The NFL schedule was released earlier this month, and let’s just say that the 2026 season will include some interesting primetime games played on days or holidays, or in different locations, that the NFL is not used to playing on. For instance, the league is introducing the first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game on a Wednesday night. Additionally, there’s a record nine international games planned for this year, including a first-time appearance scheduled in Australia.
The NFL is constantly making changes each season to stay fresh it seems, but it’s getting to the point where the games are played on almost every day of the week and on so many different streaming services—it’s getting difficult to enjoy football the same ways fans are used to.
