Saints 2026 opponents revealed: Kellen Moore already has a notable advantage for his second season in New Orleans
The Saints will have an upper hand on the rest of the NFC South in 2026 when it comes to their schedule.
The New Orleans Saints’ first season under head coach Kellen Moore has come to a conclusion. Their final record was 6-11, but there were plenty of positive building blocks involved in this campaign. Tyler Shough emerged as a potential long-term answer at quarterback. Chase Young was phenomenal. Chris Olave stayed healthy and produced at an elite level. The 2025 rookie class had multiple standouts.
New Orleans holds the 8th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after finishing 4th in the NFC South. With all of the playoff teams set in stone, the team’s 2026 opponents are also prepared. Check out the list of them below.
