The 2026 NFL schedule is here, and the Saints will have their work cut out for them.
The Saints will kick off their season with back-to-back touch road games (Lions and Ravens), before returning to greet a former coach in their home opener (Raiders). The Saints also return to primetime after being shut out in 2025, and have a stretch of five of six games where they face first-year head coaches. Check out the full schedule below.
