Analyzing skill vs. luck for key hitters in fantasy baseball — who to buy, sell, or hold.
The NFL schedule for the 2026 season is expected to be released around mid-May, with a possible announcement during the week of May 11. Key highlights include the season kickoff game on September 9 and a record nine international games, including matches in Australia and Brazil.
As of Thursday, the NFL has not released a specific date for the announcement of the 2026 regular-season schedule. Traditionally, the league has targeted mid-May for the unveiling, leading many to believe the week of May 11 will be the timeframe. However, on a recent podcast appearance Mike North, the NFL’s Vice President of Broadcast Planning, said it could be later. “Most fans know full well that the schedule comes out in mid-May now,” North said on the ** podcast. “That’s what we’ve done the last five or six years. That’s sort of our target. Is there any magic to May 12, 13, 14? No. Is there any real downside to [May] 19, 20 or 21? No.”

Here is what we know right now, days ahead of the release of the 2026 NFL schedule.
The annual game featuring the defending Super Bowl Champions will again start the NFL season. However, this year that game will be pushed up one day and be played on a Wednesday, not a Thursday. More on that in a moment, but the Seattle Seahawks will honor their victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX on Wednesday, September 9, at Lumen Field. Who they will host remains to be seen, but we have some ideas.
This year, the NFL will feature a record nine international games. We know the exact dates for two of these games.
As we have seen in recent years, the NFL is finding ways to become part of your holiday schedule.
Both the Cowboys and the Lions will host their traditional afternoon games on Thanksgiving Day. In addition, there will be a primetime game on Thanksgiving Night. Furthermore, there will be a game played on Black Friday, at least one game that is. According to reports the league is considering the possibility of having a Black Friday doubleheader. In addition, the league is also “actively looking” at a game on Thanksgiving Eve, a popular night at your local watering hole when you are back home with the family.
Once again, the Christmas Day tripleheader is back, with the first two games on Netflix while the prime-time game will be broadcast by FOX. We’ve got some thoughts on what games we want to see on the holiday for you as well.
While we do not know when these games will be played, we know they will be circled on the calendar once the dates and times are announced.
An. AFC Championship Game rematch, only this time we can expect Bo Nix will be part of the proceedings.
These two teams have given us some epic games recently, particularly the games in Seattle.
As long as this game is slated for late in the season — when we can expect Patrick Mahomes to be back and healthy — it should live up to expectations.
Hopefully the rematch of Super Bowl LX will be. better than the original.
Whether it is in Baltimore or in Pittsburgh, he first meeting between these two teams will be the first time the AFC North rivals meet without Mike Tomlin or John Harbaugh on the sidelines in almost two decades.
Trey Hendrickson back in Cincinnati. Should be fun.
It is always fun when these historic rivals get together, but the three games between these two teams are going to be big ones in 2026, particularly after their three meetings a year ago. And how Chicago came back to win their two games at Soldier Field, first in the regular season and then in the playoffs.
