The Indianapolis Colts are gearing up for the 2026 NFL season with a schedule that, on paper, looks favorable—but as any fan knows, games aren't won on paper. After finishing 2025 with an 8-9 record and a disappointing 2-6 mark on the road, the Colts have plenty to prove. They'll need to turn their away-game struggles around if they want to make noise this year, especially with nine games set to be played outside Lucas Oil Stadium.
Fortunately, history is on their side. The Colts have a deep and storied rivalry with every team on their 2026 slate, and they're eager to write a new chapter after last season's bitter end. Let's break down how Indy has fared all-time against each opponent they'll face this year.
Houston Texans
Since their first meeting in 2002, the Colts have owned this matchup, racking up 33 all-time wins against the Texans. With a home-and-home series on tap, Indianapolis will look to add two more victories. But it won't be easy—Houston boasts one of the league's most elite defenses. Still, the Colts have historically dominated this AFC South rival, and they'll aim to continue that trend in 2026.
Jacksonville Jaguars
The Colts have beaten the Jaguars 28 times overall, but there's a glaring issue: they haven't won a game in Jacksonville since 2014. That's a drought that needs to end. This year, Indy travels to Duval County with a serious chip on their shoulder. The two teams will clash twice in 2026, and the Colts are hungry to finally silence the road woes against the Jags.
Tennessee Titans
Few rivalries in the NFL carry as much drama as Colts vs. Titans. Tennessee struggled mightily last season, but they're expected to be a much tougher out in 2026. Despite that, Indianapolis has historically had the upper hand, consistently getting the better of their division foes. The Colts will need to sweep both matchups to stay competitive in the AFC South, and their past success suggests they're more than capable.
From the comfort of your favorite Colts gear—whether it's a vintage throwback or the latest sideline style—you can follow every snap of this historic season. Get ready to cheer on Indianapolis as they look to turn their all-time records into winning momentum.
