Indianapolis will unveil the Colts schedule 2026 tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. ET, when the team’s opponents, dates and kickoff times are released on NFL Network, Colts.com and the Official Colts App. Fans who want first access to single-game tickets can join the Colts Single Game Priority List at Colts.com/priority before sales open.
The schedule release will put the Colts’ 2026 home slate in focus, and it is a busy one. Indianapolis will play eight regular-season home games and two preseason games at Lucas Oil Stadium, with Baltimore, Cincinnati, Dallas, Miami and New York among the visitors. The Colts will also play Washington in London, giving them their third regular-season game in Europe in four seasons.
That Europe stretch has become part of the team’s recent identity. The Colts played in Frankfurt in 2023 and Berlin in 2025, and the London trip in 2026 extends that run while giving the club another high-profile international stage. For fans back home, the release also sets the clock on the next chance to buy individual tickets, a detail that tends to matter as much as the dates themselves once the league’s schedule is finally public.
The 2026 announcement follows a familiar pattern for Indianapolis, which unveiled its 2025 regular-season schedule Wednesday night. That schedule opened with a home game against Miami on Sept. 7 and later brought San Francisco to Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 16, the Colts’ first Monday Night Football appearance since 2022. In the 2025 preseason, Indianapolis hosted Green Bay at home and traveled to Baltimore and Cincinnati, a reminder that the league’s scheduling rhythm is rarely gentle even before the games count.
What comes next is simple enough: once the 2026 slate is public, the first scramble shifts to tickets, travel plans and the kind of calendar math that turns a fan base into amateur planners overnight. For Indianapolis, the schedule release is not just a list of games. It is the first real map of a season that will be shaped by five home opponents, one transatlantic trip and the wait for the first kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium.
