Will it include any games overseas?<\/p>\n
As of yet, the Buccaneers have not been linked to any of the nine international games this season. The team’s last game outside of the United States was a 2022 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Munich, Germany.<\/p>\n
How many prime-time games will be on Tampa Bay’s schedule?<\/p>\n
Since the 2020 season, the Buccaneers have been scheduled for an average of exactly four prime-time games per year, including exactly four in each of the past two years. However, the Bucs’ streak of postseason appearances was snapped last year.<\/p>\n
When will the Bucs’ home opener occur?<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay has only started its season at home once in the last four seasons, and in two of those four years the team actually started with a pair of road outings.<\/p>\n
Where will the intradivision games be concentrated?<\/p>\n
In 2025, the Buccaneers opened with a game at Atlanta but then did not play another game against an NFC South opponent until Week Eight. Four of the Bucs’ five final games last season were against division foes.<\/p>\n
Will the Bucs be included in the Thanksgiving Day schedule this season?<\/p>\n
Tampa Bay has only played on Thanksgiving once, at Dallas in 2006. It’s worth noting that the Bucs’ 2026 schedule includes road games at both Dallas and Detroit, which annually host two of the three Thanksgiving games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will it include any games overseas?
