The Cleveland Browns schedule release didn’t have a lot of shocking results, except for fans not getting a lot of early home games that they told us are their favorites to attend. The Browns will start on the road, with their first two matchups coming in Florida against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The home crowd gets to see the new, and hopefully improved roster, for the first time in Week 3 before the only primetime game on the schedule, at home for Thursday Night Football against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In all, Cleveland has just three home games...

The Cleveland Browns schedule is out, with an interesting Street Fighter theme this year, and the results have a lot to pull apart. We’ve known the opponents for a long time; now we have an idea of how the season will move forward, with some positives and negatives to the setup.

Browns fans didn’t get a huge swath of early home games that they desired this year.

We now also know the team’s preseason schedule with three playoff teams from last year. Somehow, we don’t know all the details about the games, however.

First, Cleveland will travel over to Illinois...

The NFL officially released the full slate of games for the 2026 season on Thursday, with the season beginning on September 9 in Seattle and ending on February 14, 2027, with Super Bowl LXI in Los Angeles.

In between, the Cleveland Browns will face a 17-game schedule that includes:

• The opening game of the season is on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 13.
• The home opener does not arrive until Week 3, when the Browns host the Carolina Panthers.
• The bye will be in Week 11.
• Only one primetime game, but it comes...

When looking at all 32 NFL teams and the distance they must travel for their away games this season, the Cleveland Browns have the second fewest miles traveled of any team. They are not participating in any international games this season and do not have to make any long trips out to the West Coast. They will only have to travel to two teams outside of the Eastern time zone this season as well.

When looking at the Browns’ opponents in 2026, they have the easiest schedule in the entire league based on their opponents’ winning percentage from the 2025...

The 2026 NFL Schedule release will happen on Thursday, as all 32 teams will have their 2026 schedules unveiled. Social media teams for all 32 teams will find creative ways to unveil their schedules, and the Cleveland Browns will be no exception. The Browns are projected to have one of the easier strength of schedules after having one of the toughest strength of schedules last season.

Cleveland will face 4 playoff teams (Pittsburgh, Houston, Carolina and Jacksonville) and outside of division play, they will play a mixture of teams that were below average to average last season.

Here are the...

As we eagerly await for Thursday, when the Browns’ 2026 NFL schedule is officially unveiled, we want to take a quick look at the Browns’ opponents and try to project how many wins Cleveland can have this season. We need some type of number to use as a baseline, so I’m going off of FanDuel Sportsbook, which is giving the Browns +125 odds to win 7 games or more in 2026, and +1600 odds of winning the AFC North.

We already know the Browns have the easiest strength of schedule in 2026, so that certainly bodes well for them. They...

The Cleveland Browns had one of the … interesting … seasons of quarterback play in 2025.

The team cycled from veteran Joe Flacco as the starter for the first four games to a pair of overmatched and not-ready-for-primetime rookies in Dillon Gabriel (six starts) and Shedeur Sanders (seven starts), with the result being a five-win season that was in every way imaginable as bad as it looked.

Along the way, fans were left wondering what was going on behind the scenes, with such questions as:

• Why was Flacco Fever not sweeping the town again?
• What future does Gabriel...

As we noted in DBN’s Feed in the last couple of days, the Cleveland Browns will not be traveling internationally this year. In 2025, the early trip to London, England, put a huge wrinkle in the Browns schedule when they decided not to take their bye week after it.

With the release of the international games for 2026, Cleveland will see a few huge benefits that, hopefully, it can take advantage of. A fourth would be added if the Browns are able to face one of the teams traveling overseas days after that travel, as the Pittsburgh Steelers did from...

After losing 26 games in the past two seasons, there must be a change ahead. And change has happened all over this Cleveland Browns roster this offseason.
