2026 NFL Schedule Grid — Every Team, Every Week, Byes Highlighted

One box score for the whole season: 32 teams × 18 weeks, bye cells filled in, and every rest-and-venue quirk that matters for fantasy flagged right on the cell. Filter by team, trim the week range, or flip to the byes-only sheet.

All 32 teams across weeks 1–18. @ = road game. Bye cells are filled in; badges mark primetime, short weeks, mini-byes, domes, and late-season outdoor games in cold markets.

Game weather

Kickoff weather — week 2 and 3

Real forecasts for the kickoff hour at every open-air game on the next two weekends. One number here is worth more than the rest combined: sustained wind of 15 mph or more, the only weather variable with a documented effect on fantasy scoring — deep passing accuracy and field goals both fall off past it. Cold and rain make better television than they do lineup decisions.

Forecast pulled Fri, Sep 18, 2:01 AM ET from the National Weather Service — 9 of 31 games are inside its 7-day window, which reaches Thu, Sep 24, 2:00 PM ET.

Worth a second look

MIN @ CHIWind likely to affect scoringWind NE 20 mph — past the 15 mph line where deep passing and field goals measurably degrade. Fade the deep threats and the kicker. 60% chance of precipitation with wind behind it — wet ball, shorter routes. Rain on its own barely moves scoring; rain plus wind does.
PHI @ TENWorth monitoring before kickoffWind SW 5 mph — under the 15 mph threshold. 95°F — extreme heat; expect rotations and cramping.

Wind likely to affect scoringWorth monitoring before kickoffNo weather impact expectedNo forecast yet — beyond the 7-day window

Why later weeks are blank. The National Weather Service publishes about seven days ahead and no further, so a forecast for week 14 does not exist in September — not here, not anywhere. 12 games on this board are past the end of the current forecast; they fill in as the week gets closer. We would rather show you an empty cell than a stale number dressed up as a forecast. For the games no forecast can reach, the grid above still flags late-season outdoor — a climate label, not a prediction.

Domes and retractable roofs. A dome is weather-proof and gets no forecast because it needs none. A retractable roof is a judgement call the club makes on game day; we treat it as indoors, which is how it goes nearly every time the weather is bad.

How to read the flags — for fantasy, not trivia

Every badge is a small, well-documented edge (or trap), and none of them should ever overrule talent. Here’s what each one is actually worth:

Short week (≤5 days rest) — the one flag with real teeth. Teams coming off a short turnaround practice less, install less, and score a little less; banged-up players (RBs especially) are the most likely to sit. When two flex options are a coin flip, fade the short week.
Mini-bye (10+ days rest) — the mirror image, worth a mild bump. Extra rest gets questionable players back on the field and gives coaches a fortnight to scheme. It includes the first game back off the full bye, which is where the effect is best documented. Small edge — a tiebreaker, not a reason to start anyone.
Primetime — the most overrated flag on the board. The “primetime shootout” narrative doesn’t survive contact with the data: scoring in night windows is about the same as the 1pm slate, because the league flexes good teams, not high totals, into those slots. We label it so you know when your player kicks off — not so you chase it.
Dome — a climate-controlled roof at the game site. Mild passing-game tailwind, and it’s the flag that cancels the next one.
Late-season outdoor — weeks 15–18 at an open-air stadium in a cold-region market. This is the “potential weather issues” promise of this page, and we’re explicit about what it is: a static climate label, not a forecast. Nobody knows in July whether Week 16 in Buffalo is 35°F and clear or a lake-effect whiteout — but you can know today which fantasy-playoff games are exposed to that risk, and plan your roster around the ones that aren’t. For the games that are close enough to forecast, see the kickoff weather board above: real National Weather Service numbers for the next two weekends.

The 2026 bye structure — nine weeks, one crunch

The 2026 byes are spread across nine weeks (5–14, skipping week 12), and they are not spread evenly. Most weeks rest two or four teams — then week 11 rests six at once: Atlanta, Cleveland, Green Bay, the Rams, New England, and Seattle. If you draft heavily from those rosters, week 11 can hollow out a lineup that looked deep in September. Hit the Byes only view for the flat cheat sheet, or use the team filter to see exactly which weeks your roster goes dark.

One honest caveat: this is the schedule as pulled on Sep 17, 2026. NFL flex scheduling moves late-season games between windows, so a December cell’s primetime flag can change; opponents, sites, and byes do not.
