The full schedule for the New York Giants have been leaked and there are a few things that pop up to the eye. For instance, John Harbaugh‘s era as head coach with the team will open with two primetime games.
Week 1 will see the Giants host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. That will be followed by a Monday Night Football showdown away at the Los Angeles Rams. Two blockbuster, tough games, for John Harbaugh to open the season on national TV. The leak was reported by Bobby Skinner of Giants Nation.
The Titans will visit the Giants in Week 3, with the Cardinals paying a visit to them in Week 4. Week 5 presents an away game to divisional rivals the Commanders. The Giants host the Saints in Week 6, while Week 7 is an away game at Houston. Then Week 8 provides the Giants with the Bye Week.
The second half of the season is a tough one for the NY Giants
After the bye, they visit the Eagles in Week 9. A home primetime game comes in Week 10 with the Commanders on Thursday Night Football. They face two AFC South opponents in a row as they host the Jaguars in Week 11, and visit the Colts in Week 12.

The following games are two NFC West games. Week 13 is vs. 49ers, and Week 14 is a visit to Super Bowl champions, the Seahawks. In Week 15, the Giants host the Browns. The team will play the final primetime game of their season on Monday Night Football at Detroit. They close the season with two divisional games, at Cowboys and vs. Eagles.
Giants strength of schedule is in the middle of the pack
Based on 2025 opponent winning percentages, the Giants face the 17th-toughest schedule in the 2026 NFL season. Their opponents combined for a 49.8 winning percentage. However, as you can see by how the weeks will go by, the first half is arguably easier than the second.
Teams like the Titans, Cardinals, Saints, and Commanders all had terrible 2025 seasons. In fact, the Giants just face two postseason teams before the bye (Rams and Texans), though both are away from home. In the second half, they face five playoff teams, plus away games vs Colts and Lions, who are poised to be playoff teams.
