With multiple coaches getting fired and Mike Tomlin stepping away, there will be nine teams with a new head coach in 2026. The New Orleans Saints are facing more than half of them. Matter of fact, nearly half of the Saints' games will be against teams with a new head coach.
The AFC North will be replacing three of the four coaches in the division, and the Saints will play all three of them. New Orleans' last place schedule also earns them a date with the Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals. Within the division, the Saints will play the Atlanta Falcons twice.
