NFL Releases 2026 Regular Season Schedule

On Thursday, the NFL unveiled its full schedule for the 2026 regular season.

If you ask some, they might even call it “Super Bowl Thursday” for the social media teams across all 32 franchises.

So, if you’re interested, here are all the schedule release videos for your viewing pleasure.

In the Cardinals’ video, their mascot, Big Red, appeared to have a Zoom meeting with other mascots to announce the schedule—at least, that’s how it seemed.

The Falcons opted for a nostalgic touch, reminiscent of that classic “This is SportsCenter” commercial featuring former quarterback and current president of football operations, Matt Ryan.

The “Get” moment definitely deserves a watch.

If you enjoyed “Wedding Crashers,” then you’ll probably like the Ravens’ release video, where wide receiver Zay Flowers and mascot Poe crash a fan’s wedding.

For the Bills, picture a brainstorming session that leads to a rather unusual idea—a giant chrysalis, thanks to Josh Allen’s creativity.

And if all else fails, blowing something up can always be an option.

Roma Odunze dressed as Bob Ross? That’s just inspired.

The Bengals packed their schedule announcement with big-budget movie vibes, showcasing the team’s evolution and flashy cinematic effects. And yes, there was plenty of Joe Burrow on display.

The Browns, riding the nostalgia wave, took cues from the “Street Fighter” franchise.

Among the situation with the Cowboys’ offensive line, they have three players named Tyler: Tyler Smith, Tyler Guyton, and Tyler Booker. They decided to present “Tyler Intelligence.”

In a somewhat offbeat segment, Peyton Manning and his daughter were just lounging on the couch and flipping through channels. Nothing much to see—except the commercials, of course.

I mean, is Dan Campbell upset? Because, let’s be real, he has a reputation for being somewhat unpredictable. In the Lions’ video, as reporters asked questions via voiceover, there he was, just casually writing the schedule on a bulletin board.

Packers players in claymation form tackling video games to confront their 2026 opponents? Welcome to Kickin’ Curds Arcade.

And then there’s a quirky video from the Texans, featuring Brian Cushing acting increasingly erratic.

If you like “The Simpsons,” their release includes some playful references, along with a couch gag.

Curiously enough, it poses the question: Did they actually cut his hair?

The Chiefs invited you to their “Kingdom Schedule Release Shopping Network,” where fans could pick up quirky merchandise related to their rivals, like “Rare Mile High Air” and “Indestructville Tailgate Table.” Hats off to Rob Riggle and Lisa Gilroy, they really nailed their parts.

There’s a funny comparison of Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza to the movies’ Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in “Step Brothers.” And the Chargers released another video themed around “Halo,” packed with references and inside jokes, even nodding to Mike Vrabel and Deanna Russini’s stories.

The Rams took a retro turn, drawing inspiration from “Napoleon Dynamite,” and kicked it off with a few jokes.

In a funny twist, “Mr. Ross” is not to be confused with Dolphins owner Stephen Ross—it’s actually musician Rick Ross.

Vikings kicker Will Reichard humorously ordered every dish from a menu that references each of Minnesota’s upcoming opponents. And they lovingly described buffalo wings in quite a colorful way.

Want to see Patriots players, including cornerback Christian Gonzalez, ride roller coasters at Six Flags New England? Well, here’s your chance—though we understand if that’s not exactly on your wish list.

Weather themes? One name comes to mind: Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel.

And while we’re at it, let’s not forget Winston Van Gogh. Initially skeptical of this video on Thursday night, I found my opinion shifting as the releases progressed. It turned out to be one of the standout videos of the season.

Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Jordan Davis, Jordan Mailata, and Jihad Campbell teamed up to announce matchups and kick off a podcast.

Imagine following a Steelers guard on the first day at work and maybe even “buffing your DNA” along the way.

The 49ers celebrated their 80th anniversary with a video inspired by “Full House” and other nostalgic sitcoms, while the Seahawks had a humorous commercial with fake scents for each team. The Eagles and 49ers commercials really stood out, too.

All in all, the videos featured quirky moments that made them memorable—think of a “Baywatch” twist with comedian Bert Kreischer alongside offensive lineman Cody Mauch and tight end Coe Kieft as a lifeguard.

While the Chargers currently hold the crown in the “schedule liberation war,” the Titans are catching up fast. They approached fans in Nashville this year using humor to spotlight their opponents’ logos, reminiscent of last year’s format but with a fun twist.

And the entertainment didn’t stop there—welcome to the Commanders’ Science Fair with Jacory Croskey-Merritt, also known as Bill, taking the role of scientist Bill Nye. Another reference to the 49ers substation conspiracy was thrown in for good measure.
