Jacksonville Jaguars Schedulegami: Opponents Never Faced in Primetime
What is a schedulegami? MockSlate calls it a schedulegami when two teams meet in a scheduling window they’ve never shared before.
The Jaguars have faced the Browns 20 times, but never on Monday night. If they were scheduled there, that would be a schedulegami, their first-ever Monday night meeting.
The Jaguars have never faced 12 of their 31 possible opponents on Monday, Sunday, or Thursday night. Of those 12, six have only ever met Jacksonville on a Sunday afternoon. The other six have met in at least one other scheduling window, such as a Saturday or a game abroad.
The 2026 schedule adds two schedulegamis: Baltimore on Thursday night in Week 9 and Dallas on Sunday night in Week 16.

Jaguars venue-first matchups, 1995–2025
Schedulegami vs. venue first: A schedulegami means the teams have never met in that scheduling window. A venue first means they have met in the window, but one team has never hosted it.
Some matchups have appeared in a primetime window several times, but always with the same team hosting. The table below shows where the other team has never hosted that matchup in the same window.

Jaguars schedulegami FAQ
- What is a schedulegami?
- MockSlate calls it a schedulegami when two teams meet in a scheduling window they've never shared before. The Jaguars have faced the Browns 20 times, but never on Monday night. If they were scheduled there, that would be a schedulegami, their first-ever Monday night meeting.
- How many opponents have the Jaguars never faced in primetime?
- Jacksonville has never faced 12 of its 31 possible opponents in primetime. Those teams are the Browns, Raiders, Patriots, Panthers, Bears, Lions, Cowboys, Eagles, 49ers, Commanders, Cardinals, and Rams. Counted one window at a time, the Jaguars have never faced 17 opponents on Monday night, 22 on Sunday night, and 21 on Thursday night; the 12 above are the ones missing from all three.
- Which teams have the Jaguars never played on Monday night?
- The Jaguars have never played the Browns, Raiders, Patriots, Seahawks, Falcons, Panthers, Bears, Lions, Cowboys, Vikings, Saints, Eagles, 49ers, Buccaneers, Commanders, Cardinals, and Rams on Monday night. That's 17 of their 31 possible opponents through the 2025 season.
- Which Jaguars matchups have only happened on Sunday afternoons?
- Six Jaguars matchups have occurred only in Sunday afternoon windows: Cleveland, Las Vegas, Carolina, Detroit, Washington, and Arizona. All of them are among the 12 opponents Jacksonville has never faced in primetime. Nothing on the 2026 schedule changes that.

- A schedulegami is the first time two teams meet in a scheduling window. A venue first means they have met in that window before, but one team has never hosted it.
About the data
MockSlate calls it a schedulegami when two teams meet in a scheduling window they have never shared before. The order of the two teams does not matter, and neither does the venue: two teams that have only ever met on Sunday night in one city have still met on Sunday night, so the same game in the other city is a venue first, not a schedulegami. Sunday afternoon windows never count. A game counts in every window it fits, so a Monday night game in Mexico City is both a Monday night game and an international game. Primetime here means Monday, Sunday, and Thursday night. Two levels are tracked: the first time two teams meet in one window, and the first time they meet anywhere but a Sunday afternoon.
Game history is the same record as Primetime & Holiday History, regular season only, with franchises carried forward under their current names; Monday night counts every Monday game the way that tool counts it. Coverage by window: Monday night: since 1970, every Monday game as Slot History counts it; Sunday night: since 1987; Thursday night: all Thursday games since 1966 as Slot History counts them; the first non-Thanksgiving Thursday game in the data is 1978; the weekly package began in 2006; Thanksgiving: since 1966; Christmas: since 1966; Saturday: since 1966; Kickoff Game: since 2002; International: since 2005; Friday: since 1966; Wednesday: all-time. A Sunday international game with a verified 8 PM ET or later kickoff counts as International and Sunday night; two games count, the 2005 49ers at Cardinals game in Mexico City and the 2026 Vikings at 49ers game in Mexico City. Schedulegami is a MockSlate term, first published September 2026.
