The New York Giants are heading into a new era under head coach John Harbaugh, and the 2026 schedule is officially here. After three rough seasons—going 4-13, 3-14, and 6-11—the Giants are looking to turn the page. It's been a long dry spell since their last Super Bowl win in the 2011 season, with only two playoff appearances (2016 and 2022) and a single playoff victory (2022) since then. But Harbaugh's arrival, following his departure from the Ravens, has brought a fresh wave of optimism to the Big Blue faithful.
The full schedule was unveiled Thursday, revealing not just the opponents but also the dates, times, and TV details. Here's a breakdown of key matchups to circle on your calendar:
