Jaguars face travel hurdle on 2026 NFL schedule

•Yahoo Sports

The Jaguars will again have to overcome this travel disadvantage on the NFL schedule.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will find out their specific schedule on May 14, along with the rest of the NFL. But for now, a few things are already clear: they will be playing two games in London, England, and those games will be against the Philadelphia Eagles and Houston Texans . Fans already know who the Jaguars will be playing, albeit without specific dates, and Jacksonville's strength of schedule falls in the middle of the pack among NFL teams.

However, it has been revealed that the Jaguars will be among the teams which travel the most in 2026, landing in the top 10. And all those travel miles can make even an easy schedule more difficult. Adam Schefter reported the number of air miles each team will travel through the 2026 season.

This year, as opposed to last seaso n, they don't fall in the top five most-traveled teams, but they're still in the top 10 overall, traveling 23,392 miles, which ranks as the eighth-most. The fact that the Jaguars are traveling to London plays a big role in this outcome. Jacksonville is also on the road against Baltimore, Denver, Chicago, and New York.
