The Tennessee Titans once again have no primetime games and mostly noon kickoffs in 2026. That’s what happens when you are coming off of back to back 3 win seasons. If they go out and beat their current 6.5-win total on FanDuel Sportsbook, they might actually get a primetime game next season.

The Titans are a 2.5-point favorite in the opener against the Jets. That’s the only Titans game with a line on FanDuel currently, but I think it is safe to say that they would be an underdog in pretty much every other game if lines were available. A couple of wins early in the season could flip that script.

We’d been waiting for the Tennessee Titans to reveal their 2026 preseason schedule. It was not immediately available with their regular season schedule reveal. On Wednesday, the preseason dates and times were finally made available.

The Titans will begin the preseason on the road. On Thursday, Aug. 13, they’ll visit the San Francisco 49ers. Kickoff from Levi’s Stadium is scheduled for 8 p.m. CDT. It will mark a return for first-year head coach Robert Saleh, who served as the 49ers’ defensive coordinator last season (and previously from 2017-20).

Week 2 of the preseason offers the Titans their only “primetime contest” of the year. Tennessee will host the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, August 23. FOX will carry the national broadcast from Nissan Stadium with kickoff slated for 7 p.m. CDT. The Titans were defeated by the Seahawks 30-24 in what was arguably Cam Ward’s breakout game.

The Titans’ preseason concludes on Saturday, Aug. 29, when they host Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears at 5 p.m. CDT. Ward is attempting to make a Williams-like sophomore season jump. Saleh has previously said the Titans’ starters will play all three preseason games.

The Titans will then be tasked with submitting their initial 53-man roster by Sunday, Aug. 30 at 6 p.m. ET, a few days earlier than usual. This represents a real challenge for the Titans. The deadline is less than 24 hours after their final preseason game ends.

Will the Titans begin trimming their 90-man offseason roster prior to kickoff versus the Bears? Typically, you’d want a plethora of preseason players available for the exhibition finale to limit reps for your starters to avoid any injuries before Week 1. Saleh and Mike Borgonzi will have to get creative. They may have to submit some cuts prior to the preseason finale given the quick turnaround time.

The Tennessee Titans unveiled their complete 2026 regular season schedule last week. Littered with storylines, starting with Robert Saleh and the New York Jets in Week 1, our eyes immediately diverted to the final home game. Whatever it is, it’s going to be the last game at the current iteration of Nissan Stadium.

The NFL did the Titans a solid. The final contest at Old Nissan Stadium will occur against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 on January 3rd. There are a ton of storylines in that game that make it a worthy finale before moving into New Nissan Stadium in 2027.

Aaron Rodgers just re-signed with the Steelers. There will obviously be a lot of conversation surrounding Coach Saleh and Rodgers heading into that game. Saleh coached him for multiple seasons with the Jets, and it started with Super Bowl aspirations, but ended ugly after complete disappointment.

There’s also the old-time Titans/Oilers-Steelers rivalry to consider. The Titans and Steelers played in the AFC Central division, igniting a long-lasting rivalry before the Houston Texans got their expansion team and the NFL realigned divisions to create the AFC South.

The Oilers lost to the Steelers in back-to-back AFC Championship Games in 1978 and 1979. Warren Moon and the Oilers lost a wild-card heartbreaker in overtime during the 1989 season. The Titans got their revenge in 2002, beating the Steelers 34-31 in overtime that featured a controversial running-into-the-kicker penalty on Joe Nedney.

The Titans and Steelers have a storied history together, dating back to the Oilers and AFC Central days. The Saleh and Rodgers storyline makes for a better modern-day storyline. The NFL knew exactly what it was doing when it scheduled the Steelers as the final opponent in the current iteration of Nissan Stadium.

Out with the old, in with the new.

]]> Justin Melo <![CDATA[The easiest stretch on the Tennessee Titans’ 2026 schedule]]> https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/?p=65450 2026-05-18T10:05:31-04:00 2026-05-18T13:30:00-04:00

The Tennessee Titans unveiled their complete 2026 season schedule on Thursday. The Robert Saleh era will begin by hosting the New York Jets in Week 1. They’ll then play the Philadelphia Eagles at Nissan Stadium in Week 2.

The rebuilding Titans are attempting to take a progressive step forward in 2026. The sophomore Cam Ward year should yield more than three victories in a season for the first time since 2023. If the Titans are to be more competitive this coming campaign, they’ll need to take advantage of easier stretches on the schedule.

We’ve identified the easiest three-game stretch on the schedule.

Week 15: Indianapolis Colts

The Titans will host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. It will be the divisional rematch after visiting Indianapolis in Week 6. The Colts are sorting through uncertainty with starter Daniel Jones returning from a devastating season-ending Achilles injury. The Titans need to start contending with an average Colts team in the AFC South.

