We've known who the Tennessee Titans' opponents would be in 2026 for some time now, and even which games would be at home and on the road. We didn't know the order, though, nor did we know when the bye week is. Today, the NFL finally released the 2026 schedule, and Titans fans should be excited.
Here are Titans Wire's week-by-week forecast for the entire 17-game campaign:
The Titans open their season at home, hosting the team with which head coach Robert Saleh earned his initial head coaching stripes. It wasn't a pretty showing by Saleh, but, to be fair, the Jets haven't had a winning season in over 10 years. We'll get to see Carnell Tate get his feet wet against an average secondary.
With most of their nerves out of the way, facing the Eagles this early in the season will be a tough task for the Titans. The young offense will face a tough team that's used to postseason action. The Eagles may overlook the Titans, which would keep the game interesting, but they'll gather their wits and give the Titans their first loss of the season.
This is probably the most intriguing and exciting game on the Titans' schedule. The Giants have a ton of optimism around them after hiring John Harbaugh and making some roster upgrades, including their first-round draft pick, Arvell Reese. Reese will look for his former Ohio State teammate, Carnell Tate, in an effort to shut him down. and are both dynamic quarterbacks entering their second season in the league. It's going to be a fun game to watch.

DBR Podcast #824: Schedule Updates And Combine Evaluations
Duke Basketball announces new games and discusses Draft Combine performances.
After rebounding from the Eagles' loss with a win over the Giants, the Titans face a Ravens team that still includes former Titans running back Derrick Henry. The Titans' defense will be prepared. This isn't the same team that Henry left two years ago, but even with the improvements to the roster, the Ravens outmatch the Titans.
The Titans are going to struggle with this game. If all plays out as above, they'll be 2-2 heading into their first divisional game of the season. They'll be returning home after two away games, but their desire to show that they are for real in 2026 will come in this game.
Riding the momentum of their first divisional win over the Texans, the Titans will be ready to face Daniel Jones and the Colts on the road. This is the game that will solidify the Titans' relevancy in the conference.
No one ever really knows what the Cleveland Browns are doing, and while they've added some nice pieces to their roster, the team has struggled for a long time. Barring any drastic changes over the summer, expect the Titans to take this one.
Win streaks can't last forever, and the Titans will struggle to string together more than three wins in a row, especially against a Bengals team that is desperate to make it back to the playoffs, or Zac Taylor could be looking for a new job in 2027.
The Titans already defeated the Colts and Texans, so they'll want nothing more than to add the Jaguars to their list of wins and take one of the top spots in the AFC South. The Jags are not a slouch team, but at home, the Titans continue to win in their division.
The Cowboys made some nice roster upgrades in 2026, and this game will see Caleb Downs facing his former teammate in Carnell Tate. This won't be the last time Tate faces a former teammate in 2026, either, and while Downs helps the Cowboys' secondary, this isn't the only matchup on the field. The Titans' defense will force the Cowboys' offense to fight for its life.
Prediction: Win
Week 12: Sunday, Nov. 29 at Jacksonville Jaguars
After defeating the Jags at home, the Titans finish their home-and-away series with the Jags in Jacksonville. The Jags will be ready to do whatever it takes to win this post-Thanksgiving game, and they'll be better suited to do so without having to travel over the holiday.
This is where things get tough for the Titans. The Commanders haven't made a ton of changes to their roster, but they've made impactful changes. And with Jayden Daniels healthy, this will be the first time in weeks the Titans have faced a true running wuarterback. They won't bounce-back from their Week 12 loss against Washington.
The Lions' only losing season wtih Dan Campbell as head coach was in his first season. Since then, even when they've missed the playoffs, they've had a winning season and have issed the playoffs because the NFC North has been highly competitive. The Titans will not win at Ford Field.
Prediction: Loss
Week 15: Sunday, Dec. 20 vs. Indianapolis Colts
The Titans will split the season with the Colts, and since they win the first meeting, they will lose the second.
There's a lot of hype around the Raiders after they drafted Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 oerall draft pick, but the Raiders haven't been relevant since 2002 when they lost the Super Bowl. Since then, they've made the post-season only twice. They made a few changes this offseason that may impact their ability to win games, but the Titans take this one.
This is a tricky prediction to make because we legitimately have no idea who the quarterback is going to be at this point. Aaron Rodgers has been tendered, but hasn't decided if he's returning. Will Howard is taking the first-team reps, but the Steelers drafted Drew Allar, too. Still, the Steelers are a difficult team to play, and their defense is usually the key.
Prediction: Loss
Week 18: Saturday, Jan. 9 at Houston Texans
This is the only non-Sunday game the Titans currently have on the schedule, and it's the final game of the season. They will split the season with the Texans, each taking a win on their home turf.
Prediction: Loss
Final Projected Record: 8-9
After winning just four games in 2025, an eight-win season seems like an extreme jump for a team that's going through a rebuild. But, if you look at everything they've done this offseason to build on what they started in 2025, it doesn't feel like the beginning. There is excitement around this team, and the home and away game slate isn't terrible. Besides, even with a losing record, in the AFC South, they could still make the postseason. Now that would be something.
