Baltimore Ravens 2026 Preseason Schedule
Baltimore hosts two of its three August games. WBAL-TV 11 televises all three locally, and the Commanders finale also airs nationally on NFL Network.
| WEEK | DATE | OPPONENT | TIME (ET) | TV CHANNEL |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sat, Aug 15 | vs Eagles | 7:00 PM | WBAL-TV 11 |
| 2 | Sat, Aug 22 | at Vikings | 1:00 PM | WBAL-TV 11 |
| 3 | Fri, Aug 28 | vs Commanders | 6:00 PM | NFL Network / WBAL |
Both home dates are useful viewing for Ravens fans this year. Minter is installing a new defense and Declan Doyle a new offense, so August snaps carry more weight than usual.

2026 Baltimore Ravens Schedule: Full Regular Season
Seventeen games, eight of them at M&T Bank Stadium. The bye falls late in Week 13, and the final four weeks are all AFC North games, so the division almost certainly gets settled inside the last month.

The channel split is CBS 9 games, FOX 3, Prime Video 2, NBC 1, ESPN 1, with Week 18 unassigned. Ravens opponents went a combined 138-150-1 last season, a .479 winning percentage that grades as the ninth easiest slate in the league. The first six opponents were 37-64-1 in 2025, which is the softest opening stretch Baltimore has seen in years and gives a first year head coach room to settle.

Key Matchups to Circle in 2026
| WEEK | GAME | WHY IT MATTERS |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | at Cowboys, Rio de Janeiro | First NFL game ever staged in Rio, at Maracana Stadium, in CBS’s 4:25 PM late window |
| 5 | at Falcons | Baltimore’s first primetime game of the season, Sunday night on NBC |
| 8 | at Bills | Jackson against Josh Allen at 1:00 PM, the most notable primetime snub on the calendar |
| 10 | vs Chargers | Minter faces the team he coordinated in 2024 and 2025, on Monday night at home |
| 17 | at Bengals | New Year’s Eve on Prime Video, with the AFC North likely on the line |
| 18 | vs Steelers | Home finale against the team that ended Baltimore’s 2025 season in Week 18 |
Two stretches define the year. Weeks 8 through 12 bring five straight opponents that made the 2025 playoffs: Buffalo, Jacksonville, the Chargers, Carolina and Houston. Baltimore then returns from the late Week 13 bye against Tampa Bay before closing with four straight AFC North games from Week 15.
Baltimore also gets a rare rest edge in November, with 11 days between the Thursday night Jaguars game on November 5 and the Monday night Chargers game on November 16.
For the Dallas side of the Rio trip see the Cowboys schedule, and for Week 8 see the Bills schedule.
What Changed in Baltimore This Offseason
The Ravens finished 2025 at 8-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2021, losing the Week 18 finale to Pittsburgh 26-24. Baltimore parted ways with John Harbaugh on January 6, 2026 after 18 seasons and 180 regular season wins. He was hired by the New York Giants two weeks later.
Jesse Minter, 43, took over on January 22 on a five year deal and is only the fourth head coach in franchise history. He arrives from the Los Angeles Chargers, where he ran the defense in 2024 and 2025, and he already knows the building after four seasons in Baltimore from 2017 to 2020. His staff pairs offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, who coordinated Chicago’s offense under Ben Johnson last year, with defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, most recently the Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator.
Lamar Jackson stays under center after restructuring his contract in March, with Tyler Huntley back as the backup. Derrick Henry returns at 32 off a 1,595 yard, 16 touchdown season.
The headline addition is edge rusher Trey Hendrickson on a four year deal, alongside guard John Simpson. The headline losses went to the Giants with Harbaugh: tight end Isaiah Likely, fullback Patrick Ricard, lineman Daniel Faalele, punter Jordan Stout and safety Ar’Darius Washington. Baltimore opened the draft with Penn State guard Vega Ioane at pick 14 and Missouri edge Zion Young at 45.
How to Watch the Baltimore Ravens Schedule on TV and Streaming
Nearly every Ravens game is free in the Baltimore market with a simple antenna. The nine CBS games are on WJZ 13, the three FOX games on WBFF 45, and the Week 5 Sunday night game on WBAL 11. Under the NFL’s media agreements, Thursday night games also air over the air in both teams’ home markets, so the Week 9 and Week 17 Prime Video games will land on a Baltimore station as well.
That station is not announced yet; WMAR 2 carried the 2025 Thursday simulcast. The one game an antenna will not get you is Week 10 on November 16, which is exclusive to ESPN with no ABC simulcast.
| PLATFORM | RAVENS GAMES IT COVERS | BEST FOR |
|---|---|---|
| Antenna (WJZ 13, WBFF 45, WBAL 11) | The 13 CBS, FOX and NBC games | Baltimore area fans who want zero monthly cost |
| Paramount+ | The 9 CBS games your local affiliate is showing | Cord cutters, $8.99 a month on any plan |
| Peacock Premium | Week 5 Sunday night at Atlanta, also free on WBAL 11 | Streaming NBC without cable, $10.99 a month |
| Prime Video | Week 9 vs Jaguars, Week 17 at Bengals | Anyone with an Amazon Prime membership |
| Sling, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo | Week 10 Monday night on ESPN, plus broadcast games | One bill for every network. Sling Blue and YouTube TV’s Entertainment tier do not carry ESPN |
| NFL+ | Live local and primetime games, phone and tablet only | Watching on the move, $6.99 a month. It will not play on a TV |
| NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube | Out of market Sunday afternoon games | Ravens fans living outside Maryland |
| NFL Game Pass International on DAZN | Every game, live and on demand, local blackouts apply | Fans watching from outside the United States |
One 2026 change worth knowing: ESPN completed its purchase of NFL Network and the cable distribution rights to NFL RedZone on February 1, 2026, so NFL Network now sits under ESPN.
RedZone itself is still owned and produced by the league and still streams through NFL+ Premium at $14.99 a month. If you are chasing the cheapest path to the Week 10 Monday night game, Sling’s Essentials pack carries ESPN at $19.99, while YouTube TV’s Entertainment tier does not include ESPN at all.
