New York Giants must improve in primetime games in 2026

The New York Giants have struggled immensely in primetime games since 2019.

New York is just 3-19 in primetime contests over the last seven seasons, having been largely ineffective under the spotlight. That trend could begin to change this season, however, as the Giants are scheduled for back-to-back primetime matchups in Weeks 1 and 2.

The Dallas Cowboys will travel to MetLife Stadium to face Big Blue in Sunday Night Football during Week 1. A victory over Dallas would give the Giants an excellent opportunity to send a strong message to the rest of the league, while a primetime road win over the Rams the following week would be equally significant.

New York’s three primetime victories since 2019 have come against the Chicago Bears (2020), Washington Commanders (2022), and Green Bay Packers (2023).

With talent on both sides of the ball and one of the strongest rosters the franchise has assembled in the past decade, the Giants have the potential to secure multiple primetime wins in 2026.

This season, New York will face the Cowboys, Rams, Commanders, and Detroit Lions in primetime and will need to go at least 2-2 in order to remain competitive and show some improvement.
