The Baltimore Ravens enter 2026 with plenty of buzz around them, and the schedule now gives the season its shape. A revamped pass rush, young offensive coordinator Declan Doyle turning heads at training camp, and the recent four-year, $140 million extension for Zay Flowers have all added to the momentum.
So has the familiar reality that Lamar Jackson, a two-time MVP, is still being overlooked by the rest of the league. Under new head coach Jesse Minter, the mood at The Castle feels different, and the stated goal is as big as it gets: a run to the Super Bowl in 2026.
The first hurdle is a manageable one on paper. Baltimore’s regular-season slate ranks ninth-easiest based on last year’s results, and the Ravens’ win total is set at 11.5 at FanDuel Sportsbook. They cleared that number in both 2023 and 2024, and now they’ll try to do it again.
The early part of the calendar starts with preseason work before the games count. Baltimore hosts the Eagles on Saturday, August 15 at 7:00 p.m.
ET on WBAL, then visits the Vikings on Friday, August 22 at 1:00 p.m. ET on WBAL.
Once the regular season opens, the Ravens begin on the road against the Colts on Sunday, September 13 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS/Paramount +.
From there, they come home for the Saints on Sunday, September 20 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS/Paramount + before the unusual trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for a Week 3 meeting with the Cowboys on Sunday, September 27 at 4:25 p.m.
ET on CBS/Paramount +.
Baltimore’s October stretch is packed with familiar AFC noise. The Titans come to town on Sunday, October 4 at 1:00 p.m.
ET on CBS/Paramount +, then the Ravens head to Atlanta to face the Falcons on Sunday, October 11 at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC/Peacock in Sunday Night Football.
After that, it’s a road trip to Cleveland on Sunday, October 18 at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX, followed by a home game against the Bengals on Sunday, October 25 at 1:00 p.m.
ET on CBS/Paramount +.
November brings a tougher-looking run and a couple of prime-time spots. Baltimore travels to Buffalo on Sunday, November 1 at 1:00 p.m.
ET on CBS/Paramount +, then hosts the Jaguars on Thursday, November 5 at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video for Thursday Night Football.
The Chargers come in on Monday, November 16 at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN for Monday Night Football, before the Ravens visit Carolina on Sunday, November 22 at 1:00 p.m.
ET on FOX and then Houston on Sunday, November 29 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS/Paramount+.
The bye lands in Week 13, and Baltimore returns in mid-December for a home matchup with the Buccaneers on Sunday, December 13 at 1:00 p.m. ET on FOX.
The stretch run then sends the Ravens to Pittsburgh on Sunday, December 20 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS/Paramount+ and brings the Browns back to Baltimore on Sunday, December 27 at 1:00 p.m.
ET on CBS/Paramount+.
Week 17 is not listed, and Week 18 finishes with the Steelers in Baltimore, with the time, date and network still to be determined.
All games will also be broadcast on radio via 97.9 FM and 1090 AM.

Lamar Jackson Just Got Another Reason To Silence NFL Doubters
Lamar Jackson has spent enough of his NFL career answering questions about whether he can keep evolving, and the latest quarterback rankings only add another layer to that conversation. League coaches and executives placed him fifth in The Athletics annual ranking, a one-spot drop from the year before, even as his game has continued to shift away from the relentless rushing volume that defined the start of his career and toward a more polished passing profile.
The bigger issue for Baltimore is whether a healthier version of Jackson can reclaim the edge that injuries took away in 2025. His production dipped after a season that never really let him settle in, but the offseason should give him a cleaner runway heading into 2026, along with a new offensive coordinator and the chance to remind the league how quickly the conversation changes when he is right.

Ravens Camp Is Already Creating A Few Early Roster Risers
The first week of Ravens training camp has already sharpened a few roster battles, and some players have started to separate themselves in the kind of early look that can matter once the pads stay on. Ja'Kobi Lane, Lamar Jackson and Matt Hibner have been among the names drawing attention for strong starts, while Elijah Sarratt has had a quieter opening as he tries to make himself harder to ignore in a crowded setting.
Nate Wiggins has also been building momentum with his work in the secondary, giving Baltimore a young defensive back worth watching as the camp competition unfolds. On the other side of the ledger, Corey Bullock has been unavailable because of illness, leaving him behind the curve at a time when every practice rep counts, and the early evaluations are still just that, an opening snapshot rather than a final answer.

Derrick Henry Just Invoked The Ravens Standard Fans Never Forget
Derrick Henry did not tiptoe around expectations when he spoke with Kay Adams on Up and Adams, and for Ravens fans, the comparison he chose carries real weight. The veteran running back pointed to the defense working hard in camp and said this group has the kind of talent and mindset that could stack up with Baltimores celebrated 2000 unit, the defense that still serves as the franchise standard for dominance.
For a team chasing its first Super Bowl in the Lamar Jackson era, that kind of confidence is more than offseason talk. The Ravens have added key players and coaching help to sharpen a roster built to contend, and Henrys comments only amplify the pressure and the promise around what this defense could become if it lives up to the name he invoked.
