The Tennessee Titans unveiled their complete 2026 regular season schedule on Thursday evening. The schedule begins with early revenge-game opportunities for head coach Robert Saleh and offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, with the New York Jets and New York Giants in Weeks 1 and 3. The Titans open with consecutive home contests.
The Titans' schedule sets up favorably for Saleh to lead a hot start. We've analyzed Tennessee's 17-game schedule in terrific detail. So much so that we're prepared to deliver game-by-game predictions with final scores and record projections included.
2026 Tennessee Titans schedule: Game-by-game predictions & final record projection
Week 1: New York Jets - Robert Saleh exacts his revenge as the Titans defeat a Jets organization that has regressed since firing him. The revenge storylines are endless here. WIN 23-14 (1-0)
Week 2: Philadelphia Eagles - The Titans probably aren't ready to compete with an Eagles offense that still features star-power like Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. LOSE 27-16 (1-1)
Week 3: @ New York Giants - This matchup is littered with revenge-game storylines, and Titans OC Brian Daboll sticks it to the Giants by having Cam Ward put on an excellent performance. WIN 30-17 (2-1)
Week 4: @ Baltimore Ravens - This game would be more emotional had it been scheduled in Nashville. It'll mark Derrick Henry's first game versus the Titans, and he'll run all over them. LOSE 24-17 (2-2)
Week 5: Houston Texans - The Texans are rightful preseason favorites to win the AFC South. Ward will continue showing growth against this defense, but they'll fall short. LOSE 23-13 (2-3)
Week 6: @ Indianapolis Colts - The Titans went 0-6 in the AFC South last season. They'll fare better in the division this year, but the road date with the Indianapolis Colts always qualifies as difficult. LOSE 34-27 (2-4)
Week 7: Cleveland Browns - The Titans beat the Browns last season and we expect them to do it again. The Titans have their answer at quarterback. The Browns do not. WIN 27-17 (3-4)
Week 8: @ Cincinnati Bengals - Will the oft-injured Joe Burrow still be healthy? If so, the Bengals defeat the Titans. Tennessee's secondary isn't equipped to combat Cincinnati's fire power. LOSE 30-23 (3-5)
Week 9: BYE WEEK
Week 10: Jacksonville Jaguars - The Titans come off the bye week well rested and surprise the Jaguars, who are regression candidates this year. WIN 27-20 (4-5)
Week 11: @ Dallas Cowboys - An improved Cowboys squad should defeat the Titans in Dallas. This could be an opportunity for Ward to get the appreciation and recognition he deserves. LOSE 31-28 (4-6)
Week 12: @ Jacksonville Jaguars - We had the Titans beating the Jaguars in Week 10, but it's tough to envision them sweeping the season series. The Jags get their revenge at home. LOSE 34-27 (4-7)
Week 13: Washington Commanders - The Commanders are a big unknown heading into 2026. Will Jayden Daniels bounce back after an injury-filled season? What about their lackluster defense? WIN 27-24 (5-7)
Week 14: @ Detroit Lions - Expect the Lions to re-establish themselves as NFC contenders after enduring a disappointing 2025 season. LOSE 27-14 (5-8)
Week 15: Indianapolis Colts - The Titans split the season series with the Colts as Ward puts the offense on his back. WIN 28-21 (6-8)
Week 16: @ Las Vegas Raiders - Fernando Mendoza will surely be starting for the Raiders by this point, assuming Kirk Cousins opens the season? If so, this will be a fun matchup between consecutive No. 1 overall picks. WIN 23-17 (7-8)
Week 17: Pittsburgh Steelers - Whether Aaron Rodgers returns for a 96th season or not, we're anticipating this Steelers team being rather average. The Titans continue riding momentum. WIN 23-14 (8-8)
Week 18: @ Houston Texans - If the Titans march into Houston for the regular-season finale at 8-9, they could possibly be facing a win-and-in scenario, either in the division or for a wild-card spot. Unfortunately, they're still well behind the Texans. LOSE 23-16 (8-9)
