Preseason Results
Jacksonville finished the preseason 2-1. The Jaguars opened with a 24-20 win at New Orleans, dropped a 34-17 decision to Carolina at home, and closed with a 19-0 shutout of Tampa Bay. Those results gave the coaching staff a solid evaluation period before the regular season began.
How the Regular Season Unfolds
The Jaguars open at home against Cleveland, then travel to Denver before hosting New England. A road game at Cincinnati follows, leading into consecutive international contests in London — first against Philadelphia at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, then against Houston at Wembley. After the October 25 bye, Jacksonville hosts Indianapolis, visits Baltimore on Thursday Night Football, and hits the road for games at Tennessee and the Giants.
A home date with Tennessee sits in late November, followed by a trip to Chicago, a Monday night home game against Pittsburgh, a road contest at Houston, and a Sunday night visit to Dallas. The season closes with a home game against Washington and a road finale at Indianapolis (both still TBA and possibly flexed to Saturday). The combination of early home opportunities, back-to-back London games, a useful midseason break, and a late stretch filled with primetime and divisional tests gives the schedule a unique rhythm that will keep every week meaningful as the Jaguars push toward the postseason.
Games That Stand Out
A few dates already feel bigger than the rest. The consecutive international games in London against Philadelphia and Houston are clear calendar highlights. The two meetings with Tennessee and the two against Indianapolis will go a long way toward deciding the AFC South. The Thursday night trip to Baltimore, the Monday night home date with Pittsburgh, and the Sunday night contest at Dallas also land in high-visibility windows.
How to Watch Jaguars Games
Most Sunday afternoon games are listed on CBS or FOX. Primetime slots include Prime Video, ESPN, and NBC/Peacock. Both London games air on NFL Network at 9:30 a.m. ET. The final two games remain TBA. Preseason used ESPN App and local coverage. Check local listings closer to each week for any flexible scheduling updates.
What This Schedule Means for Jacksonville
The 2026 Jacksonville Jaguars schedule offers an early home start, a rare pair of consecutive international games, and a demanding late stretch filled with primetime and divisional opportunities. The late October bye arrives at a useful point, and the combination of AFC South rivalries and high-profile national windows will keep every week meaningful. How the Jaguars handle the South slate and the tougher interconference tests will largely determine their postseason path.
