The team will open the 2026 regular season on the road against the Titans on Sept. 13 in Nashville, sources confirmed. The opposing sideline will include a coach who held the same position with the current team from 2021 through 2024 and is in his first year in the new role.
The Titans also have multiple former players from the organization on their roster, including those who played under the previous coach. A former head coach of another New York team serves as the Titans' offensive coordinator. The season opener will mark the debut of an overhauled roster that has added several new players during the offseason.
The game is expected to feature the return of a quarterback who last played for the team 10 years ago. It could also include the first regular-season appearances for three first-round selections from the most recent draft. The complete schedule for the league is set to be released Thursday night.
