Each NFL Team’s Longest Road Trip For the 2026 Season

“On the Road Again” they’ll go in 2026, as all 32 teams are set to travel a whopping 630,824 air miles across the coming 18-week NFL season.

It’s no easy task for a team to pick up its entire football operation and travel even the shortest of road trips—an honor that belongs to the Giants and Eagles this season, who will travel a mere 166 air miles between Philadelphia and East Rutherford, N.J. The longest? Those are an entirely different story, especially with the league set to play a record nine games being played outside the United States.
