Which team did the Jacksonville Jaguars defeat 24–20 in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL preseason?
Answer
New Orleans Saints
The Jacksonville Jaguars defeated the New Orleans Saints 24–20 in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL preseason.
Jacksonville played at New Orleans on August 15, 2026. The four-point result was part of the first full weekend of preseason action, following the Carolina–Arizona Hall of Fame Game on August 6.
The Jaguars and Saints were scheduled to meet only once during the 2026 preseason. Jacksonville’s other preseason opponents were Carolina and Tampa Bay. New Orleans later faced the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2 and the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3, so the 24–20 result belongs specifically to the Saints’ opening game against Jacksonville.
