Dolphins 2026 schedule: All 17 of Miami's opponents next season

The Miami Dolphins' slate of opponents for the 2026 season is set. The NFL's schedule rotation already mapped out 14 of the Dolphins' 17 opponents next season, the other three were determined by the final standings this year.

By finishing third place behind the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills in the AFC East, the Dolphins lined up matchups with the third place finishers in the AFC North, AFC South, and NFC West.

Two of those three matchups were set in stone after Week 17. The last became official when the Los Angeles Rams beat the Arizona Cardinals to move into second in the NFC West. That bumped the San Francisco 49ers down to third and into a 2026 matchup with the Dolphins.
