On To Cincinnati (2026 Bucs Schedule Leaks, Rumors)
May 14th, 2026
Hello Joe.
[UPDATE: 1:33 p.m.] Here are Joe’s leaks/reports so far on the Bucs’ 2026 schedule.
Thanks to Bruno Mars (Joe has nothing against the entertainer) the Bucs will travel in Week 1 on Sunday, Sept. 13. And as Bill Belicheat would say, it’s on to Cincinnati!
The Bucs will open the season against Joe Burrow and the Bengals in their riverfront jungle, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
All those nickel corners the Bucs have will get a test right away to start the 2026 season.
[UPDATE: 12:13 p.m.] MEMO TO PECAN LODGE: Joe’s coming in early October! Per John Breech of CBS, the Bucs will play the Cowboys Week 5 (Oct. 8) on Thursday Night Football seen on Amazon. Yeah, another primetime game. We all know how that will turn out. Hey, at least the brisket and beef ribs at Pecan Lodge and/or Hutchins will be dynamite! (And yes, Joe might also try to squeeze in a trip to Hard Eight. When in Texas… )
[UPDATE: 12:43 p.m.] Per John Breech of CBS, Bucs host the Stinking Panthers on Week 12 (Nov. 30) on Monday Night Football.
[UPDATE: 1:26 p.m.] Time to melt the cheese. Per SI.com, the Packers come to Florida to play the Bucs in Week 4 (Oct 4) when it is still nice and hot. Per this report, it’s a 1 p.m. kickoff. Anyone need gooey cheddar cheese on that brat?
