The 2026 NFL regular season schedule is out, and while there’s a lot of pomp and circumstance over the release, some of it is important information.

Like, for instance, when each team’s bye week is.

Rest is crucial to a successful season, and the placement of bye weeks can go a long way toward helping or hindering teams in their quests to contend. Moreover, fantasy players will want to know when members of their teams will be on bye weeks and therefore unavailable in a given matchup.

The NFL is absolutely stacking the Thanksgiving slate this season, according to reports.

The Buffalo Bills will host the Kansas City Chiefs on NBC on Thanksgiving night, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. That comes after the Detroit Lions open the day hosting the Chicago Bears on CBS, also per Schultz, and the Dallas Cowboys host the Philadelphia Eagles on Fox, which was formally announced Monday.

The NFL is also having a dedicated Thanksgiving Eve game for the first time, with the Green Bay Packers visiting the Los Angeles Rams on Netflix.

The full NFL schedule release show will be Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network and ESPN.

Bills-Chiefs is always a blockbuster regular-season matchup, though this one features an early cloud hanging over it in the form of Patrick Mahomes’ health. His rehab is reportedly going well, and there will be plenty of time to get back up to speed before visiting Buffalo, but if he’s not the Mahomes of old then this matchup loses some sizzle. Still, it’ll be intriguing to watch the Chiefs deal with the Bills in their brand new stadium.

That’s four games featuring eight teams that all are expected to be playoff contenders, not to mention some pretty major draws. Things don’t always play out the way it seems they will on paper, especially in the NFL, but there’s no denying the NFL is throwing its scheduling weight behind the Thanksgiving holiday.

There’s also the Black Friday game, which hasn’t been announced yet but is a good bet to feature at least one strong draw.

What does that leave for Week 12 Sunday? Of course there are still buzzy teams left over, like the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, the reigning AFC champion New England Patriots, the popular Pittsburgh Steelers, and more.

Even with options like those, it may well be a thinner slate that weekend overall. The NFL has clearly decided it’s OK with that. While everyone is stuffing their faces on Thanksgiving Eve and Day, they probably will be too.

The NFL schedule release week is finally here. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ full week-by-week schedule for the 2026 season — along with those of the league’s other 31 teams — will be announced on the evening of Thursday, May 14. Some of the primetime and holiday games have already been revealed.
