2026 New York Jets season

67th season in franchise history; 57th season in the NFL From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2026 season is the New York Jets' 57th in the National Football League (NFL), their 67th overall and their second under general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn. They are attempting to improve on their 3–14 record from 2025, make the playoffs after a 15-year absence, end their 23-year AFC East title drought, and put an end to 10 consecutive losing records. They opened their 2026 campaign by beating the Titans, led by their former head coach Robert Saleh, on the road, 23–10, to win their first season opener since the 2023 season.
