Summary
Eight AFC South and NFC North teams revealed new Rivalries uniforms for 2026, with Indianapolis set to be the first on field in Week 3 against Houston and Chicago the last in Week 16 versus Green Bay.
The league said the Nike-backed series is designed to celebrate divisional rivalries, and each uniform will stay in a team's alternate rotation for three years.
The new set covers the Colts, Texans, Jaguars and Titans in the AFC South plus the Bears, Lions, Packers and Vikings in the NFC North, while last year's AFC East and NFC West designs remain in use this season.
The rollout continues by division: NFC East and AFC West teams are due next season, with NFC South and AFC North clubs completing the first cycle in 2028.
