2026 Tennessee Titans season

67th season in franchise history; last in Nissan Stadium From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2026 season is the Tennessee Titans' 57th in the National Football League (NFL), their 67th overall, their 30th in the state of Tennessee, their second under general manager Mike Borgonzi, and their first under head coach Robert Saleh. They will seek to improve upon their record of 3–14 from the past two seasons and end their four-year drought of both a playoff appearance and an AFC South title. This is Saleh's second head coaching job; he was previously the head coach of the Jets from 2021 to the first 5 games of their 2024 season. In a scheduling coincidence, the Titans began the Robert Saleh era by losing to them.

This is scheduled to be the final season in which the Titans will play their home games at their current Nissan Stadium, as the new stadium, also to be called Nissan Stadium, is scheduled to be completed by the start of the 2027 season.[1]

On March 12, 2026, the Titans revealed new uniforms; this is their first uniform change since 2018.[2] Along with the uniforms, the team also unveiled a new logo, eliminating the flames from the previous logo. The colors of the uniforms and logo were also changed to reflect the original colors of the Houston Oilers.[3] This season began with the team's third 0–3 start in as many seasons.

Coaching changes

On October 13, 2025, head coach Brian Callahan was fired by the Titans following a 1–5 start to the 2025 season for the second consecutive year.[4][5] Mike McCoy was promoted to interim head coach, leading the Titans to a 2–9 record to conclude the season.[6][7]

On January 22, 2026, the Titans hired Robert Saleh as their new head coach.[8]

On January 27, 2026, the Titans hired former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll to be the team's offensive coordinator.
