The New York Giants' Full 2026 Schedule Has Leaked Online
The NFL doesn't exactly guard its schedule like Fort Knox these days despite its efforts to turn Schedule Release Day into an anticipated event on-par a playoff game. Nevertheless, the league probably isn't too thrilled to learn that the entirety of the New York Giants' 2026 schedule may have been leaked.
It was Bobby Skinner of the Giants Nation Show who shared what his sources claim to be the authentic schedule for the team in their first season under former Super Bowl champion John Harbaugh.
Among the highlights are a pair of primetime games to start the season: Home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, followed by a road game against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. The Giants get their bye in Week 8, play the rival Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football in Week 10 and go on the road against the Detroit Lions for Monday Night Football in Week 16. Their season finale will come against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Here's the full schedule, per Bobby Skinner:
- Week 1: 9/13 v. Cowboys (SNF)
- Week 2: 9/21 @ Rams (MNF)
- Week 3: 9/27 v. Titans
- Week 4: 10/4 v. Cardinals
- Week 5: 10/11 @ Commanders
- Week 6: 10/18 v. Saints
- Week 7: 10/25 @ Texans
- Week 8: Bye
- Week 9: 11/8 @ Eagles
- Week 10: 11/12 v. Commanders (TNF)
- Week 11: 11/22 v. Jaguars
- Week 12: 11/29 @ Colts
- Week 13: 12/6 v. 49ers
- Week 14: 12/13 @ Seahawks
- Week 15: 12/20 v. Browns
- Week 16: 12/28 @ Lions (MNF)
- Week 17: 1/3 @ Cowboys
- Week 18: TBD v. Eagles
A good deal?
On paper this schedule looks about as good as the Giants could ask for. They don't have to go on the road in back-to-back weeks at all until Week 16-17, and they get three of arguably the easiest games on their schedule in the first six weeks.
Simply put, there's tons of potential for the Giants to get some serious momentum early and have it carry them into the second half of the season.
That said, there are some pretty rough stretches in it as well. Those first two games would be a nightmare for almost any NFL team and November could be a make-or-break stretch. A road game against the Eagles, followed by a short rest before taking on the Commanders then taking on the Jaguars.
December is practically murderer's row: The 49ers at home, the Seahawks on the road, a possible reprieve against the Browns (who might have nothing to lose at that point) and a primetime road game against the Lions - could spell disaster.
What do you think the Giants' record will be if this is their true schedule?
