The Tennessee Titans have rolled out their full 2026 schedule, setting the stage for a goodbye tour at the current Nissan Stadium. The team opens its final regular season at the riverfront with a Sept. 13 noon kickoff against the New York Jets, then sticks around for another home date on Sept. 20. The last regular-season home game in the old building is slated for Jan. 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers before the franchise shifts to its new digs in 2027.
Schedule highlights and local dates
Back-to-back home games to start the year on Sept. 13 vs. the Jets and Sept. 20 vs. the Eagles mark the first time the club has opened with consecutive home contests since 2010, according to the Tennessee Titans. The schedule also circles Jan. 3 against the Steelers as the final regular-season home game at the current Nissan Stadium and sends Tennessee on the road to Baltimore, Dallas and Detroit, while keeping the usual AFC South meetings with Houston, Indianapolis and Jacksonville.
Preseason TV and tickets
The preseason slate includes a nationally televised home game against the defending-champion Seattle Seahawks on Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. on FOX, as reported by WZTV. Single-game tickets, season packages and multi-game bundles are already on sale through Ticketmaster and the team’s box office for fans looking to lock in their spot for the farewell run.
Final season, new stadium countdown
The 2026 campaign doubles as a countdown to what comes next. The new enclosed Nissan Stadium is on track for completion in February 2027, and Titans president Burke Nihill told reporters the club expects to "get keys to this building in February," per the Associated Press. A topping-out ceremony last November, attended by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, highlighted the city’s push to have the new venue ready for the 2027 season.
What fans should plan for
Fans can expect heavy demand and some crowded Sundays downtown. Premium spaces tied to the new stadium have been selling briskly and some clubs reportedly sold out. Anyone heading to 1 Titans Way this season would be wise to secure tickets early and build in extra time for parking and riverfront traffic on game days as Nashville packs out the old place one more time.
