NFL schedule 2026: John Harbaugh’s first Giants opponent revealed
This should be a great matchup.
John Harbaugh ’s first game as the Giants ’ coach should be a fascinating one. Harbaugh and the Giants will open the 2026 season with a Sunday night nationally televised game on NBC — Sept. 13 against the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.
The game will kick off at 8:20, of course. The full NFL regular season schedule will be released Thursday night. But as usual, matchups will trickle out — via reports or official releases — in the days leading up to that.
And sure enough, the Giants on Monday announced their Week 1 game. The Giants and every other NFL team have known their home-and-road opponents since last season ended. This week is just about learning the order of those games — and when they will happen.
