Jacksonville Jaguars: 2026 Schedule & Season Tracker

The complete 2026 slate with rest edges and schedule context, the 2025 ledger, and the franchise record since 1999 — every number computed from the bundled nflverse game log.

By C. B. Zakarian · Updated July 29, 2026

The Jacksonville Jaguars enter 2026 off a 13–4 season. Their 2026 opponents went a combined 141–147–1 in 2025 (a .490 strength of schedule, 22 of 32 — the naive prior-year method, whose real forecast error we measured here). The calendar hands them a net rest differential of -3 days (22 of 32), with week 8 (+7), week 10 (-4), week 11 (-3), week 13 (-3); the bye falls in week 7, they play 1 Thursday game, and 2 of their final four games are divisional. Rest-edge context lives in the schedule-quirks explainer.

The 2025 ledger

Final record 13–4, 474 points scored against 336 allowed (+138). Home 7–2, road 6–2. One-score games (decided by 8 or fewer): 6–3 — the split most likely to regress either way, per the Pythagorean explainer.

Franchise baseline, 1999–2025

Across the 27 seasons in our game log the franchise is 180–257 (.412). Best season in the window: 1999 (14–2); leanest: 2020 (1–15). Franchise moves are joined under the current code (JAX), so older seasons include predecessor cities where applicable.
