Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season runs from Thursday, November 5 to Monday, November 9, with 15 games and two teams on bye: the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Tennessee Titans. It is the busiest week of the season for alternate uniforms so far. Five teams wear an alternate set: the Ravens in all-purple Purple Rising on Thursday night, the Eagles in Kelly Green and the Giants in Vintage White in the same game in Philadelphia, the Saints in their gold jersey under the black helmet, and the Chargers in the all-navy Super Chargers set. Indianapolis adds its all-white White Out against Dallas, which puts the Cowboys in navy, and Atlanta and Cincinnati play in Madrid on Sunday morning.
Below is every Week 9 look we know, special ones first and then all 15 games in order. Confirmed means the team has announced the jersey or the full combination. Scheduled means the team put the jersey on its published season schedule. Expected is our projection 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. Pants are the piece teams settle the week of the game, so treat every pants call below as the least certain part of the line until the team posts its game-week look.
The Week 9 Alternates
New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles: Kelly Green vs. Vintage White
Image: New York Giants
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Both teams confirmed. This is the best-dressed game of the week. Philadelphia announced on September 2 that it wears Kelly Green for this game, the first of its two Kelly Green dates in 2026 (the second is Week 16 against Houston). New York confirmed the same morning that it wears Vintage White: the navy GIANTS wordmark helmet, a white jersey with blue numbers outlined in red, and white pants. Both teams are in looks based on what they wore in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Kelly Green against white with red and blue trim is about as good as an NFL game gets. The Giants wear Vintage White again four days later, on Thursday night against Washington. Our matchup grade: A. See the Eagles 2026 uniform schedule and the Giants 2026 uniform schedule.
Jacksonville Jaguars at Baltimore Ravens: Purple Rising on Thursday Night
Image: Baltimore Ravens
Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET, Prime Video. Ravens confirmed, Jaguars expected. Baltimore named this game for Purple Rising on September 1: the Purple Rising helmet, purple jersey and purple pants. The helmet is metallic purple with gold stripes and a gold facemask, and for 2026 it carries the primary Ravens logo. The Ravens are pairing the night with their Salute to Service game. It is the second of three Next Flight theme games, after White Noise in Week 2, and the all-black Darkness Falls set follows 11 days later against the Chargers on Monday night.
With Baltimore in purple, Jacksonville is expected in white, the call on our Jaguars schedule for this trip.
Purple head to toe is a look few teams can wear, and Baltimore is one of them. Our matchup grade: B+. See the Ravens 2026 uniform schedule, the Jaguars 2026 uniform schedule, and our review of the Ravens' 2026 uniforms.
Cleveland Browns at New Orleans Saints: The Gold Jersey
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS. Saints scheduled, Browns expected. New Orleans published its full jersey and helmet plan on September 7, and this is the only game for the gold jersey, paired with the black helmet. The team says the captains pick the pants before each game. Cleveland is expected in white under the orange helmet, with the pants the open question after the Browns paired white with brown pants at Tennessee in Week 6.
Gold under a black helmet is the best version of the Saints' gold, and it gets one date all year. Our matchup grade: B+. See the Saints 2026 uniform schedule and the Browns 2026 uniform schedule.
Houston Texans at Los Angeles Chargers: Super Chargers Navy
Image: Los Angeles Chargers
Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET, CBS. Chargers confirmed, Texans expected. The Chargers announced their alternate dates over the summer and published every jersey and pants call on September 1. This is the first of three home games in the all-navy Super Chargers set, a modern version of the navy jerseys the franchise wore from 1992 to 2006. The other two are the Patriots in Week 12 and the Chiefs in Week 17.
With the Chargers in navy, Houston is expected in white.
Our matchup grade: B. See the Chargers 2026 uniform schedule and the Texans 2026 uniform schedule.
Dallas Cowboys at Indianapolis Colts: The White Out
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Colts confirmed, Cowboys scheduled. Indianapolis named this game for the White Out in its home schedule: the white jersey with white pants at Lucas Oil Stadium. With the Colts in white, Dallas published navy for this trip on September 2, one of three navy road games on its schedule (Houston in Week 4 and the Rams in Week 15 are the others). It is the silver helmet with the navy jersey; pants are the week-of call.
The Cowboys in navy is rare enough to be worth watching. Our matchup grade: B. See the Colts 2026 uniform schedule and the Cowboys 2026 uniform schedule.
Cincinnati Bengals at Atlanta Falcons: Madrid
Sunday, 9:30 a.m. ET, NFL Network, Santiago Bernabéu, Madrid. Atlanta is the designated home team, so the game counts as one of its nine home dates. The Falcons' September 10 schedule has red for it: the black helmet, the red jersey and white pants. Cincinnati is the visitor at a neutral site and is expected in white under the striped orange helmet. Our matchup grade: B. See the Falcons 2026 uniform schedule and the Bengals 2026 uniform schedule.
The Prime-Time Games
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Chicago Bears: Sunday Night Football
Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC. Expected on both sides. Chicago has one dated uniform this season, the Rivalries set on Christmas Day, so this is a standard home night: the navy helmet and the navy jersey with orange numbers. Tampa Bay is expected in white under the pewter helmet. Navy and orange against white and red at Soldier Field in November is a classic frame. Our matchup grade: B. See the Bears 2026 uniform schedule and the Buccaneers 2026 uniform schedule.
Buffalo Bills at Minnesota Vikings: Monday Night Football
Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN. Vikings scheduled, Bills expected. Minnesota attached a jersey to all nine home games, and this one is the purple jersey over white pants. It is also the Vikings' Salute to Service game and the night Adrian Peterson goes into the team's Ring of Honor. Buffalo has not published road jerseys and is expected in white under the white helmet, with the pants the open call. Our matchup grade: B. See the Vikings 2026 uniform schedule and the Bills 2026 uniform schedule.
Also Worth Watching
Detroit Lions at Miami Dolphins: Honolulu Blue on the Road
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, FOX. Expected on both sides. Miami has worn white at home in each of its confirmed home games this season, including White on White against New England last week, and our Dolphins schedule has white again here. With the host in white, Detroit is expected in Honolulu blue, its one road game in color this season, one week after debuting its Rivalries set. Our matchup grade: B+. See the Dolphins 2026 uniform schedule and the Lions 2026 uniform schedule.
Denver Broncos at Carolina Panthers
Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, CBS. Both jerseys scheduled by the teams. Carolina published every jersey on September 4, and this is one of six black home dates. Denver published all 17 games and has Summit White for this trip. Both teams set helmets and pants in game week: the Broncos have paired Summit White with the navy helmet on the road at San Francisco and Arizona, and the Panthers choose between the black and silver helmets. Our matchup grade: B. See the Panthers 2026 uniform schedule and the Broncos 2026 uniform schedule.
