NFL Schedule Leaks 2026: The NFL schedule is starting to spill out piece by piece, like confetti from a pocket with a hole in it. The league has said the full 2026 schedule will be released on Thursday, May 14 at 8 p.m. ET. Before that, broadcast partners will keep teasing select games through the week. The remaining international games will come out on Wednesday, May 13 at 9 a.m. ET on “Good Morning Football” on NFL Network.
Week 1
Week 13
Monday, May 11 belongs to NBC/Peacock, FOX and Prime Video. Those networks are set to reveal select matchups first, which helps the schedule picture take shape one shiny tile at a time. Tuesday, May 12 goes to ESPN. Then Wednesday, May 13 brings another round with NFL Network, Netflix and YouTube joining the reveal push before the full schedule lands on Thursday.
Wednesday, Sept. 9 is already locked in as the season opener in Seattle. The Seahawks are set to host the first game at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock, and the NFL’s own schedule page says the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks will kick off the season at home. The AP also reported that the Seahawks will raise their Super Bowl banner that night, with the opponent still to be announced.
Thursday, Sept. 10 looks set for a big overseas scene. The San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams are scheduled to meet in Melbourne, Australia at about 8:35 p.m. ET on Netflix. NFL sources say it will be the first regular-season NFL game ever played in Melbourne, which makes it a very special road trip on a very long map.
Sunday, Sept. 13 is another big one. The Dallas Cowboys are set to visit the New York Giants in the first Sunday night game of the season on NBC at 8:20 p.m. ET. AP said it is a Week 1 NFC East clash at the Meadowlands, and it is one of the loudest early games on the board.

Sunday, Sept. 27 takes the Cowboys overseas again, this time against the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. NFL sources say that game will be played at Maracanã Stadium and will air on CBS and Paramount+ at 4:25 p.m. ET.
The NFL announced it will reveal the dates and times of select matchups ahead of the full schedule release on Thursday. Below is when those contests will be announced:
