The games that stand out
The opener puts new Titans head coach Robert Saleh against the Jets, the team he coached from 2021 through 2024. Philadelphia then visits Nashville before Tennessee makes its first road trip of the season to face the Giants in Week 3.
Week 4 sends the Titans to Baltimore for their first game against Derrick Henry since the running back left Tennessee after the 2023 season. Three weeks later, Tennessee hosts Cleveland.
The Week 9 bye separates the first half from a division-heavy November. Tennessee plays Jacksonville twice in three weeks, at home in Week 10 and on the road in Week 12.
The Titans host Pittsburgh on January 3, then finish the schedule at Houston in Week 18, with the date, time and network to be announced after Week 17.
How to watch
CBS carries 10 of Tennessee’s 16 games with announced network assignments. FOX carries the other six. Sunday-afternoon availability can vary by local market.
The Titans do not currently have a scheduled Thursday-, Sunday- or Monday-night game. That can change: eligible Sunday-afternoon games may be moved into national windows under the NFL’s flex rules, and afternoon kickoff times or network assignments may also be adjusted.
Week 18 is intentionally unassigned. The NFL will set the date, time and network for Titans-Texans after Week 17.
