The New York Jets made some big improvements during the 2026 offseason. New York added three first-round picks during the draft and made a flurry of moves during NFL free agency. They won’t have to wait long before facing off against their former head coach during the 2026 season.

The Jets will travel travel to Tennessee to take on the Titans in Week 1, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz. New York will face off against their old head coach Robert Saleh to open the regular season.
In 2025, New York opened the season against Pittsburgh and QB Aaron Rodgers . Now they will face another familiar opponent in Week 1 this year.
New York hired Saleh as their head coach before the 2021 NFL season. He did not have much success during his first two seasons in New York. However, the addition of Aaron Rodgers had Jets fans excited about the 2023 season. But Rodgers’ brutal Achilles injury ended that excitement.
Saleh started the 2024 season 2-3 before being fired after losing in London .

Of course, the storylines write themselves ahead of this matchup. Saleh will have plenty of motivation to start off his Titans tenure with a big win. Especially after how unceremoniously the Jets kicked him to the curb.
Meanwhile, a Week 1 matchup against the Titans is a great opportunity for Aaron Glenn and the Jets to prove how far they’ve come since last season. If the Jets can pull off an upset win on the road, it could change the narrative around the franchise to start the 2026 season.
Either way, this game should be must-watch television for all NFL fans.
