Snapshot: finals through October 18, 2026. Preseason does not count toward the regular-season record. Source notes.
Buccaneers at Panthers
Sunday, October 25, 2026 · 1:00 p.m. ET · FOX
Bank of America Stadium · Away game
The divisional voyage starts here. Pack the pewter, steady the compass, and let the Parrot handle the directions—provided he can stop arguing with the GPS.
This panel reflects the pre-Week 7 snapshot, not a live game feed.
The Captain’s season brief
Welcome aboard the current-season log. The Bucs are 1–5 through six games, with a road win in Dallas and an overtime loss to Pittsburgh in the latest completed matchup. The numbers belong in the ledger; the adventures belong to the krewe.
Below, the schedule does the navigating. Completed games link to your GameDay reviews, future opponents lead into matchup history, and the Pirate reports supply the rum-soaked commentary. Win or lose, the colors stay flying.
