The Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> already know which teams they will be facing in 2026, and in less than a week, fans will know the full schedule.<\/p>\n

According to Adam Schefter, the NFL will be releasing each team’s full schedule on May 14.<\/p>\n

In an analysis<\/a> of all 32 NFL teams, the Jaguars<\/a>‘ schedule came in the middle, at 15th, in difficulty. While there are some teams that will almost certainly be tough \u2014 the Houston Texans<\/a>, the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>, the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a>, the Denver Broncos<\/a> \u2014 Jacksonville is also facing teams that should provide easy wins.<\/p>\n

However, even teams that look easy can end up being difficult depending on where they fall in the schedule. Dealing with lots of travel, long road trips, a home advantage, or coming fresh off a bye week can all make huge impacts in a team’s performance, even if they are otherwise stronger or weaker teams.<\/p>\n

There are also inevitably teams that will end up surprising the league; in 2025, the Jaguars were one of those teams, rebounding from a dismal 4-13 record in 2024 to become a playoff team with a 13-4 record.<\/p>\n

Here is who Jacksonville will be facing in 2026.<\/p>\n
