Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2026 opponents: Home, away matchups confirmed

The full 2026 NFL schedule will be released this spring, but we do know now which teams the Buccaneers will face in 2026, and which of those matchups will be at home and on the road.

In addition to the usual home/away matchups against the NFC South — the Falcons, Panthers, and Saints — the Bucs will face the NFC North (Packers, Lions, Vikings, and Bears), the AFC North (Bengals, Browns, Steelers and Ravens), and the Rams, Chargers and Cowboys.

It’s hard to predict how tough the Bucs’ 2026 opponents will be based on this season’s performance. The Bears and Packers should be tough, and it’s good that the Bucs will host next season’s Battle of the Bays in case that one gets scheduled for late November or December. The Buccaneers do face the possibility of a cold-weather game at Chicago, though.