Week 16: @ Las Vegas Raiders

Will the Las Vegas Raiders be starting rookie No. 1 overall quarterback Fernando Mendoza by the time they visit Tennessee in Week 16? Probably. There are rumors that Kirk Cousins may begin their season as the starter, but surely Mendoza will get into the lineup eventually. Teams that start rookie quarterbacks typically struggle. The Titans learned that the hard way last season.

Week 17: Pittsburgh Steelers

The final home game at the current iteration at Nissan Stadium will be against Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. The Rodgers-Saleh sidebar adds another intriguing layer to this pivotal moment in franchise history. The Steelers were awfully average with Rodgers in 2025 and it’d be surprising if they were significantly better in 2026. The Titans should take advantage of a favorable matchup at Old Nissan Stadium.

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.

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.

One thing we know for sure about the NFL is that we really have no idea which good teams will be in the upcoming season. That makes sitting here in May trying to predict a record for any team a dumb exercise, but hey, what else are we going to talk about in May?

On paper, the Titans’ schedule doesn’t look nearly as tough as the gauntlet they faced in 2025, but as I said above, what we think we know about teams right now will change a lot between now and when the games are actually played.

Here is the Tennessee Titans’ full 2026 schedule:

Week 1 – vs. New York Jets 12 PM

Week 2 – vs. Philadelphia Eagles 12 PM

Week 3 – @ New York Giants 12 PM

Week 4 – @ Baltimore Ravens 12 PM

Week 5 – vs. Houston Texans 12 PM

Week 6 – @ Indianapolis Colts

Week 7 – vs. Cleveland Browns 12 PM

Week 8 – @ Cincinnati Bengals 12 PM

Week 9 – BYE

Week 10 – vs. Jacksonville Jaguars 12 PM

Week 11 – @ Dallas Cowboys 12 PM

Week 12 – @ Jacksonville Jaguars 3:05 PM

Week 13 – vs. Washington Commanders 12 PM

Week 14 – Detroit Lions 12 PM

Week 15 – vs. Indianapolis Colts 12 PM

Week 16 – @ Las Vegas Raiders 3:05 PM

Week 17 – vs. Pittsburgh Steelers 12 PM

Week 18 – @ Houston Texans 12 PM

As for predictions, the Titans’ floor should be six wins. They get the benefit of playing rebuilding teams like the Raiders, Jets, and the perpetually rebuilding Browns. I’d have trouble putting the ceiling above 9 wins, but you can squint and see a world where the defense is really good, and Cam Ward takes a big step forward to get them past nine.

[UPDATE 2:41 PM] – The Cleveland Browns come to town week 7:

[UPDATE 12:42 PM] – Ocho Cinco, yes, that Ocho Cinco, has the Titans playing the Cincinnati Bengals in the Bengals 8th game. He doesn’t have their bye listed, so not sure if that will be week 8 or week 9:

[UPDATE 12:34 PM] – Sleeper Titans says the Philadelphia Eagles are coming to Nashville week 2:

[UPDATE 8:12 AM] – We have four games of the Titans 17 game schedule released to this point. They will host the New York Jets in week 1 at noon. They will travel to New York to take on the Giants at noon in week 3. The game against the Jaguars in Jacksonville will take place at 3:05 in week 12. In week 16, they will take on the Las Vegas Raiders on the road at 4:05.

The complete 2026 NFL Schedule is set to be released on Thursday. In the past couple of years, we have been able to piece together the full schedule for the Tennessee Titans before it is officially released. That will probably be the case again this year. If you aren’t already, you should be following @NerdingonNFL on Twitter. They do a great job of aggregating the leaks as they come out.

We already know the Titans’ opponents for 2026. We just don’t yet know the order in which the games will be played. As you know, each year the Titans play one full division from each conference. This year, they face the NFC East and the AFC North. Since the schedule moved from 16 to 17 games, they also get a random NFC opponent each year. This year, the team is the Detroit Lions.

Titans 2026 home opponents

  • Houston Texans
  • Indianapolis Colts
  • Jacksonville Jaguars
  • Cleveland Browns
  • Pittsburgh Steelers
  • Philadelphia Eagles
  • Washington Commanders
  • New York Jets

Titans 2026 road opponents

  • Houston Texans
  • Indianapolis Colts
  • Jacksonville Jaguars
  • Baltimore Ravens
  • Cincinnati Bengals
  • Dallas Cowboys
  • Detroit Lions
  • Las Vegas Raiders
  • New York Giants

I will update this thread with leaks of the Titans’ schedule as I see them. If you see one that isn’t listed yet, be sure to alert me to it in the comments.

Prediction time: Will the Titans get a prime time game this season?

The Tennessee Titans will once again face a last-place schedule in 2026. That means they will play the teams that finished last in the AFC East, AFC West, and NFC North. They will also take on every team in the AFC North and every team from the NFC East. Of course, as always, they will be taking on each team in the AFC South twice.

