The countdown to the 2026 NFL season is officially on, and for fans who can't wait until the full schedule drops on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, the leaks and early announcements are already heating up. While the league's official release is set for May 14, the tradition of early reveals means you'll likely know most of the key matchups well before then.

It all kicked off Monday when NBC announced a blockbuster Week 1 Sunday Night Football showdown: the New York Giants will host the Dallas Cowboys. This game carries extra weight as it marks John Harbaugh's debut as head coach of the Giants, adding a fresh storyline to one of the NFL's most storied rivalries. The league's broadcasting partners are each expected to unveil a game or two early this week, so expect more prime-time gems to surface soon.

On Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. ET, the NFL will also drop the full international slate on "Good Morning Football," giving fans a look at which teams are heading overseas. But as any seasoned NFL follower knows, leaks are part of the fun—and they'll be coming fast between now and Thursday night.

To help you keep track, we're maintaining a running list of every confirmed game and every rumor that surfaces. If a specific week isn't listed below, don't worry—it just means we're still waiting for details. For example, Week 2 isn't here yet, but that doesn't mean it's been canceled; it simply means the info hasn't leaked out. Stay tuned as we update this list with every juicy detail leading up to the big reveal.
