The Tennessee Titans hired a new head coach in January and then drew the New York Jets in Week 1. Robert Saleh used to run the Jets. It is an odd way to be introduced to a new job, and it is the first line of a season in which almost everything on the coaching side has changed.

The live modules on this page are supplied by the league feed, so scores, standings, the roster and statistical leaders keep themselves up to date. What follows is the material that holds for the whole year: the new staff, the fixture list, an unusual absence from the TV schedule, and a stadium reaching the end of its life.

Robert Saleh Opens Against His Old Club

Tennessee finished 2025 at 3-14. Brian Callahan was dismissed on October 13 with the record at 1-5, and Mike McCoy took the rest of the season as interim, going 2-9. That is the ground the new staff inherited.

Saleh was appointed in January and brought experience with him. Brian Daboll, a former Giants head coach, calls the offense. Gus Bradley arrived from San Francisco to run the defense, and John Fassel takes special teams. Two men who have been NFL head coaches now sit in the top two offices.

Saleh and Bradley are not strangers. They have shared a staff at three previous clubs, in Seattle, in Jacksonville and most recently in San Francisco, which is a longer working history than most head coach and coordinator pairings begin with. Cam Ward, the first overall pick a year ago, enters his second season taking the snaps.

Tennessee Titans 2026 Games and Kickoff Times

The seventeen fixtures are set out below with Eastern start times. Nashville keeps Central time, so take an hour off each figure for the clock at the ground. Opponent names open the individual game pages.

Only the Week 18 line is unsettled. The league confirms that date once Week 17 is played, and flexible scheduling could still lift a Sunday afternoon fixture into a later window.

A Season Without a Single Night Game

Tennessee has no prime time fixture in 2026. Not a Sunday night, not a Monday night, not a Thursday. Every dated game kicks at either 1:00 PM or 4:05 PM Eastern, and CBS and FOX carry all sixteen of them between them.

That is what a 3-14 season buys a club when the networks pick their windows. It also makes the calendar simple for supporters, because the only two games that break from the early slot are the December trips to Jacksonville and Las Vegas.

The Week 16 opponent is in the same position. Las Vegas also goes through 2026 without a prime time appearance, so two clubs the networks passed over meet each other after Christmas. Where that leaves everyone is on the NFL standings page.

The Last Year in This Nissan Stadium

Nissan Stadium holds 69,143 on the east bank of the Cumberland River in Nashville, looking back at downtown. The eight home dates in 2026 are the last the club will play in this building, with a replacement rising alongside it.

The eight are the Jets, Philadelphia, Houston, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Washington, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, with the bye landing in Week 9. Nine games are on the road, including the Week 18 finale in Houston.

The roster panel higher up the page mirrors the active 53 as the league records it, so signings and injury designations appear there without this page being touched.

Tennessee Titans FAQ

The Tennessee Titans start again with two former head coaches in the top two offices, a second year quarterback taken first overall, and a schedule the networks left entirely in the afternoon. Eight home dates close out the building the club has used since 1999.
