The NFL is about to drop the 2026 regular season schedule, and all eyes are on the Tennessee Titans. After a tough 3-14 campaign in 2025 that saw head coach Brian Callahan let go, the big question is: have the Titans done enough to earn a prime-time slot this year?

Tennessee enters the season with what many analysts rank as the eighth-easiest schedule. But don't let that fool you—the Titans are set to travel a whopping 18,157 miles for their away games. That's a lot of time on the road, and it's something Bryan DeArdo of CBS Sports highlighted when breaking down one key wish for each NFL team.

Last season, the Titans stumbled out of the gate with five of their first eight games away from home, going just 1-7 during that stretch. That brutal early schedule set the tone for a disappointing year and played a big part in the coaching shakeup. A more balanced start in 2026 could be exactly what this hungry Titans team needs to turn things around.

With significant roster improvements this offseason, Tennessee is hoping to catch its breath early and build some momentum. Whether that translates into a prime-time spotlight remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure—we'll find out soon enough.
