Mark your calendars, Colts fans—the full 2026 NFL schedule drops on Thursday, May 14th, but the rumor mill is already heating up. While we've known the list of home and away opponents for months, the exact game dates, primetime slots, and travel logistics are still under wraps. And as always, a few juicy leaks are starting to trickle out before the official release.

Here's the biggest buzz so far: according to NFL Nerd, the Colts are reportedly headed across the pond in Week 4 for a showdown with the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Stadium in London. If confirmed, this would mark Indianapolis's first international game since 2016 and add a unique travel challenge to their season.

Looking at the bigger picture, the Colts are projected to have one of the easier strength-of-schedules in the NFL next year—but as any seasoned fan knows, the calendar can make or break a season. Back-to-back road trips, short weeks, and cold-weather December games can turn a "soft" schedule into a minefield. We recently broke down three key things to watch for once the schedule lands, along with a ranking of the toughest opponents Indy will face.

Stay tuned right here as we track every leak, rumor, and official announcement. Whether you're planning your game-day gear or just dreaming of playoff runs, we've got you covered.
