How the NFL Rivalries Uniform Series Works

The Nike and NFL Rivalries program gives each participating team a bold alternate uniform built around a division rivalry, and the team debuts it in a head-to-head matchup against that rival. The 2026 reveal covers all four AFC South teams (Colts, Texans, Jaguars, Titans) and all four NFC North teams (Bears, Lions, Packers, Vikings). Rival pairs face off wearing the new looks, with Bears-Packers and Lions-Vikings anchoring the NFC North and the four AFC South teams rotating through their long-running rivalries. More divisions are expected to join the series in future seasons.
