We're now days away from the 2026 NFL schedule reveal, and those matchups have come into sharper focus after free agency and the NFL draft. In 2024, the schedule was revealed on May 15, with the Brazil game announced one month earlier on April 10. The year prior in 2023, the NFL announced its 18-week, 272-game regular-season schedule on May 12. Last off-season, the schedule dropped on May 14.
According to Warren Sharp, Baltimore has the sixth-easiest schedule in the NFL this year, with two other AFC North rivals landing in the top five. Rounding out the top five easiest schedules are the New York Jets (5th), Cleveland Browns (4th), Cincinnati Bengals (3rd), New Orleans Saints (2nd), and Detroit Lions (1st).
The second-place finish in the AFC North will give Jesse Minter's team a middle-of-the-pack schedule in 2026.
