If you’re a Gang Green fan who loves 1 p.m. games, you’re in luck this upcoming season.

The Jets are one of five teams — Titans, Raiders, Cardinals and Dolphins — that did not receive a single primetime game after the schedule was released on Thursday night.

In addition, the Jets also do not have a single 4:25 p.m. game in 2026. They are only scheduled to have two 4:05 p.m. games — against the Chargers and Cardinals, both on the road.

After the league changed the rule in 2023 that every team had to receive a primetime game, NFL Vice President of Broadcasting Planning Mike North said on a conference call on Friday, the Jets and other teams will still have a chance to play their way into a national window late in the season.

“The truth is, it isn’t just about primetime,” North said. “I know there’s a lot of chatter, yesterday, today, about how many primetime appearances this team gets, why didn’t we get more primetimes. It’s also about the 4:25 national television window on Sunday afternoon on CBS and FOX, still our most-watched window.

“So, maybe you didn’t get as many primes as you wanted, but a couple of 4:25 [p.m.] windows are still gonna end up being more widely viewed, maybe more than primetime games.”

Last season was an unmitigated disaster for the Jets, who finished 3-14 and began 0-7 before winning their first game against the Bengals in Week 8. Not only did the Jets lose their final five games of the 2025 season — each by at least 23 points, making NFL history — but they also lost by a combined 134 points during the same span.

Because of that, it is easy to see why the Jets didn’t receive a single primetime game in 2026. Last season, the Jets had two primetime games — a Monday Night Football division game against the Dolphins on the road in Week 4 and a matchup against the Patriots on Thursday Night Football in Week 13. They lost both.

In 2024, the league gifted the Jets a league-high six primetime games, largely because of Aaron Rodgers and his long-awaited return after tearing his Achilles tendon the year prior. Translation: if the Jets are going to play on primetime this year, they will have to earn it by their performance on the field.

On paper, the Jets appear to be a better team after making several acquisitions this offseason. They added Geno Smith in a March trade with the Raiders. The Jets also selected David Bailey, Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr., in the first round of April’s draft.

In Week 1, the Jets will see a familiar face in Titans coach Robert Saleh, who was fired as Jets coach in 2024, five games into the season. A year ago, the league pitted the Jets against the Steelers in a similar revenge matchup, vs. Rodgers, who had been released months earlier.

The good news for the Jets is that the NFL will begin flex scheduling for “Sunday Night Football” in Weeks 5-10, and they can use it twice during that span. Also in Weeks 11-17, the league will use flex scheduling as needed.

Thursday Night Football games can also be flexed during Weeks 13-17 and may be done only twice from Week 14-16. Traditional Sunday afternoon games that air on CBS or FOX can also be moved between the 1 p.m., 4:05 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. time slots.

“Relative to a team like the Jets, the Cardinals or anybody else, the Titans, who felt like they didn’t get as much national television exposure as they were hoping to, that’s what flexible scheduling is for,” North said.

“That’s why we put it in, that’s why we work with our partners every year to ensure that teams that have played their way into bigger television windows have an opportunity to be rewarded when we get into November and December. There’s still an opportunity for a Broncos/Jets game in Week 14 if that game has playoff implications, might still find its way to 60%, 65% of the country in the 1 p.m. window.”
