​The Tennessee Titans still have more than two months to wait before they play meaningful football, but when the 2026 season arrives, fans will have several games to look forward to. After back-to-back 3-14 seasons, the team has added a new coaching staff, notable free-agent signings, and 2026 draft picks that are expected to boost wins. Here are five games Titans fans should be most excited for in 2026:
1) Titans at Baltimore Ravens, Week 4, Noon on Oct. 4 (CBS). The Titans will face a more polished Lamar Jackson and will need to contain a still-powerful Derrick Henry, who is now with the Ravens. The revamped Titans defense, led by Jeffery Simmons and newcomers John Franklin-Myers and Jermaine Johnson II, will have a big test.
2) Titans at New York Giants, Week 3, Noon on Sept. 27 (CBS). Brian Daboll, now Titans offensive coordinator, returns to MetLife where he previously coached the Giants. His return adds motivation for the Titans, who also added several familiar faces in free agency, including Wan’Dale Robinson, Austin Schlottmann, Daniel Bellinger, and Cor’Dale Flott. Former Titans head coach Brian Callahan, now the Giants’ QB coach, was let go by the Titans in 2025.
3) Titans vs Philadelphia Eagles, Week 2, Noon on Sept. 20 (FOX). The Titans will be hoping to continue their favorable streak against the Eagles at Nissan Stadium, a series they’ve dominated in recent visits. The matchup features first-year offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon, with memories of A.J. Brown no longer on the Titans’ side.
4) Titans vs Dallas Cowboys, Week 11, Noon on Nov. 22 (FOX). The Titans won’t have any prime-time games in 2026, but this Cowboys showdown could become the closest thing to a marquee national broadcast, given the Cowboys’ broad appeal and the attention that comes with their games.
