The 2026 NFL schedule release is almost here. It's now a matter of days, not weeks until we know all the important details of the who, when and where the New York Jets will be playing this upcoming season.

The NFL will release the complete 2026 schedule on Thursday at 8 p.m. EST. The New York Jets have known their opponents since the conclusion of the 2025 season, but the Week 1-18 order will be totally unveiled in typical primetime fashion.

Justin Fields signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the New York Jets. He started nine games. He went 2-7. And in Week 12 of the 2025 season, the Jets pulled him and handed the offense to 36-year-old Tyrod Taylor.
