The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up for a massive 2026 season, and all signs point to the team lighting up the primetime spotlight. With Lamar Jackson at the helm and Super Bowl expectations soaring, the Ravens are poised to be one of the NFL's most-watched teams next year.
New head coach Jesse Minter is about to experience his first NFL schedule reveal, and it's shaping up to be a thrilling one. The Ravens' 2026 opponents are already set, and the lineup is nothing short of a gauntlet. Baltimore will face powerhouse teams from the NFC South and AFC South, along with second-place finishers from the AFC West, NFC East, and AFC East. It's a schedule that promises high stakes and even higher drama.
The official schedule—complete with dates and times—drops Thursday night, but we're already making our predictions for which games will get the primetime treatment.
Home Games to Watch:
Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Los Angeles Chargers.
Away Games to Watch:
Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers, Buffalo Bills, and Dallas Cowboys.
The AFC North rivalry is always a primetime staple, and you can bet the Ravens and Steelers will clash under the lights. Meanwhile, Joe Burrow has been vocal about his dislike for primetime matchups against Baltimore, but that might just make the NFL more inclined to schedule a night game in Cincinnati for the explosive Bengals.
Over in Dallas, Jerry Jones knows a ratings magnet when he sees one. A Monday night showdown between Lamar Jackson and the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium would be a must-watch event for years to come.
And don't sleep on the Bills-Ravens rivalry. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have developed a special head-to-head history, and a game at Buffalo's new state-of-the-art stadium would be nothing short of magical.
Finally, while it's no longer the "Harbaugh Bowl," there's plenty of intrigue between Minter and his former mentor, Jim Harbaugh. As Minter's former defensive coordinator, the Chargers matchup carries deep storylines that fans will love.
Get ready, Ravens fans—2026 is shaping up to be a season full of primetime fireworks.
