The Browns open the 2026 NFL season on the road against a Jacksonville squad coming off a 13-4 campaign and playoff appearance, giving the Jaguars clear home-field and recent-form edges at EverBank Stadium. Cleveland enters in transition after trading its longtime defensive cornerstone, installing a new head coach, and still sorting out the quarterback competition, factors that have tempered expectations despite a relatively favorable overall schedule. Recent preseason results showed Jacksonville defeating the Saints while Cleveland struggled against the Bears, underscoring roster-health and offensive-line questions for both sides. The all-time series favors Jacksonville 12-8, though early-season variables like injury reports and offensive execution will shape outcomes in this Week 1 matchup.
