A long stretch with few games at EverBank Stadium
From Weeks 4 through 16, the Jaguars will play only three games at EverBank Stadium. Although they are the home team five times during that stretch, two of those games are in London.
When is the bye week?
The Jaguars' bye week is in Week 7, following their two games in London. Overall, that lands well, splitting the Jaguars' season into two relatively equal halves. The earliest bye is Week 5, and the latest is Week 14.
How many prime-time games?
After having just one prime-time game last season, the Jaguars have three in 2026. Including the two London games, the Jaguars have five standalone games this year.
What is the toughest stretch?
Of course, this can change once the season begins, but it is a tough start to the year for the Jaguars. Over a five-game stretch from Weeks 2 through 6, the Jaguars face Denver, New England, Philadelphia, and Houston.
Road games to finish out the season
Over the final four games of the year, the Jaguars are on the road for three of those contests. Only two of the final six games will be at home.
