Buffalo opens their new stadium against Detroit and dominates the national spotlight with seven primetime games, including a Thanksgiving showdown with the Chiefs and a Christmas Day trip.
After days of leaks and rumors, the full Buffalo Bills schedule for the 2026 season is now out. And fans better get used to even more prime time matchups.
Buffalo will be featured on a National TV broadcast at least seven times, pending any game flexes.
Before getting into those games, things kick off in Week 1 with a trip to Houston for the third consecutive season. The Bills have lost the last two games against Houston by a combined seven points.
After that, it's time to open the new stadium against the Detroit Lions for the first of three straight home games.
Going back to the primetime games, Buffalo plays twice on Thursday night, twice on Monday Night, and once on Friday, Saturday night, and Sunday night. One game that isn't in prime time that may surprise some fans is the Week 8 game against Baltimore. That'll take place at 1pm, with the Bills coming off the bye week.
You can check out the rest of the team's schedule below. The preseason schedule will be announced at a later date.
