The Miami Dolphins are scheduled for zero primetime games during the 2026 NFL season, marking the first time the team has not been nationally televised since the 2008 season \u2014 a year removed from the team\u2019s disastrous 1-15 year in 2007.<\/p>\n
However, on Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reported that the team\u2019s preseason contest against the New York Giants on Saturday, August 22nd will be aired live on NFL Network at 4:00 P.M.<\/p>\n
Jackson correctly pointed out that the game will be a scorching affair, as temperatures in Miami average nearly 90\u00b0F during that time of year. However, with a regular season win not on the line, it seems new Giants head coach John Harbaugh was just fine with playing in steamy South Florida during Week 2 of the preseason.<\/p>\n
Once the regular season does kick off, the Dolphins will not play at home until Week 3 when the Kansas City Chiefs visit Hard Rock Stadium for a 1:00 P.M. start. This will mark the first time Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have played in Miami against the Dolphins since December 13th, 2020. In that game, the Chiefs held a 20-point, second-half lead, only for the Dolphins to come roaring back \u2014 ultimately still falling short and losing 33-27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Miami Dolphins are scheduled for zero primetime games during the 2026 NFL season, marking the first time…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":939491,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2049],"tags":[217,7,216,251,52179,15851,2087,6],"class_list":["post-939490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami-dolphins","tag-dolphins","tag-football","tag-miami","tag-miami-dolphins","tag-miami-dolphins-preseason","tag-miami-dolphins-schedule","tag-miamidolphins","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116881195252919587","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=939490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/939490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/939491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=939490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=939490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=939490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
