Buffalo Bills: 2026 NFL Kickoff Guide

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will be under center as the team enters the 2026 NFL season. The franchise plans to leverage a new stadium and its fresh leadership to achieve greater success. With the termination of head coach Sean McDermott, former offensive coordinator Joe Brady steps into the role to guide Allen and his teammates to the Super Bowl. This change follows seven consecutive seasons of early playoff exits.

The NFL season starts with an exciting matchup. The New England Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday, September 9, in a repeat of last season’s Super Bowl LX. Fans can tune in for the live coverage starting at 7 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.
