AFC South Games to Circle
Six of Tennessee's 17 games are divisional matchups. Those dates matter because head-to-head results can directly affect AFC South standings and common-opponent tiebreakers later in the season. The Titans face Houston in Weeks 5 and 18, Indianapolis in Weeks 6 and 15, and Jacksonville twice in a three-week stretch in Weeks 10 and 12.
- Houston Texans: home in Week 5, away in Week 18.
- Indianapolis Colts: away in Week 6, home in Week 15.
- Jacksonville Jaguars: home in Week 10, away in Week 12.
How the 2026 Schedule Is Laid Out
The first half of the season is compact: Tennessee plays eight consecutive weeks before reaching its Week 9 bye. That break arrives on November 8. After the bye, the Titans return with Jacksonville at home and then begin a stretch that includes three road games in four weeks: Dallas, Jacksonville and Detroit.
December is especially important for travel planning. Tennessee hosts Washington and Indianapolis while traveling to Detroit and Las Vegas. The regular season then extends into January with Pittsburgh at home in Week 17 and a road finale against Houston in Week 18.
2026 Titans Preseason
Tennessee completed three preseason games before the regular season. The Titans opened at San Francisco on August 13, hosted Seattle on August 23 and finished the preseason at home against Chicago on August 29. Preseason broadcasts and kickoff arrangements are separate from the regular-season schedule.
| Preseason Week | Date | Opponent | Location | Kickoff (CT) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aug 13 | San Francisco 49ers | Away | 8:00 PM |
| 2 | Aug 23 | Seattle Seahawks | Home | 7:00 PM |
| 3 | Aug 29 | Chicago Bears | Home | 5:00 PM |
Planning Around Kickoff Times
Most Titans games on the initial 2026 schedule are Sunday afternoon kickoffs. For fans watching from outside the Central Time Zone, remember to convert the listed time before game day. If you are attending in person, allow additional time for parking, security and stadium entry, especially for high-demand home games.
