Colts 2026 Schedule: Early Details Point to Ravens in Week 1

The Colts already know several major pieces of their 2026 schedule, even before the NFL’s full week-by-week reveal. Indianapolis has eight regular-season home games at Lucas Oil Stadium, a London game already on the calendar, and a reported Week 1 opener against the Baltimore Ravens.

What The Team Has Already Confirmed

According to Colts.com in Colts single game tickets on sale tomorrow after NFL Schedule release, Indianapolis will host eight regular-season home games and two preseason games at Lucas Oil Stadium. The same announcement says the home slate includes AFC South opponents plus the Ravens, Bengals, Cowboys, Dolphins, and Giants.

The team has also already announced an international game in London against the Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, giving the 2026 schedule at least one fixed destination before the full release.

Reported Week 1 Opponent

According to Colts Wire in Report: Colts' Week 1 opponent for 2026 NFL season revealed, the Colts are expected to open the season at home against the Baltimore Ravens.

The draft article also cited IndyStar for the same reported opener, but the available corroboration here comes cleanly from Colts Wire.

Tickets and Reveal Timing

Colts.com says fans on the Colts Single Game Priority List get first access to tickets once sales open, and that the full schedule reveal will be carried on NFL Network, Colts.com, and the team’s official app.

Why This Early Picture Matters

Even without the full calendar, the Colts’ outline is already pretty useful. A London game affects travel and rest planning, while a home opener against Baltimore would give Indianapolis an immediate measuring-stick matchup to start the year.

Important Facts

• Indianapolis has eight regular-season home games at Lucas Oil Stadium.
• The Colts are scheduled to play the Commanders in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
• The reported Week 1 opponent is the Baltimore Ravens at home.
• The full schedule release will fill in dates, times, and broadcast windows.

What Comes Next

The rest of the picture depends on the official league release. Once that lands, the big questions will be where the London game fits in the calendar, how demanding the opening stretch looks, and whether Indianapolis gets a favorable balance of home and road timing.
