5 facts about Buffalo Bills' 2026 schedule, including 9,000 more travel miles
From a huge jump in travel miles to six primetime games, here are five interesting facts about the Bills’ 2026 schedule.
The NFL schedule makers didn’t take it easy on the Buffalo Bills in 2026. After being one of the least-traveled teams in the NFL last season, Buffalo’s travel mileage nearly doubles this year thanks to multiple West Coast trips, holiday road games and a more nationally featured schedule . The Bills are also slated for six primetime games , two holiday matchups and the first regular-season game at the new Highmark Stadium .
Here are five facts about Buffalo’s 2026 schedule. 1. The Bills will travel roughly 9,000 more miles than last season Buffalo had the NFL's second-lightest travel schedules in 2025, totaling just 10,546 miles.
Not this year. That number skyrockets to 19,734 miles in 2026, 13th most in the league. The Bills are scheduled for multiple long-distance trips this season, including road games against the Rams and Raiders on back-to-back weeks in October along with trips to Denver, Houston and Minnesota.
The increased travel comes after Buffalo played only one game outside the Eastern Time Zone last year. The Bills could ameliorate the consecutive West Coast trips to Los Angeles and Las Vegas and save 4,500 miles by remaining out west for the entire week between the Los Angeles and Las Vegas games instead of returning to Buffalo in between. 2.
