2026 NFL Bye Weeks
2026 NFL bye weeks, updated Jul 26, 2026. All 32 teams have one bye, spread across Weeks 5 through 14. Week 5: CAR, KC. Week 6: CIN, DET, MIA, MIN. Week 7: BUF, JAX, LAC, WAS. Week 8: HOU, NO, NYG, SF. Week 9: PIT, TEN. Week 10: CHI, DEN, PHI, TB. Week 11: ATL, CLE, GB, LAR, NE, SEA. Week 13: BAL, IND, LV, NYJ. Week 14: ARI, DAL. Derived from the official 2026 regular-season schedule (nflverse).
Byes matter at the draft in two ways. Stacking your top two running backs on the same bye costs you a week you can't cover, and a receiver whose bye lands in the fantasy playoff weeks is a different asset than one whose bye is in September. Both lists below are the same data — pick whichever way you think.
