How many games ended in a tie during the 2026 NFL preseason?
Answer
Two games
Two games ended in a tie during the 2026 NFL preseason.
The first was Indianapolis 13, New England 13 in Week 1. The second was Seattle 9, Kansas City 9 in Week 3. No other 2026 preseason game finished level.
Those results produced unusual records for the teams involved. Indianapolis, Seattle and Kansas City each finished 0–2–1, while New England finished 1–1–1. In NFL record notation, the third number represents ties.
Preseason ties do not affect regular-season standings. The games remain part of the historical exhibition record, but all teams begin the regular season with no wins, losses or ties carried over from August.
