The 2026 NFL schedule is live. The New York Jets and all 32 teams now know their exact route they will take toward Super Bowl 61.
The Jets’ schedule is interesting. It is the 12th most difficult in the league, however, it is also the easiest in the AFC East.
Gang Green kicks off their campaign against the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. It’s a clash against former head coach Robert Saleh.
Heading into 2026, there is a bit of new excitement for the Jets in New York. The revamped roster and 2026 NFL Draft has provided optimism.
However, the schedule makers evidently believed the Jets are among five teams that still need to prove it on the field based on their schedule… at least in one sense.
Combing through the Jets’ 2026 schedule there is one thing that stands out: Zero prime-time games.

The full list of those teams can be found below:
