Jacksonville Jaguars schedule: Games, dates, TV channels, predictions for 2026 season

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen didn't have the strongest start to his tenure in "duu-VAAHL," but he had the last laugh once the games began.

Taking over a Jaguars squad that went 4-13 one year prior, Coen implemented his offensive system in Jacksonville and quickly found success. By their Week 8 bye, the 2025 Jaguars had matched their win total from one season prior. After that, they went on to win nine of their last 10 games to finish 13-4, securing the AFC South title.

At the end of the season, Jacksonville had the sixth-best scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 27.9 points per game – a massive leap forward from the 18.8 points per contest the team averaged in 2024. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence had one of the best seasons of his career and finished fifth in MVP voting in his first year under Coen.

This offseason, the Jaguars were largely quiet in free agency before adding 10 players in the 2026 NFL Draft – five on offense and five on defense.

Here's what to know about Jacksonville's 2026 schedule as they look to repeat their division title:

Jaguars record prediction 2026

Record prediction: 11-6

The Jaguars were one of the biggest surprise successes of the 2025 season. In head coach Liam Coen's first year with the offense, Jacksonville ranked sixth in the NFL in points per game.

As the Jaguars prepare for 2026, they'll do so preparing to take another step forward in Coen's offense. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence looked like the best version of himself last year, and he'll be re-joined by wideouts Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers for another season.

With matchups against the AFC North and NFC East ahead, we're expecting Jacksonville to take advantage of clashes with rebuilding defenses.
