New York Giants' 2026 opponents officially set

1 week ago 2

The 2025 regular season has officially come to a close for the New York Giants, and now they're headed into the offseason facing quite a bit of uncertainty.

Head coach Brian Daboll was fired mid-season, quickly followed by defensive coordinator Shane Bowen and assistant Bryan Cox. General manager Joe Schoen somehow remains at his post and will lead the head coaching search.

Co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch are expected to make the final decision on the next lead man, but skepticism remains as the Giants continue their trek as the NFL's worst teams.

Here's a quick look at which teams the Giants will play -- both home and away -- next season.

Home games in 2026 (9)

Washington Commanders
Dallas Cowboys
Philadelphia Eagles
Arizona Cardinals
Jacksonville Jaguars
San Francisco 49ers
Tennessee Titans
New Orleans Saints
Cleveland Browns

Away games in 2026 (8)

Washington Commanders
Dallas Cowboys
Philadelphia Eagles
Houston Texans
Indianapolis Colts
Los Angeles Rams
Seattle Seahawks
Detroit Lions

Analysis

After facing the NFL's toughest strength of schedule in 2025, things will only get mildly easier in 2026. In addition to their usual home-and-away series against NFC East opponents, the Giants will face five playoff teams (six if you include the Eagles), with four of those coming on the road.

Big Blue will also likely face their former first-round pick, quarterback Daniel Jones, for the first time, assuming he remains with the Colts.

They will also face several quarterbacks taken in the 2025 NFL draft: Cam Ward, Shedeur Sanders, and Tyler Shough.
