Browns' schedule sets up for a major 2026 season in Cleveland
The Browns know their opponents, and will have their schedule released on Thursday... here is what it means for Cleveland.
The Cleveland Browns are getting a life raft after their really bad 5-12 season in 2025. As the schedules sit right now, the Browns are facing the easiest strength of schedule in the entire league. Their opponents' win percentage from last season is a bottom-feeding .
429, whereas the Chicago Bears have the hardest schedule in the league with a . 550 win percentage. Now, this is how the NFL designs its schedules.
The NFL is somehow the one major sports league that has mastered parody and has fended off tanking and intentional losing, for the most part. Depending on where a team finishes in their division determines who they matchup with in their matchup games next year. So, for the Browns ' sake, they will be playing three entire divisions, the North twice, and then two matchup games to wrap up their schedule.
Before the full schedule is released, take a look at each team's strength of schedule for 2026. š šŗ: NFL Schedule Release - Thursday at 8pm ET on ESPN/NFLN pic. twitter.
