Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season runs from Thursday, October 1 to Monday, October 5, and all 32 teams play, with no byes yet. The headline look is the New York Giants' Legacy Blue throwback against Arizona, worn for the 40th anniversary of the Super Bowl XXI team. Dallas takes its navy jersey to Houston for the Texans' 25th Season game, Cleveland is expected in the Alpha Dawg brown alternate for Thursday night against Pittsburgh, Washington wears burgundy in London, and Atlanta stays in red for Monday night in New Orleans. It is also the first weekend of Crucial Catch.
Below is every Week 4 look we know, starting with the special ones and then all 16 games in order. Confirmed means the team has announced the jersey or the full combination. Expected is our read from that team's uniform schedule, and it gets replaced with what was actually worn in our NFL uniform tracker once the game is played.
The Week 4 Throwbacks and Special Looks
New York Giants: Legacy Blue for the 1986 Team
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS. Confirmed on both sides. It is a Legacy Game at MetLife Stadium, and it is forty years since the Super Bowl XXI win over Denver, so the 1986 team is honored at halftime in the uniform that team actually wore. That is the navy helmet with the underlined GIANTS wordmark, the royal blue jersey with red and white trim, and white pants with red and blue stripes. The stadium gets the matching treatment, with the classic helmet design at midfield and vintage end zones. Arizona's own published schedule has the all-white road set under the white helmet, so it is navy and royal against all white.
Legacy Blue is better than the primary it stands in for, and it only comes out twice this season, here and against the 49ers on December 6. Every date is in our Giants 2026 uniform schedule, and Arizona's side is in the Cardinals 2026 uniform schedule.
Arizona published the jersey for all 17 games before the season, with Week 4 at the Giants in white:
Dallas Cowboys at Houston Texans: Navy for the 25th Season Game
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Cowboys jersey confirmed, Texans expected. Dallas published its full uniform schedule on September 2 with navy for this trip, one of only three navy dates all season, and our read is the silver star helmet with silver pants. Two teams cannot both wear dark, so Houston is in white at home for its 25th Season celebration, and we have the navy helmet with white pants. What Houston has not said is whether it is the standard white or the Liberty White set, and a quarter-century game is exactly the sort of date that produces a surprise throwback. If one is announced, this page gets updated.
Navy is the jersey Dallas fans argue about most, and the schedule only hands it out when the host is in white. The Cowboys 2026 uniform schedule has all three navy dates, and the Texans 2026 uniform schedule has Houston's side.
Cleveland Browns: Alpha Dawg on Thursday Night
Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video. Expected on both sides. This is Cleveland's only home primetime game of the season, and it is against the rival the franchise cares about most. Cleveland has not published a uniform schedule for 2026, so our read is the Alpha Dawg brown alternate, the all-brown look under the brown alternate helmet with brown pants. Pittsburgh is expected in its road set: black helmet, white jersey, gold pants.
The brown alternate under the lights against black and gold is about as strong a frame as the AFC North produces, which is why we put it here. Neither club has announced this one, so treat both sides as our call until game week. More in our Browns 2026 uniform schedule and Steelers 2026 uniform schedule.
Indianapolis Colts at Washington Commanders: Burgundy in London
Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Commanders jersey confirmed, Colts expected. Washington is the designated home team in North London, and its published schedule has the burgundy jersey for this game. Our read is head to toe burgundy under the burgundy helmet, the same look it wore against Seattle, but Washington decides pants the week of each game. That puts Indianapolis in its road set, white helmet, white jersey, white pants, so it is burgundy against white for the breakfast game. Full details in the Commanders 2026 uniform schedule and the Colts 2026 uniform schedule.
Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints: Red on Monday Night
Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN. Jerseys confirmed on both sides. New Orleans published the standard white at home for this one, under the gold helmet, and with the home team in white the visitor wears its color. So Atlanta stays in red on the road, one of only two road games all season where it does, and the Falcons' own schedule agrees. We have the black helmet and white pants for Atlanta and black pants for New Orleans, but the Saints' captains pick the pants each week, so that is the least certain piece. Red and black against white and gold under the Superdome lights is the right way to close the week. See the Falcons 2026 uniform schedule and the Saints 2026 uniform schedule.
Los Angeles Chargers: Powder Blue Pants in Seattle
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. Chargers confirmed, Seahawks expected. Los Angeles published the jersey and pants for all 17 games, and Week 4 is white helmet, white jersey, powder blue pants, the strongest road look in the Chargers' closet and one it wears only three times. Seattle is expected in college navy at home under the navy helmet with wolf grey pants, though the Seahawks have already gone all navy once, so their pants are the open question. More in the Chargers 2026 uniform schedule and the Seahawks 2026 uniform schedule.
Crucial Catch Starts This Week
Week 4 is the first of three Crucial Catch weekends. Seven clubs have tagged a Week 4 home game as their Crucial Catch game: Buffalo against New England, Chicago against the Jets (also Real Bears Fans Wear Pink), Tampa Bay against Green Bay, Minnesota against Miami (shared with Latino Heritage), San Francisco against Denver (shared with Roger Craig's Hall of Fame ring ceremony), Baltimore against Tennessee and Cincinnati against Jacksonville. Philadelphia, Cleveland, New Orleans and Carolina have not named their game yet, and Week 4 is one of the realistic dates for each. The jerseys do not change for Crucial Catch; the hats, gloves and sideline gear do. Every date is in our NFL Crucial Catch 2026 schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What uniforms are NFL teams wearing in Week 4 of 2026?

Why are the Cowboys wearing navy at Houston?
Dallas published its full 2026 uniform schedule on September 2 with navy for the Week 4 trip to Houston. Two teams cannot both wear dark, so the Texans wear white at home for their 25th Season game. It is one of only three navy dates for Dallas all season.

Washington is the designated home team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and wears its burgundy jersey, which its published schedule confirms. Indianapolis is expected in its white road set. Kickoff is 9:30 a.m. Eastern on Sunday, October 4, on NFL Network.
Why are the Falcons wearing red at New Orleans?
The Saints chose their standard white jersey for the Monday night home game on October 5, and when the home team wears white, the visitor wears color. Atlanta wears red on the road only twice in 2026, in Week 4 at New Orleans and in Week 8 at Tampa Bay.

Seven clubs have named a Week 4 home game: the Bills, Bears, Buccaneers, Vikings, 49ers, Ravens and Bengals.
