2026 Tennessee Titans Preseason Schedule
Tennessee opens at Levi’s Stadium, then plays twice at home. All three games get national carriage. NFL Network has the trip to San Francisco and the finale against Chicago, both carried locally by WKRN News 2, and the middle game is the summer’s biggest window, with the Titans hosting the defending Super Bowl LX champion Seattle Seahawks on FOX.

The August 29 finale lands one day before the league wide cut to 53 players on August 30, so it is the last real audition for anyone on the roster bubble.

Fourteen of the seventeen games kick off at 1:00 PM ET. Only the trips to Jacksonville in Week 12 and Las Vegas in Week 16 start at 4:05 PM. The Week 18 finale in Houston stays unassigned until after Week 17. Sunday afternoon games can be flexed to Sunday Night Football in Weeks 5 through 17, to Monday night only in Weeks 12 through 17, and to Thursday night no more than twice in Weeks 13 through 17.
Key Matchups, Bye Week and What Changed in Nashville
The opener writes itself. Robert Saleh, hired in January 2026 after Brian Callahan was let go six games into a 3-14 season, begins his Titans tenure against the New York Jets, the club he led from 2021 until his firing five games into the 2024 season. He spent 2025 as the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator. Edge rusher Jermaine Johnson faces his old team too, having come to Nashville in a March 2026 trade that sent nose tackle T’Vondre Sweat to New York.
Week 3 in New Jersey is the second reunion. Wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson, cornerback Cor’Dale Flott and tight end Daniel Bellinger all left the New York Giants for Tennessee in free agency, and all three return to MetLife Stadium on September 27.
The AFC South arrives in pairs. Houston visits in Week 5 and hosts the finale in Week 18. Indianapolis hosts in Week 6 and visits in Week 15. Jacksonville is the odd one: the two meetings sit just two weeks apart, at Nissan Stadium in Week 10 and at EverBank Stadium in Week 12. The bye lands in Week 9 on the weekend of November 8, right in the middle of the season and directly before that Jaguars stretch.
One number defines the slate as released: zero. Tennessee has no primetime game, joining the Jets, Raiders, Dolphins and Cardinals as the only five clubs shut out of the night windows. All sixteen assigned games are Sunday afternoon broadcasts on CBS or FOX. That can still change, because the unassigned Week 18 game could land in a Saturday or Sunday night slot and Sunday games from Week 5 on are flex eligible. The tradeoff is a softer road: 2026 opponents went a combined .476 in 2025, the eighth easiest schedule in the league according to ESPN.
Off the field, 2026 is a season of goodbyes and firsts. It is the final year at the current Nissan Stadium before the new enclosed venue next door opens in 2027, and the first year of a full rebrand: a palette cut from six colors to four, a block T logo with three stars enclosed in a red circle, and white helmets carrying a six string stripe for Music City. The nod to the franchise’s Houston Oilers roots is the return of Titans blue.
Games worth circling
- Week 1 vs Jets, September 13. Saleh’s debut against his former club.
- Week 2 vs Eagles, September 20. The toughest home test of the year arrives early.
- Week 5 vs Texans, October 11. Division opener and the first look at the AFC South picture.
- Week 10 vs Jaguars, November 15. First of a two game swing against Jacksonville inside three weeks.
- Week 15 vs Colts, December 20. A late division game with standings weight.
- Week 17 vs Steelers, January 3. The final scheduled game at the current Nissan Stadium, barring a home playoff date.
Home seats are sold through the Titans ticket office and SeatGeek, the club’s official ticketing partner, with verified resale on SeatGeek, StubHub, Ticketmaster and Vivid Seats. Prices for the Eagles, Steelers and division games tend to climb as kickoff nears, so booking early is usually cheaper.
How to Watch the Tennessee Titans Schedule on TV and Streaming
Every assigned game on the Tennessee Titans schedule is on free over the air television. CBS carries ten and FOX has six, all of them regional Sunday afternoon windows rather than national telecasts, and only the Week 18 trip to Houston is unassigned.
None of the sixteen sits on NBC, ESPN, Prime Video or Netflix, which makes the streaming picture unusually simple.
| PLATFORM | WHAT IT COVERS |
|---|---|
| Paramount+ | The CBS game shown in your local market, on either plan |
| FOX One and the Fox Sports app | The six FOX games, plus the August 23 preseason game |
| YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, DirecTV Stream | Live CBS and FOX. On YouTube TV they sit on the Base plan and on the Sports and Entertainment genre tiers |
| NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV | Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games not shown in your own local market |
| NFL+ | Live local and primetime games on phone and tablet, plus out of market preseason on mobile and connected TV |
| Antenna, no subscription | WTVF NewsChannel 5 and WZTV FOX 17 across Middle Tennessee |
Because no assigned Titans game sits behind cable or a paid streaming exclusive, an HD antenna in the Nashville market covers all sixteen of them at no cost, leaving only the Week 18 finale to be confirmed. WKRN News 2 adds two of the three preseason games.
On radio, Titans Radio runs on flagship 104.5 The Zone (WGFX-FM) with Taylor Zarzour on play by play and former Steelers guard Ramon Foster as analyst.
