Our Strength of Schedule Rankings offer the best full-season look at what NFL teams face in 2026, but that does not tell the full story.
Our new Strength of Schedule Tool fills the gaps, allowing you to see the week-to-week difficulty for all 32 teams across more than 10 metrics, including Warren Sharp's strength of schedule model.
This tool allows you to see which teams are set up for early success with a light opening schedule, which teams have a gauntlet to close the year, and much more for multiple advanced metrics.
Use the tabs below to explore your team's week-by-week schedule difficulty, compare all 32 teams in the league rankings chart, or see how the 2026 slate compares to what teams faced in 2025.

How We Calculate NFL Strength of Schedule
The metrics in this tool are built on Warren Sharp's strength of schedule model, which uses 2026 Vegas projected win totals to measure opponent quality.
Vegas lines incorporate current information that prior-year records leave out, including offseason acquisitions, coaching changes, injuries, and projected roster development.
