2026 Miami Dolphins Season Schedule
The Miami Dolphins finished the 2025 season at 7-10, showing inconsistency but flashes of competitiveness, especially within the AFC East. They split key rivalry games, earning wins over the Buffalo Bills and sweeping the New York Jets, but struggled against the New England Patriots, including a costly Week 18 loss that closed any late playoff hopes. Miami went 3-3 in the division, remained under .500 in conference play, and failed to secure a postseason spot, largely due to defensive lapses and inconsistent offense against stronger AFC opponents like the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. Fans watched games across CBS, FOX, ESPN, and Prime Video, reflecting a mix of national and regional exposure. Heading into 2026, the Dolphins look like a fringe playoff contender-if they can build on their rivalry success, improve consistency, and compete better against top-tier teams, they have the potential to push for a Wild Card spot in a competitive AFC.
