Panthers have one of NFL's three toughest schedules in 2026
The Carolina Panthers will face one of the NFL's three toughest schedules in 2026, according to Warren Sharp's strength-of-schedule projections. The Panthers are expected to win 6.5 games this season, despite winning their first division title since 2015.
The Carolina Panthers are on the rise, having increased their win total from two to eight over the last three seasons and winning their first division title since 2015. However, this achievement will result in a challenging 2026 schedule. According to Warren Sharp's strength-of-schedule projections, the Panthers have the third-hardest schedule, with only the Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals facing tougher slates. Vegas oddsmakers predict the Panthers will win 6.5 games this season. The Panthers will face the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles on the road, and the Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, and Seattle Seahawks at home. To defend their title, head coach Dave Canales may need to get his team off to a strong start, as they have gone 2-6 in the first four weeks of his two previous seasons.
