While we're still waiting for the full 2026 NFL schedule—including exact dates and kickoff times—to drop on Thursday, we already know who the Bills will face next season and where those games will be played. Let's break down the home and away matchups that have Bills Mafia buzzing.
At Highmark Stadium, Buffalo will host a mix of familiar AFC East rivals and intriguing interconference foes. The New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, and New York Jets will all make their annual trips to Orchard Park, bringing that divisional intensity we know and love. Also coming to town: the Kansas City Chiefs, setting up another potential showdown between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, plus the Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, and the Las Vegas Raiders. On the NFC side, the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks round out the home slate.
On the road, the Bills will face a tough test against the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson, as well as trips to the Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, and Jacksonville Jaguars. They'll also head to the Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers. In interconference play, Buffalo travels to the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers—two teams that could be Super Bowl contenders by then.
With this lineup, the Bills have a balanced mix of divisional battles, AFC heavyweight clashes, and NFC challenges. Whether you're planning your game-day gear or just dreaming of next season, these matchups promise plenty of excitement. Stay tuned for the full schedule release on Thursday, and get ready to gear up for another run!
