Project the 2026 standings

In order to do a 2027 mock schedule, you first need to project the 2026 standings. This is because some games on the 2027 schedule are dependent on where teams finish in 2026. Please choose where each team will finish in 2026 before beginning your 2027 mock schedule.

Tap teams in order of finish, 1st through 4th. Tap a ranked team to undo. Your projection generates each team's two same-place games and its 17th game — 48 games in all.

All 272 games are on the board: 224 known matchups (confirmed 2027 rotations with verified home/away splits) plus 48 standings-based games generated from your 2026 projection. Edit the projection any time — projected games you've already placed stay put if they still exist under the new standings, otherwise they return to the pool.

Mock schedule builder FAQ

What is a mock schedule?

A mock schedule is a fan-built projection of a league's full season schedule — every matchup placed into a week and broadcast window before the league releases the real one. MockSlate enforces the real scheduling rules while you build.

Why do I project the 2026 standings first?

48 of the 272 games on the 2027 schedule depend on where teams finish in 2026 — two same-place games and the 17th game per team. Projecting all 8 divisions completes the matchup grid so every game can be placed.

What scheduling rules does the builder enforce?

Byes in weeks 5–14 (max 6 per week, none on Thanksgiving), Week 18 division-only, Lions and Cowboys hosting on Thanksgiving, no West Coast team hosting Sunday 1:00 ET, shared-stadium day conflicts, no 4 straight home games, minimum 4 days rest, and a 7-game primetime cap per team.

Is the builder free?

The standings projector and full Week 1 building — including exporting the Week 1 graphic — are free. MockSlate Pro ($12/year) unlocks all 18 weeks, unlimited saved mocks, and the solver tools, across every sport on MockSlate.
