Thursday the NFL released the entire 2026 regular season schedule.
As some might call it, last night was Super Bowl Thursday for the 32 social media departments.
Here is every schedule release video, for your enjoyment.
For the Cardinals release video, mascot Big Red gathered fellow mascots to unveil the schedule in a Zoom meeting. At least, that’s what it looked like:
The Falcons tapped into the nostalgia over the classic “This is SportsCenter” commercials, featuring a lot of former quarterback — and current President of Football — Matt Ryan.
The “get [bleeping] set” moment is worth your time:
If you loved Wedding Crashers, then you’ll love the Ravens release video, featuring wide receiver Zay Flowers and Poe, the team mascot, crashing fans’ weddings:
Imagine, if you will, a roundtable brainstorming session that ends on a giant chrysalis being the best idea, courtesy of Josh Allen.
That is what the Bills came up with:
When all else fails, just blow some stuff up.
Rome Odunze as Bob Ross? Inspired.
The Bengals’ schedule release felt much like a high-dollar movie trailer, leaning in to cinematic effects while emphasizing the team’s journey the past few years.
With a whole lot of Joe Burrow:
Speaking of nostalgia, the Cleveland Browns put together a video inspired by the Street Fighter franchise:
The Cowboys have three Tylers along the offensive line: Tyler Smith, Tyler Guyton, and Tyler Booker.
So … meet the “Tyler Intelligence Agency:”
Just Peyton Manning and his daughter flipping channels on TV while sitting on the couch. Nothing to see here … except for the commercials:
Is Dan Campbell mad? Because Dan Campbell seems mad, and someone you do not want to give bulletin-board material to.
As media members question the Lions through a voice over, Campbell simply puts the schedule on a bulletin board.
Welcome to Kickin’ Curds Arcade, where Packers stars (in claymation form) play video games and handle challenges based on their 2026 opponenets:
If you’ve ever wanted to see Brian Cushing getting increasingly madder and madder, the Houston Texans have a schedule release video for you:
Simpsons video? Check. This release is filled with some incredible references to the long-running show as well as the Colts’ 2026 schedule.
And yes, there is a couch gag.
DID THEY REALLY CUT HIS HAIR?
Welcome to QVChiefs, the “Kingdom Schedule Release Shopping Network.” Here you can purchase products related to Chiefs’ opponents such as “rare Mile High Air,” an “Indestruct-Bill Tailgate Table,” and more.
And kudos to Rob Riggle and Lisa Gilroy, they kinda crushed this:
If you’ve ever thought about Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza as an NFL version of Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in Step Brothers well, you’re in luck!
The Chargers social media department did it again with this Halo-themed video. The release is filled with references, inside jokes and yes, subtle nods to the Mike Vrabel/Dianna Russini saga:
Like other teams, the Los Angeles Rams went retro with this video inspired by Napoleon Dynamite,“ with some tots to kick it off:
“Mr. Ross wants to see you.”
No, not Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, but musician Rick Ross:
In this release video, Vikings kicker Will Reichard orders every dish on this “restaurant’s” menu: Culinary offerings based on each Minnesota opponent this season.
Such as the “Wings Mafia,” Buffalo wings described as having “table-breaking flavor, lathered in ketchup and mustard:”
If you ever wanted to see Patriots players such as cornerback Christian Gonzalez riding coasters at Six Flags New England and listing the schedule, you’re in luck.
If that sounds like something you never wanted to see … we understand:
If you are going with a weather theme, you need one thing.
Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel.
Three words: Winston Van Gogh.
Honestly, when I first started watching this video on Thursday night I was not a fan. But after a few of the team releases, it clicked.
This might be one of the better ones from this season. Just give it a chance, and pay attention to the names of each color used:
Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Jordan Davis, Jordan Mailata, and Jihaad Campbell get together to unveil the matchups and/or start a podcast:
Follow a Steelers security guard on their first day at work, and “yinzify your DNA” along the way:
The 49ers paid tribute to their 80th anniversary season in a release video ripped from Full House and other sitcoms from times gone by:
The Seahawks created a commercial filled with a fake fragrance for each team and trust us, you need to see the one for the Eagles. Or the one for the 49ers, which is not the only nod from a team towards the electric substation next to their practice facility.
The entire video is great, but those moments certainly stand out:
Imagine Baywatch, but with comedian Bert Kreischer, offensive lineman Cody Mauch, and tight end Ko Kieft as the lifeguards:
While the Chargers are considered the leaders in the “schedule release wars,” the Titans have certainly closed the gap in recent years. When they took to the Nashville streets to ask fans to identify their opponents based on the logo it was schedule release gold, and the Titans used a similar format this year, finding lookalikes for people associated with their 2026 opponents.
But the fun did not stop there:
Welcome to the “Commanders Science Fair,” with Jacory Croskey-Merritt (also known as Bill), in the role of Bill Nye the Science Guy.
Again, there is another reference to the 49ers substation conspiracy theory:

So, the videos are all out right now.
Which was your favorite?
As someone who logged (and continued to log) lots of hours in Halo, I do have a soft spot for what the Chargers did. Chicago’s nod to Bob Ross was nice too.
And I did like the Panthers just blowing stuff up. Very “Michael Bay”
What about you all?
