New Orleans Saints schedule 2026: Dates & times for all 17 games, strength of schedule and predictions
New Orleans gets 12 games against sub-.500 teams and only one prime-time matchup, a Monday night game against Atlanta.
- The New Orleans Saints received the NFL's second-easiest schedule for 2026, with opponents posting a.434 winning percentage last year; Week 7 features an international matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris.
- Finishing last in their division last year granted the Saints a favorable draw against other 2025 last-place teams; New Orleans will play 12 games against opponents who finished with losing records, including six in the NFC South.
- In Week 4, the Atlanta Falcons visit the Superdome for "Monday Night Football," arriving near the 20-year anniversary of Steve Gleason's iconic 2006 blocked punt that marked the Saints' first game back after Hurricane Katrina.
- Back-to-Back road games against the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens open the season, forcing the team to face highly physical opponents before returning home to the Superdome for easier matchups.
- Quarterback Tyler Shough's development under head coach Kellen Moore in his sophomore season will determine how much the Saints can improve; success depends on his continued growth after a promising 2025 rookie campaign.
