How difficult is the Bills' 2026 NFL schedule compared to the AFC East?

[ASFN Admin]

The Buffalo Bills and rest of the NFL are ready to see what their route to Super Bowl 61 will be.

The NFL will announce the entire slate of schedules for all 32 teams coming in the 2026 regular season on Thursday, including the Bills.

While we've known for months exactly which opponents Buffalo has ahead in 2026 and where those games will be played, the all important order is what will be announced this week.

That order will play a part in terms of how difficult or easy a team's schedule is during a season. However, we can still get a look into how difficult a team's slate ahead is based on what we already know.

Last year, Buffalo finished the 2025 NFL season with a 12-5 record and failed to win the AFC East for the first time in five years. Can the Bills take the division back in 2026?

With that, here is an AFC East comparison of strength of schedule:

• 4. New York Jets (.517)
• 3. Buffalo Bills (.528)
• 2, New England Patriots (.531)
• 1. Miami Dolphins (.542)
