The 2026 NFL schedule is released and the Buffalo Bills<\/a> know what their path to finally cracking a Super Bowl will be.<\/p>\n

Some games such as AFC East outings come as expected but can still bring rivalry excitement. Facing opponents not always on the schedule can hold a thrilling unique factor as well.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the point is that not all games on a team’s slate in the NFL are built the same. Of the upcoming 17 games for Buffalo in 2026, which of those bring the most to the table?<\/p>\n

Here is Bills Wire’s<\/a> three best games<\/a> for Bills Mafia next season:<\/p>\n

Week 2: vs. Detroit Lions<\/a>, 8:15 p.m. (TNF)<\/p>\n

Each and every year it’s something of a national holiday in Buffalo: the home opener. That will be the case again in 2026 but with the well-known caveat… this is the first game that will be played at the new Highmark Stadium.<\/p>\n

Week 12: vs. Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, 8:20 p.m., (Thanksgiving)<\/p>\n

In recent years, here is another date circled on the schedule seemingly each year. The Bills and Chiefs have entertained the entire football world for a long time now and we all expect that to happen again in 2026.<\/p>\n

And not to mention, this time it’s on Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Week 16: at\u00a0Denver Broncos<\/a>, 4:30 p.m. (Christmas)<\/p>\n

Facing the Broncos<\/a> already had a few reasons for excitement in Buffalo. At the top of that list is this being a playoff rematch as Denver knocked Buffalo out of the postseason in an upset last year.<\/p>\n

And again, we have some holiday cheer involved. The NFL is trying to take over Christmas and is attempting to in 2026 with the help of the Bills.<\/p>\n
