TheNFL schedule releaseused to just be a graphic and a tweet.
Now it’s NFL social media teams’ Super Bowl.
Somewhere along the way, NFL teams realized fans don’t just want toseethe schedules anymore. They want cinema. They want art. They want inside jokes so obscure you’ll only find them on Reddit threads and YouTube comments.
And every year the bar gets higher.
Which means somewhere inside the LA Chargers facility, a sleep-deprived video editor is already working on next year’s masterpiece.
So after sitting through all 32 videos — yes, all of them — here areThe California Post’sofficial rankings for the 2026 NFL schedule release videos:
Nobody does schedule release videos better than the Chargers.
This year’s “Halo” parodywasn’t just a spoof. It was a full-scale production that looked identical to the actual video game. What set it apart from all the rest was its creativity, attention to detail, production value, easter eggs, understanding of internet culture, subtle references, and of course its unparalleled ability to troll their opponents.
The Chargers once again weaponized the internet better than any team in sports. And yes, they went after theMike Vrabel-Dianna Russini scandal, and were the only team to do it. They even shouted out us with a “NY Post sent you a message” pop-up notification. You’ll have to watch it several times to get all the jokes, but it was a 10 out of 10. No notes.
