The NFL is set to unveil its full schedule for the 2026‑2027 season on May 14, a date that will mark the start of a busy planning period for teams, broadcasters and fans alike.
Just a day earlier, on May 13, the league will reveal the slate of international games that will take the sport beyond U.S. borders, underscoring its ambition to grow a truly global fan base.
International Games Expand the NFL's Horizons
Nine regular‑season contests are slated to be played across four continents, seven countries and eight stadiums, a scale that reflects the league’s expanding footprint.
The first of those marquee matchups will be a Sunday Night Football showdown on September 13, featuring the New York Giants against the Dallas Cowboys at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Both franchises missed the playoffs in the previous season, but each enters the new campaign with renewed optimism and a desire to climb back into contention.
Dak Prescott is expected to lead the Cowboys' offense, while the Giants will look to Jaxson Dart to bring fresh energy to their quarterback room.
Broadcast and Streaming Details
Fans will be able to watch the games and related coverage on NBC, which holds the U.S. broadcast rights, as well as on Peacock, the network’s streaming platform. International broadcasts will be coordinated through the league’s partnership network, ensuring that viewers in markets such as London, Madrid, Paris, Munich, Rio de Janeiro, Melbourne and Mexico City can tune in live.
