2026 NFL Schedule and early leaks

[Rabidraider]

The NFL will reveal the full schedule for the 2026 season on Thursday night, but they have announced one marquee Week 1 game on Monday.

The first Sunday Night Football matchup of the season will see the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to face the Giants on NBC on September 13. It will be the eighth time in 15 seasons that the two NFC East clubs have faced each other in Week 1.

well, not every Raider fan lives out west... and with no prime-time games, unless you are paying for Sunday Ticket, your chances of watching the Raiders play diminish greatly... unless of course you want to watch some shitty stream somewhere.

its inconsequential. but a number one overall selected QB not having a single televised game is laughable... that doesn't happen.

Titans didn't have a prime time game. Why would they give us one when our first round pick QB might not even be starting for a while. Im sure the networks were not excited by a prime time Cousins game

As we all know the teams we play are a formula, good that takes all the BS from yesteryear out of the question.

So this year playing a team coming off their bye:
4 Games: Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Chargers
3 Games: Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams
0 Games: 14 NFL teams never face an opponent coming off a bye

That's a pretty staggering difference.
They need to put a lot more weight into balancing that out.

Titans didn't have any prime time games last year
Also, every stream I watch is in clear HD straight from the source

I don't stream unless I have to, but it's really not as difficult as some on here make it out to be lol, and as far as quality it's fine.

[Cruisin with Tooz]

two games? that's absurd. this is the most promising Raiders team to take the field in a decade.

commence Sunday Ticket, year 3. ugh.

Plenty of sports bars.

Yeah, there’s no reason to have such a glaring imbalance as that. Unprofessional as all hell.

Regardless of the current situation... and to fair, we have sucked for many, many years

I honestly can't remember a year that we didn't have a "prime time" game,,

[raiders72]

I always look at cold weather games, when Carr was here it was almost guaranteed a L
I see 3 vs Denver Browns and KC

Schedule to be honest ain’t that bad, I see Bills Rams Niners Patriots as more than likely a loss
Seattle it’s tough to repeat
Broncos Chiefs chargers all can be beat

Best case in a perfect world with a legit O and a serviceable D
Division 3 3
Vs NFC 2 3
Vs AFC 3 3

But as we know it ain’t been perfect for quite some time

Despite the last 25 years the Raiders are still a draw.

ok but, I don't care about the Titans, guys...

[FLORIDARAYDAH]

Well you stated it never happens. Had to go all the way back to last season to prove it does.

[Attyla]

ok but, I don't care about the Titans, guys...

But your point was that a number one QB selected in a draft deserves a prime time game. That is just not so. There are other examples of teams who selected a QB first overall and did not get a prime time game. Other than the mandated Thursday night games, Trevor Lawrence did not get a prime time game. The closest he got was an international game. And that was at 9:30 in the morning. And again, frankly the international games actually hurt teams far more than help them due to the extensive travel.

Haha...nice try

[Reno Hightower]

I always hated when this team would get some off season hype and see several prime time games only to get their asses kicked in front of a national audience, typically at the hands of a division rival.

[Viper]

Bye week is week 13...hell the season is almost over....

Perfect time to get banged up players some recovery time before entering the playoffs…

Seriously tho, I want to get to the point where I don’t care who we play, when or where. Line ‘em up and kick some ass. I want other teams and their fans to worry when they see us on the schedule, kinda like yesteryear… or the year before…or the year before
