The Tennessee Titans haven’t officially announced their preseason opponents yet, but at NFL league meetings in Arizona on March 31, coach Robert Saleh might have revealed one of them.
Saleh said the Titans are planning to host the Carolina Panthers at Nissan Stadium for a joint practice during training camp. The joint practice would likely proceed a preseason game between the two teams, though Saleh isn’t completely sure when that would be.

“I’m a big proponent of joint practices,” Saleh said. “My hope is that, I think we’re scheduled to have one with Carolina. I don’t know who our Week 1 and Week 3 opponents are going to be. I think (Carolina) is Week 2. The schedule hasn’t come out, but that’s what we asked for. I don’t know who the two other opponents are, but I’ll definitely ask to see if we can get a joint practice with those guys also.”

The Titans’ schedule for 2026 has yet to be announced with dates and times but will include eight home games and nine road games, meaning they’ll host two preseason games in Nashville with the other away from home. This season will be the final one at Nissan Stadium before the team moves into the new Titans stadium in 2027.
Carolina went 8-9 in 2025 but won the NFC South, becoming the fifth team in NFL history to reach the playoffs with a losing record in a non-strike-shortened season. The Panthers lost to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC wild card game.
