is the bye week?
The Jaguars' bye week is in Week 7, following their two games in London. Overall, that lands well, splitting the Jaguars' season into two relatively equal halves. The earliest bye is Week 5, and the latest is Week 14.
How many prime-time games?
After having just one prime-time game last season, the Jaguars have three in 2026. Including the two London games, the Jaguars have five standalone games this year.
What is the toughest stretch?
Of course, this can change once the season begins, but it is a tough start to the year for the Jaguars. Over a five-game stretch from Weeks 2 through 6, the Jaguars face Denver, New England, Philadelphia, and Houston.
Road games to finish out the season
Over the final four games of the year, the Jaguars are on the road for three of those contests. Only two of the final six games will be at home.
