Dates and times for most of the games during the 2026 NFL season were released May 14.
Teams have been aware since January which teams would be on their 17-game schedules. They didn’t know in what order and at what time those games would be played.
However, with plenty of fanfare, including special videos made for the occasion, the Cleveland Browns, who went with a Street Fighter video game theme, and the Cincinnati Bengals, who mercilessly mocked the Baltimore Ravens, released the details on their upcoming campaigns.
