Browns only AFC North team left off of NFL scheduling wrinkle
The NFL schedule is set to release tomorrow, but the international games have been announced. The Browns are the only AFC North team without one.
The Cleveland Browns are set to have their 2026 schedule announced on Thursday. However, ahead of the NFL schedule release, the league has already announced its slate of international games. While the Browns were rumored to be on the schedule to play the New Orleans Saints in Paris, France, this year, that has turned out to be a farce.
Instead, it will be the Pittsburgh Steelers who will be heading to Paris to take on the Saints. In fact, the Browns are the only AFC North team without an international game on their schedule. The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Dallas Cowboys in Brazil, and the Cincinnati Bengals will get a date with the Atlanta Falcons in Spain.
Meanwhile, the Browns will hardly travel far away from Cleveland in all of 2026, with the fewest miles traveled among all NFL teams. The 2026 NFL International Slate pic. twitter.
