The 2026 Miami Dolphins schedule has been released and Jeff Hafley’s first season faces a few daunting stretches
The NFL schedule makers didn’t to the Miami Dolphins schedule any favors early on in 2026. Or late, for that matter.
The Miami Dolphins schedule in the first season under new head coach Jeff Hafley is full of challenges. This season as a whole offers plenty of hardship and transition, as Miami has seen their roster whittled away this offseason due to salary cap restraints and the need to build a new foundation.
But the schedule is going to offer its own fair share of gauntlets. The Miami Dolphins schedule offers a lot of road trips late and a lot of perceived contending teams late. Saddle up, Dolphins fans. This season is going to be a wild ride. As released by the team, here is the Miami Dolphins’ full 2026 schedule.
