The countdown is on for Jacksonville Jaguars fans: the NFL is set to release the full 2026 schedule for all 32 teams on Thursday, May 14. While we already know who the Jaguars will face next season, the exact dates, times, and primetime slots remain under wraps—until rumors and leaks start to surface.
As is tradition, select games will be officially announced by the league ahead of the big reveal, while others will trickle out through leaks. For the Jaguars, the buzz is already building. Based on their opponents' projected win totals, Jacksonville's strength of schedule sits right in the middle of the pack. But as any seasoned fan knows, the true difficulty often hinges on how the schedule's timing and travel breaks shake out.
One of the most intriguing leaks so far: the Jaguars are reportedly set to host the Houston Texans in London during Week 6. That's a high-stakes international matchup against a Texans squad that boasted one of the league's most disruptive defenses last season. Another rumor points to a clash with the Philadelphia Eagles, a team expected to contend for the NFC crown behind the dynamic duo of Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. A stingy defense on one side, explosive offense on the other—this could be a true test for Jacksonville.
We've also highlighted four key things to watch for once the official schedule drops, including which opponents will pose the toughest challenges. Whether you're planning your game-day wardrobe or just counting down the days until kickoff, stay tuned right here for the latest leaks, rumors, and analysis as they break.
