The Carolina Panthers' 2026 season

The Carolina Panthers play 17 regular-season games in the 2026 NFL season, 9 at home at Bank of America Stadium and 8 away, opening on Sep 13 and finishing on Jan 10. 6 of them are against NFC South rivals. The bye falls in week 5, between Oct 4 and Oct 18 — the one week of the season with no game, and a gap in this team's row on the grid rather than a hole in the data. The longest run at home is 2 games, from Dec 13 to Dec 20; the longest run on the road is 2, from Sep 20 to Sep 27.

Kick-off times are shown in your own timezone rather than US Eastern time — detected automatically, and overridable in the “Times in” control above. That matters more in this league than in any other on the site: a Sunday-evening game in North America is the small hours of Monday morning across Europe, and a game that crosses midnight carries a +1 so it cannot be mistaken for the same evening. To see how the Carolina Panthers' run compares with the rest of the league — who has the harder stretch, and whose bye lands where — the full grid puts all 32 teams side by side.

What time do the Carolina Panthers' games start in my timezone?
