Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season runs from Thursday, October 22 to Monday, October 26, with 14 games and four teams on bye: the Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders. It is the deepest throwback week of the season so far. Atlanta brings out its 1966 throwback, red helmet over a black jersey, against San Francisco. Seattle wears its royal blue throwback for the second straight week, this time at home against Kansas City on Sunday night. The Jets wear the Classic against Miami, Minnesota goes all purple against the Colts, Houston has its Battle Red game against the Giants, and Dallas closes the week in the Arctic White Color Rush at Philadelphia on Monday night. On Sunday morning, New Orleans and Pittsburgh play at the Stade de France in Paris.
Below is every Week 7 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 7 Throwbacks and Special Looks
San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons: The 1966 Throwback
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Falcons confirmed, 49ers expected. Atlanta published all 17 games on September 10, and Week 7 is the first of two dates for the 1966 throwback: the red helmet, black jersey and white pants, with tri-color socks. The second is Week 13 against Detroit. These are the two games all season where the Falcons wear black, because red took over as the home jersey in the April redesign. San Francisco is expected in its white road set under the gold helmet, and our read is gold pants, the look it wore at Seattle in Week 5. Red shell, black shirt, against white and gold. Our matchup grade: A-. More in the Falcons 2026 uniform schedule and the 49ers 2026 uniform schedule.
Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks: Royal Blue on Sunday Night
Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC. Seahawks confirmed, Chiefs expected. Seattle wears the royal blue throwback three times this season, all in primetime, and this is the second. The team has the game on its schedule as a royal blue night. Last Thursday at Denver it was the silver helmet, royal blue jersey and silver pants, and we expect the same combination at Lumen Field. Kansas City is expected in white on the road, and when the Chiefs wore white at Las Vegas in Week 4 it came with the red helmet and red pants. Royal and silver against white and red, under the lights. Our matchup grade: A. The last royal blue date is Week 13 against Dallas on Monday night. See the Seahawks 2026 uniform schedule and the Chiefs 2026 uniform schedule.
Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles: Arctic White on Monday Night
Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN and ABC. Cowboys confirmed, Eagles expected. Dallas published all 17 games on September 2, and the Monday night trip is the second of three dates for the Arctic White Color Rush: a white helmet with the current star and a white facemask, a white jersey with navy shoulders and navy numbers, and white pants with twin navy stripes. It is a separate uniform, not a pants swap. Philadelphia is expected in midnight green under the midnight green helmet with white pants, the home look it wore in Weeks 4 and 6. A lot of fans hoped for Kelly Green here, but the Eagles announced all three alternate dates on September 4, Kelly Green in Weeks 9 and 16 and black in Week 15, and this game is not one of them. Our matchup grade: B+. See the Cowboys 2026 uniform schedule and the Eagles 2026 uniform schedule.
Indianapolis Colts at Minnesota Vikings: All Purple
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS. Vikings confirmed, Colts expected. Minnesota put a jersey on every home date when it published its 2026 game themes, and Week 7 is the all-purple combination: purple helmet, purple jersey, purple pants. It is the same home jersey, worn with purple pants instead of white, and it gets this one date. Indianapolis is expected in its standard road set, white helmet, white jersey, white pants, the look it wore at Pittsburgh in Week 5. Monochrome purple against monochrome white. Our matchup grade: B+. More in the Vikings 2026 uniform schedule and the Colts 2026 uniform schedule.
Miami Dolphins at New York Jets: The Classic
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS. Jets confirmed, Dolphins expected. The Jets named the Classic for this game when they announced their 2026 home themes on July 22. It is their First Responders Appreciation day at MetLife Stadium. The Classic is a white uniform, a nod to the 1968 Super Bowl III team, with a white helmet and a gray facemask. When it debuted in 2024 it came with white pants, and that is our read, but the team has not detailed the combination for Sunday. With New York in white at home, Miami gets to wear color on the road, and we expect aqua under the white helmet with white pants. Aqua against the old-school white. Our matchup grade: A-. See the Jets 2026 uniform schedule and the Dolphins 2026 uniform schedule.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers: Panther Blue
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Panthers confirmed, Buccaneers expected. Carolina published a jersey for all 17 games on September 4, and Week 7 is the second of three Panther blue home dates, after the opener against Chicago and before New Orleans in Week 14. The team has also confirmed the black helmet for its blue games. Pants are announced closer to the game, and Carolina has worn both black and Panther blue pants this season. Tampa Bay is expected in white under the pewter helmet, with pewter or white pants. Our matchup grade: B+. See the Panthers 2026 uniform schedule and the Buccaneers 2026 uniform schedule.
New York Giants at Houston Texans: Battle Red
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Confirmed on both sides. Houston's home themes name this the Battle Red game, a Texans tradition since 2003, with the team in its red uniforms and the crowd asked to wear red. It is Houston's one Battle Red date this season. Our read is the red helmet with the red jersey, and pants are a game-week call. The Giants published all 17 games on September 2, and the Houston trip is the white jersey with white pants under the blue NY helmet. Red against white is about as loud as this matchup gets. Our matchup grade: B+. More in the Texans 2026 uniform schedule and the Giants 2026 uniform schedule.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints: Paris
Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network, at the Stade de France. Saints confirmed, Steelers expected. This is the league's first-ever game in Paris, kicking off at 2:30 p.m. local time in Saint-Denis. New Orleans is the designated home team, so the Saints wear black, as they published on September 7, under the gold helmet. The captains pick the pants each week, and they have gone with black pants in both of their black home games so far. That puts Pittsburgh in white, and our read is the black helmet with gold pants, the road look from Thursday night in Cleveland. It is the Saints' fourth regular-season game overseas, after three in London. Our matchup grade: B+. See the Saints 2026 uniform schedule and the Steelers 2026 uniform schedule.
New England Patriots at Chicago Bears: Thursday Night Football
Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video. Expected on both sides. Chicago is expected in its navy home set at Soldier Field, navy helmet, navy jersey, white pants, the look it wore against Philadelphia on Monday night in Week 3. New England is expected in white under the silver helmet. The pants are the open question: the Patriots have worn navy, white and silver pants with the white jersey on the road this season. Our lean is navy, the "white on blue" look from the opener in Seattle. Navy and orange against white and navy, under the lights. Our matchup grade: B. See the Bears 2026 uniform schedule and the Patriots 2026 uniform schedule.
Also Worth Watching
- Black in Detroit, maybe. Our Lions grid has the black alternate at home against Green Bay, but Detroit has not announced it, and the Lions have worn the black mostly in primetime games in recent seasons. This is a 4:25 p.m. FOX game, so treat black as our lean and Honolulu blue as the fallback. Green Bay is expected in white under the gold helmet with gold pants. Lions 2026 uniform schedule and Packers 2026 uniform schedule.
- Red at home in Glendale. The Cardinals published cardinal red with the white helmet for Denver back on September 1, and the Broncos published Summit White for the trip. Denver has paired the white jersey with the navy helmet in its last two road games, with navy pants at San Francisco and white pants at the Chargers.
