The 2026 NFL schedule will officially be released at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, but you probably won’t have to wait that long to see the entire schedule and that’s because most of the games tend to leak out beforehand.
The leaks have been trickling in this week and all nine international games were leaked out before the official announcement was made. According to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, he didn’t actually approve the final schedule until Tuesday afternoon, which is one reason why the leaks got off to such a slow start earlier this week, but they’ve now picked up the pace.
The biggest day for leaks will be on Thursday and since it’s hard to keep track of everything that leaks out, we’re going to do that here by keeping a running list of every game that’s officially announced and every game that’s leaked out.
With that in mind, let’s get to our list (And as a quick note, if a week on the schedule isn’t listed below, it’s because we don’t have any information or leaks on that week just yet. For instance, you’ll notice that Week 13 isn’t listed, but that doesn’t mean Week 13 has been canceled, it just means we don’t have anything to put there yet).