The whole last place schedule thing didn’t end up working out that well for them in 2025. They had to face the New England Patriots, who turned out to be one of the best teams in the league. That’s just the way things go from year to year in the NFL. Hopefully, at this time next year, teams are talking about the Titans as one of those teams that make a huge jump.

The only thing we don’t know at this point is the order the Titans will play these games. That will come out when the NFL does its schedule release at some point in May.

]]> Justin Melo <![CDATA[Titans will attempt to break this multi-year drought in Week 6]]> https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/?p=61983 2025-10-06T14:41:01-04:00 2025-10-10T07:30:00-04:00

The Tennessee Titans claimed their first victory of the 2025 campaign on Sunday, defeating the Arizona Cardinals 22-21 via thrilling fashion in Week 5. On Sunday, the Titans will attempt to achieve something they haven’t done in four seasons. If they defeat the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6, it’ll mark their first consecutive victories since 2022.

The Titans last won consecutive games over the Denver Broncos and Green Bay Packers on November 13/17 during the 2022 campaign. That Mike Vrabel-coached team was 7-3, but concluded the campaign losing seven straight to miss the postseason at 7-10. Vrabel’s 2023 Titans finished 6-11, never winning consecutive contests.

Brian Callahan’s debut season obviously went terribly. The Titans went 3-14. Their three victories occurred in Weeks 4, 9, and 12. They dropped their final six contests, helping them earn the No. 1 overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, and the right to draft Cam Ward, who already looks like a franchise quarterback.

Sunday represents a terrific opportunity for the Titans to end this lackluster multi-year streak. The Raiders share Tennessee’s record at 1-4. Though while the Titans are coming off an emotional and exciting victory, the Raiders are trending in the opposite direction, fresh off an embarrassing 40-6 defeat to the Indianapolis Colts.

The Raiders have dropped four straight contests. Their defense is allowing 27.8 points per outing. Starting quarterback Geno Smith has three multi-interception games this year, having thrown a league-leading nine interceptions.

Smith and the offense have failed to score more than 24 points throughout their ongoing losing streak. Twice, they’ve been held under 10 points. Pete Carroll’s struggling squad is searching for answers.

The Titans should also have JC Latham on Sunday. Hopefully the Week 5 victory over the Cardinals got players like Ward and Calvin Ridley trending in the right direction. If so, it could power the Titans to their first consecutive victories since 2022.

]]> Justin Melo <![CDATA[The 5 most exciting games on the Tennessee Titans’ 2025 schedule]]> https://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2025/5/16/24430984/the-5-most-exciting-games-on-the-tennessee-titans-2025-schedule 2025-05-16T07:00:00-04:00 2025-05-16T07:00:00-04:00

The Tennessee Titans released their 2025 schedule via a creative social media video on Wednesday. Among the storylines, rookie No. 1 overall quarterback Cam Ward will presumably make his debut on the road against the Denver Broncos in Week 1. The Titans don’t have any primetime games, play on Sunday’s only, and endure both a lengthy road and home stand.

Having analyzed the schedule in fine detail, we’ve identified the five most exciting matchups.

Week 2: Los Angeles Rams

Ward’s home opener will occur in Week 2 versus the Los Angeles Rams. If all goes according to plan, it’ll be the current Nissan Stadium’s second-last home opener. Ward’s Nashville debut promises to be an entertaining affair against Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford, a quarterback Titans head coach Brian Callahan previously coached for two seasons.

Week 7: New England Patriots

Former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel will return to Nashville in Week 7, now in charge of the New England Patriots. Vrabel was in charge for six campaigns, leading the Titans to four consecutive winning seasons, including an AFC Championship Game appearance and back-to-back division titles. It’ll mark the return of several former players and coaches, including Harold Landry III, Terrell Williams, Todd Downing, Ryan Cowden, and others.

Week 11: Houston Texans

The Titans won’t be wearing their Houston Oilers throwbacks versus the Texans this year, but their annual meeting at Nissan Stadium is always a keynote one for ownership. As abysmal as the Titans were last season, they actually defeated the Texans 32-27 in a Week 12 thriller. They then concluded the season on a six-game losing streak.

Week 16: Kansas City Chiefs

As mentioned, the Titans were one of just three teams to be denied a primetime game. The NFL’s VP of Broadcast Planning Mike North pointed out the Titans will possess an opportunity to play themselves into a primetime game, citing the Week 16 battle with the Kansas City Chiefs as a potential late-season flex. Hopefully it’s the first of several showdowns between Ward and Patrick Mahomes.

Week 18: Jacksonville Jaguars

The Week 18 regular-season finale is set between the Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars. Ideally, the Titans will be playing for something. If Tennessee’s postseason chances are alive, there’ll be significant hype surrounding the meeting in Jacksonville.
