The 2026 Buffalo Bills schedule has been unveiled and while we knew which teams the Bills would be facing, we now know officially when exactly all of these games will be.
Week 1 will be a road game for the Bills as they head to Houston to take on the Texans on Sunday, September 13th at 1pm. Houston has been a building the Bills have had difficulty finding wins, having lost the matchups in Houston in each of the last two years. Following that the Bills will open up the new Highmark Stadium on Thursday Night Football hosting the Lions on the 20th of September.
Other key notes from the schedule, the Bills will have seven primetime and or night games and two of those will be on holidays. Thanksgiving night the Bills will be home against Kansas City at 8:20 EST. This is the Bills first Thanksgiving game since 2022 when they took down the Lions 28-25 in Detroit. The other holiday is Christmas day as the Bills will travel to Denver to take on the Broncos at 4:30 EST. While the Bills have played 11 times on Thanksgiving, they have never played on Christmas.
In terms of the AFC East, the Bills first division game will be Week 4 when they host New England at 1pm EST and Buffalo will end the season with two straight division games, Week 17 @ Miami at 1pm EST then Week 18 hosting the Jets with the kickoff time to be determined.
