The New York Jets will play a last-place schedule in 2026. The New England Patriots used theirs to go from worst to first in 2025, so there is hope? Anyway, as the season is over, we have the final slots for the teams New York will play in 2026.
The Bills will always do the home-and-home series with the other three AFC East teams, so the New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, and Buffalo Bills are on the docket.
The three-year rotation brings together the AFC West and the AFC East in 2026, so the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs, and the Las Vegas Raiders will all be Jets opponents in 2026.
The four-year rotation with the NFC divisions will have the AFC East playing the NFC North. The Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears are all on New York’s schedule.
The three final opponents are determined by division finish. The fourth-place team in the AFC South and the AFC North will play the Jets along with the fourth-place team in the NFC West. That puts the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns on the schedule along with the Arizona Cardinals.
The Jets will have eight home games in 2026 as the NFC will get the extra home game this season.
