The New York Giants’ 2026 schedule features nine home games and eight away games:
Giants Home Opponents
- Dallas Cowboys
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Washington Commanders
- Arizona Cardinals
- Cleveland Browns
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- New Orleans Saints
- San Francisco 49ers
- Tennessee Titans
Giants Away Opponents
- Dallas Cowboys
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Washington Commanders
- Detroit Lions
- Houston Texans
- Indianapolis Colts
- Los Angeles Rams
- Seattle Seahawks
As customary, six of the Giants’ 17 games will come against NFC East teams, one apiece at home and on the road.
The NFC East’s intraconference rotation features the NFC West. The Giants will play the Cardinals and 49ers at home, and Rams and Seahawks on the road.
The NFC East’s interconference rotation features the AFC South. The Giants will play the Jaguars and Titans at home, and the Texans and Colts on the road.
The remaining games were determined by their divisional finish (fourth) last year. They’ll play other teams that finished fourth: Saints (NFC South), Lions (NFC North), and Browns (AFC North). Because it’s the NFC’s turn for nine home games — each NFC team has nine home games in even-numbered seasons — the Giants game against the Browns is at home.
