The New York Giants went 4-13 in 2025. How will they do in 2026?
The New York Giants' 2026 schedule was released on Thursday.
In Year 1 of the John Harbaugh era, the Giants will play the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Commanders, New Orleans Saints, Houston Texans, Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts, San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions.
The Giants went 4-13 last season. They have been predicted to go 8-9 in 2026 by NFL analyst Moe Moton of Bleacher Report.
"The Giants will be a better team under Harbaugh, though they need Dart and Nabers to be healthy for most of the campaign to see significant progress," Moton wrote.
In the 2026 NFL Draft, New York selected Arvell Reese, Francis Mauigoa, Colton Hood, Malachi Fields, Bobby Jamison-Travis, J.C. Davis and Jack Kelly.
The Giants haven't made the playoffs since the 2022 season. That was the first year of the Brian Daboll era.
Daboll was fired during the middle of last season, and while Jaxson Dart was close with Daboll, he believes Harbaugh will turn the New York franchise around.
"He was just a coach who I feel like I just bought into the things that he was saying immediately, and just the way that he carries himself and can conduct himself in front of a room and his track record is incredible," Dart told ESPN in January.
"So immediately the winning culture, the intensity, and then just the enthusiasm and love about football, that's what he carries and brings to the team. So, just can't wait to get started and get rolling with him."
Dart finished his rookie season with 2,272 passing yards, 15 passing touchdowns, five interceptions, 487 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns. He appears to have a bright future under Harbaugh, who helped Lamar Jackson win two MVPs.
