2026 Indianapolis Colts Season Schedule
The Indianapolis Colts finished the 2025 season 8-9, a year defined by a strong start and a difficult second-half collapse. Indianapolis opened 6-2, highlighted by wins over the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, and a dominant season sweep of the Tennessee Titans, but inconsistency against top competition and late-game struggles led to a 2-7 finish. In the AFC South, the Colts went 3-3, getting swept by the division-leading Houston Texans and splitting results with the Jacksonville Jaguars, which ultimately kept them out of the playoffs. Close losses to contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs (OT) and Pittsburgh Steelers showed competitiveness, but defensive lapses, especially late in the season, proved costly, including a heavy loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Most Colts games aired on CBS and FOX, with primetime appearances on ESPN/ABC and NFL Network, giving fans broad national coverage. Heading into 2026, Indianapolis looks like a fringe contender with upside; if they can replicate their early-season form, improve divisional results, especially against Houston, and close out tight games, the Colts could push back into playoff contention in a competitive AFC.
