Thirteen games remain in Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season, with Dallas at Philadelphia, Cincinnati at Baltimore and a Pittsburgh–New Orleans fixture reported to be staged in Paris among the matchups still to be played. Those three are the fixtures the week has led with; the rest of the card is described only in number.

Thirteen games in a single week implies either that some clubs are not playing or that part of the schedule has already been completed. The week's material does not say which, and beyond the three fixtures at the top of the card it does not name the other ten.

Cowboys at Eagles leads the Week 7 card

Dallas's visit to Philadelphia is the first of the three named fixtures and the one placed at the front of the slate. It is the most conventional of the week's headline games: two NFL clubs meeting on home soil, with no international travel involved.

Cincinnati's trip to Baltimore is the second. Neither game comes with supporting detail — no availability news, no form guide and no scheduling information has been attached to either, leaving the pairings themselves as the substance of the week so far.

The third is different in kind. Pittsburgh and New Orleans are reported to be meeting in Paris, which would take one of the week's games outside the United States and give the slate a European setting. The league has not confirmed the fixture, the venue or the date, and neither club has commented on the arrangement. If it is confirmed, the game would be the week's only fixture played abroad; whether the NFL has staged a game in Paris before is not addressed in the week's material.

What is not yet known about the Week 7 slate

The full slate is not set out. Thirteen games remain, but only three are named. Team news for those three — who is available, who is carrying an injury and who starts at quarterback — has not been established. Nor has the league said anything publicly about the Paris fixture, leaving open the venue, the kickoff time and which club would be the designated home team.

What happens next

The remaining fixtures will be played and the week settled on the field. Until the league confirms the Paris game, though, the week's most distinctive fixture remains reported rather than scheduled, and the rest of the card carries little detail beyond the three names it leads with. Results will supply what the build-up has not.
