Ranking All 32 NFL Teams By How Many Miles They’ll Travel in 2026

The 2026 NFL schedule is here! After months of planning, debate and deliberation, the league officially unveiled its 272-game slate on Thursday night in prime-time fashion.

With the release comes a Wednesday night kickoff game between the Seahawks and the Patriots, a record nine (!) International Series contests with eight different teams playing host, a brand-new Thanksgiving Eve bout, three Turkey Day matchups, the fourth annual Black Friday showdown and a Christmas tripleheader. Combine that with all 32 clubs playing 17 games apiece over 18 weeks, and you’ve got yourself a whole lot of football to look forward to in 2026 …

… and a whole lot of travel.

Over the course of the upcoming season, the NFL will play games in eight different countries—so we calculated the air miles that each team is expected to travel from September to January, which comes to a staggering league-wide total of 630,824. 

For further context, we used distance.to as our source and measured each road trip city-to-city, including return travel from each destination. We did not account for teams potentially remaining on the road between consecutive away games—for example, a situation like the Saints playing the Giants in New Jersey in Week 6 and then likely heading directly to Paris for Week 7. The lone exception was the Jaguars’ back-to-back games in London across Weeks 5 and 6, which we counted as a continuous overseas stay. 

Got it? good.

Before we get into each team’s distance traveled, some fun facts from the NFL’s 2026 travel schedule:

• The 49ers (37,862) will travel the most air miles in 2026.
• The Panthers (8,641) will travel the fewest air miles in 2026.
• The 49ers will make the longest road trip of the 2026 season, traveling 15,745 air miles from Santa Clara to Melbourne in Week 1.
• The Giants and Eagles will make the shortest road trips of the 2026 season, traveling 166 air miles to each other in Weeks 9 and 18.
• Despite playing an International Series game in Paris, the Steelers will travel fewer air miles (14,464) this season than the 49ers (15,745) and Rams (15,858) will for their Week 1 trip to Melbourne alone.
• The Dolphins will travel more than 2,000 air miles for all nine of their road games in 2026.
• Carolina will travel more than 1,000 air miles just four times.

Here’s a look at each team’s total air miles traveled, ranked from most to least.
