The Cleveland Browns just dropped the best schedule release video in team history—and they've already secured their first "W" of the 2026 season.
While it's anyone's guess how many wins the Browns will actually earn this year, the talent roster looks stronger than it has in recent seasons, thanks to GM Andrew Berry's sharp drafting. With a new head coach and lingering uncertainty at quarterback, the on-field results remain a mystery. But off the field? The Browns are already champions of the schedule announcement game.
On May 15, alongside the other 31 NFL teams, the Browns released their 2026 schedule in a 3:04 video that captures all the '90s nostalgia we've been craving. The concept is pure genius: key players are depicted as characters in a fighting game, matched up in order against their season opponents.
Partnering with CAPCOM and the iconic Street Fighter brand, the Browns brought in retired YouTube legend MatPat (Matthew Patrick) for the narration, while Dorkly handled the animations and voice-overs. The result is a video titled "Street Fighter CLE," which also promotes the latest Street Fighter 6: Years 1 & 2 Fighters Edition update and three pro tournaments.
The video features standout players like Myles Garrett (as "Flash"), Denzel Ward ("Warden"), Quinshon Judkins ("Q. Jud"), and Carson S—each reimagined as a fighter ready to take on the season's opponents. The creativity paid off instantly, with overwhelmingly positive reactions across social media.
For fans looking to channel that same energy, this is the kind of bold, playful content that makes wearing your team's gear feel even better. Whether you're gearing up for game day or just love the crossover of sports and gaming, the Browns just showed everyone how it's done.
