The Tennessee Titans unveiled their complete 2026 schedule on Thursday. Robert Saleh’s squad will begin their campaign against the New York Jets in Week 1, and conclude it versus the Houston Texans in Week 18. With the schedule officially revealed, we know when the Titans have their juiciest revenge-game opportunities.
3 revenge game opportunities for the Titans on the 2026 schedule
The Tennessee Titans’ 2026 NFL season schedule features some intriguing revenge-game opportunities for players and staff.
Week 1: New York Jets
The Titans will begin their season against the Jets in a matchup littered with storylines. Saleh will coach against his former employer, as will his assistants Aaron Whitecotton, Tanzel Smart, and Marquand Manuel. Ex-Jets on the Titans roster include John Franklin-Myers, Jermaine Johnson II, Jordan Elliott, Tony Adams, and Michael Carter. Of course the Jets have T’Vondre Sweat and Jarvis Brownlee.
Week 3: New York Giants
The New York Giants matchup might be even juicier than the Jets contest. Titans offensive coordinator Brian Daboll certainly has that one circled, along with assistants Shea Tierney and Carmen Bricillo. The Titans also signed Wan’Dale Robinson, Austin Schlottmann, Daniel Bellinger, and Cor’Dale Flott. On the Giants’ side, they have Dennard Wilson and Brian Callahan on the coaching staff. The Titans briefly pursued John Harbaugh as head coach, who quickly took the Giants gig. Furthermore, they hired Matt Nagy as offensive coordinator after his connection to Mike Borgonzi failed to help him land the Titans job. There’s also the battle of sophomore quarterbacks Cam Ward and Jaxson Dart. Wowza!
Week 16: @ Las Vegas Raiders
The Titans arguably hit rock bottom against the Las Vegas Raiders last season. Brian Callahan was dismissed as head coach following that letdown. They’ll play the Raiders again in Week 12 this campaign with sights on proving Saleh has improved the organization. The Raiders have since hired Klint Kubiak and drafted Fernando Mendoza, so they’ve undergone sweeping changes since last year’s Titans meeting. Titans front-office exec Reggie McKenzie is the Raiders’ former GM, and the organization also hired 2025 Titans interim head coach Mike McCoy this offseason.
