The release of the 2026 NFL schedule is finally here. Well, it’s not quite here yet. The full slate of games will be released at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, but you probably won’t have to wait that long to see the schedule, since most games tend to leak out beforehand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Between now and 8 p.m., there will be plenty of leaks<\/a>\u00a0and we’ll be keeping tabs on every single leak that we can find on the internet and we’ll be looking to answer some of the biggest questions:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who will the Seahawks be playing in the Wednesday night NFL opener?What will the Thanksgiving games look like?\u00a0Where will the NFL’s annual Black Friday game be played?\u00a0Will the Chiefs get a Christmas game for the fourth straight year? \u00a0Which two teams are going to get stuck playing in the Thursday night game on New Year’s Eve?<\/p>\n

We’ll attempt to answer every single one of those questions, and as a matter of fact, we’ve already started that process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only will we be keeping track of all the leaks, but we’ll also be keeping a running list of every rumored game and you can check out that list by clicking here. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
