The 2026 season will be the New York Giants' 102nd in the National Football League (NFL), their fifth under general manager Joe Schoen and their first season under head coach John Harbaugh. Harbaugh spent the previous 18 seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. They will seek to improve upon their 2025 record of 4–13, make the playoffs after a three-year absence, end their 14-year NFC East title drought, which is currently the longest active drought in the NFC, and put an end to three consecutive seasons with fewer than seven wins.
