The NFL announced that the 2026 regular-season schedule will be released on Thursday, May 14.

With there likely to be some games, let's have some fun and produce a 2026 mock Washington Commanders schedule before the league might begin leaking games on Monday. You can't simply schedule games. There must be a rationale behind game days and times, along with which teams match a criteria.
