Training camp is well underway and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter 2026 looking to get back to the postseason after an 8-9 finish snapped their five-year playoff streak. Expectations remain relatively modest entering the new campaign, with the Buccaneers’ over/under win total currently set at 8.5 wins, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Tampa Bay will navigate a 17-game slate that features nine home games and three primetime matchups.
Here’s the Buccaneers’ full schedule of games for the 2026 season.
