Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season runs from Thursday, October 15 to Monday, October 19, with 14 games and four teams on bye: the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings. It opens with the best-dressed Thursday night of the season so far. Denver wears its orange throwback under the royal blue "D" helmet, and Seattle answers in its royal blue throwback, both confirmed by the teams on October 13. On Sunday, New Orleans brings its all-white alternate under the white helmet to the Giants, the Chargers wear white over gold pants in Kansas City, Houston and Jacksonville play at Wembley Stadium, and Dallas visits Green Bay on Sunday night. It is also the third and last weekend of Crucial Catch.
Below is every Week 6 look we know, starting with the special ones and then all 14 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. Helmets and jerseys project reliably; pants are the piece teams change the week of the game, so treat every expected pants call as the least certain part of the line.
The Week 6 Throwbacks and Special Looks
Seattle Seahawks at Denver Broncos: Two Throwbacks on Thursday Night
Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video. Confirmed on both sides. Denver showed the look on Tuesday, October 13: a rack of royal blue helmets with the orange "D" and white bronco, an orange center stripe trimmed in white and white facemasks. The team's release describes the rest as orange jerseys with white numbers and Legacy Blue trim, white pants with an orange and Legacy Blue side stripe, and orange and blue striped socks. Seattle confirmed its side the same day: the royal blue throwback with the silver helmet and silver pants. Orange against royal blue is the most colorful matchup of the week, and both clubs are in retro sets at once. Our matchup grade: A+, the best-looking game on the Week 6 slate before a snap is played.
The Broncos wear the throwback twice this season, here and in Week 18 against the Chargers. Seattle wears its royal blue three times, all in primetime: this game, Week 7 against Kansas City on Sunday night and Week 13 against Dallas on Monday night. Every date is in the Broncos 2026 uniform schedule and the Seahawks 2026 uniform schedule.
New Orleans Saints: All White at the Giants
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Confirmed on both sides. New Orleans published its 2026 schedule on September 7, and Week 6 at MetLife is the white alternate under the white helmet, the all-white set with gold numbers. Our read is white pants to complete it. The Giants published all 17 games too, and this one is royal blue at home under the blue NY helmet with white pants. It is also the Giants' Crucial Catch game. The Saints' white alternate travels again in Week 12 at Cincinnati before it appears at home against Arizona in Week 16. See the Saints 2026 uniform schedule and the Giants 2026 uniform schedule.
Los Angeles Chargers: White Over Gold Pants in Kansas City
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. Chargers confirmed, Chiefs expected. The Chargers published the jersey and the pants for every game on September 1, and Week 6 is the white jersey over gold pants under the white helmet, one of only two white-over-gold dates this season (the other is Week 16 at Miami). Kansas City is expected in red at home under the red helmet with white pants, and the Chiefs have named this their Crucial Catch game. More in the Chargers 2026 uniform schedule and the Chiefs 2026 uniform schedule.
Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars: Teal at Wembley
Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network, at Wembley Stadium. Expected on both sides. Jacksonville is the designated home team for both of its London games, and last week at Tottenham it wore the black helmet, teal jersey and black pants against Philadelphia. Our read is the same look again. That puts Houston in its white road set under the navy helmet, as at Tennessee last week. Neither club has named a jersey for Wembley, so treat both as expected. More in the Jaguars 2026 uniform schedule and the Texans 2026 uniform schedule.
Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers: White at Lambeau on Sunday Night
Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC. Cowboys confirmed, Packers expected. Dallas published all 17 games on September 2, and the Lambeau trip is the standard white jersey, with our read the silver star helmet and silver-blue pants. Green Bay is expected in its green home jersey under the gold helmet with gold pants. The Packers call this their Packers Vs. Cancer game, benefiting the UW Health Carbone Cancer Center. See the Cowboys 2026 uniform schedule and the Packers 2026 uniform schedule.
Crucial Catch, Weekend Three
Week 6 is the last of the three Crucial Catch weekends. Five clubs have tagged a Week 6 home game: Indianapolis against Tennessee (shared with Adam Vinatieri's Ring of Honor day), the Giants against New Orleans, Las Vegas against Buffalo, Kansas City against the Chargers and New England against the Jets. Denver's Thursday night game is its only home date in the window, and Philadelphia, Cleveland, the Rams and Atlanta each have a Week 6 home game that could be theirs. 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.
