A little over a week ago, the Indianapolis Colts’ 2026 regular season schedule was officially announced, with a number of intriguing opponents, facing off against the AFC North and the NFC East this upcoming campaign—along with their usual rivals within the AFC South (and a few other cross-divisional games).
With all of that being said, which home game at Lucas Oil Stadium are you most looking forward to?
- Week 1: Baltimore Ravens (Sunday, 9/13) at 1 PM EST
- Week 3: Houston Texans (Sunday, 9/27) at 1 PM EST
- Week 6: Tennessee Titans (Sunday, 10/18) at 1 PM EST
- Week 9: Dallas Cowboys (Sunday, 11/08) at 1 PM EST
- Week 10: Miami Dolphins (Sunday, 11/15) at 1 PM EST
- Week 12: New York Giants (Sunday, 11/29) at 1 PM EST
- Week 16: Cincinnati Bengals (*TBD)
- Week 18: Jacksonville Jaguars (*TBD)
It comes down to a few to me: the Week 1 home opener against the Baltimore Ravens, Week 9 hosting
the Dallas Cowboys, and finally, in Week 16, seeing the Cincinnati Bengals come to town ‘across I-74.’
Regarding Week 1, Lamar Jackson is a special talent at the quarterback position, so I think anytime you can see that type of player up close and personal in person, it’s a special treat. While the Ravens, because of injuries, surprisingly finished with an 8-9 record in 2025, it wouldn’t be surprising at all to see them playing in at least an AFC Title Game next year.
Meanwhile, legendary team owner Jerry Jones’ self-proclaimed ‘America’s Team’ isn’t what it once was—finishing 7-9-1 last year and many years removed from their prior early-90’s glory years. That being said, while there are many bandwagon Cowboys fans who will be in Lucas Oil Stadium, I can appreciate the passion of their fans and the tradition of their football history. It’s always fun to send them back home to Texas with a loss too.
Lastly, Week 16 with Bengals superstar Joe Burrow. Like Jackson, Burrow is a special talent at the starting quarterback position, so I think anytime you have a good (and affordable) opportunity to see a player like that up close firsthand, at least consider taking advantage of it—if you can.
If that’s not for you or maybe not in the cards, it’s still fun to see it all at home or in a sports bar on television too.
Let’s hear it in the comments. What Colts’ 2026 home game are you most looking forward to attending?
