Colts Open 2026 Season with a Baltimore Showdown
The Indianapolis Colts will open their 2026 regular season on Sunday, September 13, when they host the Baltimore Ravens at Lucas Oil Stadium. The game marks the first of eight home contests the team will play at the venue, complemented by two preseason appearances that will also be held in Indianapolis.
Beyond the domestic slate, the Colts are slated to appear in a series of international fixtures that will take them to London, Madrid, Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Munich and Mexico City. A Week 4 matchup against the Washington Commanders will be staged at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, giving fans in the United Kingdom a chance to see the team in action on home soil.
Single‑game tickets for the Colts’ home games will become available on May 14 at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Fans who want early access can sign up for the Colts Single Game Priority List at Colts.com/priority, where they will be placed ahead of the general public in the ticket queue.
The home schedule features contests against the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins and New York Giants, while the preseason will also be played at Lucas Oil Stadium. Each of these games contributes to a competitive slate that blends division rivals with high‑profile interconference matchups.
