Baltimore Ravens vs Indianapolis Colts preview
Baltimore Ravens enter the 2026 season looking to return to the playoffs after finishing 8-9 in 2025 and missing the postseason for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign.
Lamar Jackson remains the centerpiece of the Ravens offense, while Derrick Henry gives Baltimore one of the league's most powerful rushing threats. The combination of Jackson's mobility and Henry's production on the ground will be a major part of the team's offensive identity.
The Ravens also begin a new era under head coach Jesse Minter. His first regular-season game in charge comes on the road against an Indianapolis team looking to make its own push toward contention.
Indianapolis Colts will play their fourth consecutive season opener at home. The Colts also finished 2025 with an 8-9 record and will look to use home-field advantage at Lucas Oil Stadium to start the new campaign with a win.
The matchup gives both teams an immediate opportunity to make a statement. Baltimore wants to establish itself as an AFC contender again, while Indianapolis hopes its home opener can provide the foundation for a stronger season.
The teams last met during the 2023 regular season, when Indianapolis defeated Baltimore 22-19 in overtime in Baltimore. The Week 1 meeting will give both franchises a chance to write a new chapter in the series.
