New York Jets 2026 Uniform Schedule: When They Wear the White Out, Classic, and Gotham City Rivalries

The Jets have confirmed three uniform games for 2026, and the first one is the most interesting thing they have done with their look in years. A brand-new all-white helmet comes out of the box in Week 2 for a full White Out against Green Bay. The Classic uniform gets a October date against Miami. And the Gotham City Football Rivalries jersey returns to close the home schedule against New England. Here is the full New York Jets 2026 uniform schedule: the confirmed jersey dates first, then a week-by-week outlook for the green home set and the white road set.

The Confirmed Jets Uniform Games

These three are officially set by the Jets as part of their 2026 home game themes. All three are at MetLife Stadium.

The Full 2026 Jets Uniform Schedule, Week by Week

Week 1 combination, as announced for game week: green helmet, white jersey, green pants. Combinations are compiled from the teams' own game-week posts, and the tracker logs what is actually worn once the game is played.

Their Week 1 opponent: the Tennessee Titans 2026 uniform schedule has the other side of this matchup, and the 2026 NFL uniform tracker logs what both teams actually wear once it is played.

Here is the whole season at a glance. The three confirmed jersey games are marked with a star. Everything else follows the standard home-and-away convention. Week 13 is the bye.

The honest caveat the grid cannot show: only the starred games are officially confirmed by the Jets. The team announced themes for all eight home dates but named a uniform for only three of them, and it confirmed Week 3 at Detroit (green helmet, white jersey, green pants) in its game-day post, so the green-home and white-road assignments for the other weeks follow the standard NFL home-and-away convention and are our projection. Week 10 against Buffalo is the black alternate, and Week 12 at Miami is green on the road, with the Dolphins in white. Pants and the exact combinations are a week-of-game call. The Week 18 date at Buffalo has not been scheduled yet.

White Out (Week 2 vs. Packers, Confirmed)

This is the one to circle. The Jets are debuting a new alternate helmet for the home opener against Green Bay on Sunday, September 20: a white shell with a white facemask, inverting the colors of the green helmet they normally wear. Paired with a white uniform, it gives them a full monochrome White Out, and the team says it will be the first time they have worn white helmets with their primary white set.

The Jets are also asking the crowd to wear white, with white towels handed out at the gates. Across the field, the Packers have confirmed gold helmets, green jerseys and gold pants, so it is all white against green and gold. Monochrome looks are easy to get wrong, but the Jets have the palette for it, and an all-white kit under a September afternoon at MetLife should photograph as cleanly as anything they own. Worth noting the new shell is a separate piece from their throwback white helmet, which carries green striping and a gray facemask.

Classic (Week 7 vs. Dolphins, Confirmed)

The Jets have confirmed the Classic uniform for their First Responders Appreciation game against Miami on Sunday, October 25. This is the throwback side of the closet, the look that reaches back to the era fans still ask for, and it comes with the white helmet that carries green striping and a gray facemask rather than the new White Out shell.

The team has not detailed the full combination for that afternoon, so treat the jersey as confirmed and the pants as a game-week decision. Pinning a throwback to the Dolphins game is a good instinct: an old-school divisional matchup is exactly where a heritage uniform earns its afternoon.

Gotham City Rivalries (Week 16 vs. Patriots, Confirmed)

The Gotham City Football uniform is the Jets' entry in the NFL x Nike Rivalries program, and it returns for the home finale against New England on Sunday, December 27. The Jets came into the program with the 2025 AFC East wave alongside the Bills, Dolphins, and Patriots, and the rule is the same for everyone: the uniform comes out at a home game against a division rival.

Closing the home schedule with it is the right call. A Jets-Patriots December date at MetLife is the exact matchup the program was built to dress up, and there is a Rivalries giveaway attached. For the wider background, see our explainer on the NFL Rivalries uniform program.

Gotham Green (The Home Base, Expected)

The green home jersey is still the foundation, and it projects to four home dates: the Browns in Week 5, the Raiders in Week 8, the Broncos in Week 14, and the Vikings in Week 17. The Stripe Out against Cleveland carries an announced theme but no named jersey, so green is the projection rather than a confirmation. Week 10 against Buffalo, the Salute to Service game, is the black alternate.

Gotham Green remains one of the more distinctive base colors in the league. Nobody else in the NFL is wearing that shade, and in a conference full of blue and red it reads instantly on broadcast.

The White Road Set (Expected)

The white road uniform is the workhorse and projects to seven of the nine away games: at the Titans, Lions, Bears, Patriots, Chiefs, Chargers, and the Week 18 trip to Buffalo. The exceptions are Week 12 at Miami, where the Dolphins wear white and the Jets go green, and Week 15 at Arizona, where the Cardinals' published uniform schedule has them in white at home, which puts the Jets in Gotham Green on the road. That is the standard convention rather than an announcement, and there is one wrinkle worth knowing about. A visiting team can only bring a colored jersey when the home team wears white, so the Jets are in white on the road unless a host specifically goes white at home.

How the Jets Rotation Works in 2026

The system is simple once you see the three anchors. Green at home, white on the road, and four home dates pulled out for something else: the White Out helmet debut in Week 2, the Classic against Miami in Week 7, the black alternate against Buffalo in Week 10, and Gotham City Rivalries against New England in Week 16. That leaves four home games in the standard green, plus two road games in green at Miami and Arizona.

What makes 2026 different from most Jets seasons is the helmet. Between the green shell, the new all-white shell, and the throwback white with green striping, they now have real variety up top, which is where uniform programs usually run out of room. The rest is pants and combinations, decided the week of each game.

Five jerseys and three helmets. Gotham Green is the home base and projects to four home dates, the Browns in Week 5, the Raiders in Week 8, the Broncos in Week 14 and the Vikings in Week 17. The black alternate takes Week 10 against the Bills. The white road set projects to seven of the nine away games, with Week 12 at Miami and Week 15 at Arizona the exceptions, because the Dolphins and the Cardinals wear white at home and that puts New York in green on the road. Three home games are confirmed. The White Out in Week 2 against the Packers on Sunday, September 20 is the new piece for 2026, a white shell with a white facemask worn with the primary white set for the first time.

The Gotham City Rivalries jersey closes the home schedule in Week 16 against the Patriots on Sunday, December 27, and it came in with the 2025 AFC East wave. Week 1 at Tennessee was the green helmet, white jersey and green pants.

When do the Jets wear the White Out uniform in 2026?

No. Only three games are confirmed by the team: the White Out in Week 2, the Classic in Week 7, and Gotham City Rivalries in Week 16. The Jets announced themes for all eight home games but named a uniform for only those three, so the green-home and white-road assignments everywhere else are our projection based on the standard NFL home-and-away convention.

Why are the Jets wearing black?

Week 10 at home against Buffalo is the Jets' black alternate. The other dark look is the Gotham City Football uniform, the Jets' entry in the NFL x Nike Rivalries program: a dark Empire green jersey with black, green and gray trim, which debuted in December 2025 with a black alternate helmet. In 2026 it comes out once, at home against the New England Patriots on Sunday, December 27.
