The NFL releases its full regular season schedule tomorrow night. The league is, however, announcing several marquee games ahead of the official release.
Today the NFL announced its international games for 2026. The Jets will be stateside for their 17 games.
If recent history is any indication, the Jets avoiding an international game might not be the worst thing in the world. The team has played in London the last two years. In 2024 an ugly loss to the Vikings led to the firing of Robert Saleh and the season reaching a point of no turning back. A year ago the Jets lost to the Broncos and managed to produce negative net passing yards behind Justin Fields.
The league has seen a drastic expansion of its international schedule in recent years. The number of international games will likely rise in the years ahead. Some have floated the idea that the league could eventually give each team at least one international game per year.
So this might be one of the last times you see the Jets play a fully domestic schedule.
