But plenty of information will trickle out before then.
So keep it right here for all the latest news, rumors and updates on the Giantsâ 2026 schedule â game dates, times and TV details.
⢠No international game for Giants: They will travel to Detroit instead of being the Lionsâ âroadâ opponent in Munich, as the Patriots got that Week 10 spot. The Giants have international marketing rights in Germany. They lost to the Panthers in Munich in 2024. But they wonât return this year.
The Lions and Patriots also have marketing rights in Germany (as do the Panthers). The Giantsâ other international regular season games have all happened in London â in 2007, 2016 and 2022. The Giants were the designated road team in all four of those games.

Entering Wednesday, one Giants game was already known. In Week 1 â coach John Harbaughâs debut â they will host the Cowboys on Sunday night. That nationally televised Sept. 13 game on NBC will begin at 8:20.
The Giants and every other NFL team have known their home-and-road opponents since last season ended. This week is just about learning the order of those games â and when they will happen.
Other than the Cowboys, Commanders and Eagles, the Giants will face these teams at home in 2026: Cardinals, Browns, Jaguars, Saints, 49ers and Titans.
And other than those three NFC East opponents, the Giants will travel to play these teams: Lions, Texans, Colts, Rams and Seahawks.
In 2025, the Giants opened the season with a 21-6 loss at Washington. In 2024, they began with a 28-6 home loss to the Vikings. In 2023, the Giants got smoked 40-0 by the Cowboys at home in Week 1.
So Harbaugh will be trying to reverse the Giantsâ recent terrible Week 1 fortunes when he squares off against and Co. in this yearâs lid-lifter â in front of what should be a raucous crowd in East Rutherford.
The NFL will release the Giants' 2026 regular season schedule on Thursday night.
No, the Giants will not play any international games in 2026; they will travel to Detroit instead.
Updates on the Giants' 2026 game dates and times will be provided as information becomes available leading up to the schedule release.

The Giantsâ most recent Week 1 victory came in 2022, when they beat the Titans 21-20 in Nashville â coach Brian Dabollâs debut.
Will Dabollâs replacement, Harbaugh, also get a win in his Giants debut?
Cowboys-Giants in Week 1 this year marks the eighth time in a 15-season stretch that the teams have opened the season against each other.
The Giants closed their miserable 4-13 season in 2025 with a Week 18 home win over Dallas. Before that, they had lost nine straight games (and 16 of their previous of 17) to the Cowboys.
The Giants have dropped nine straight games in Dallas since their last win there in 2016 (when they swept the Cowboys). Thatâs their lone win in Dallas since 2012. The Giants are 1-12 in Dallas since then.
