Nike x NFL Rivalries uniforms return for 2026 season with 8 new teams, including Lions and Texans

With a new NFL season around the corner, the league and Nike are building off the success of last year’s "Nike x NFL Rivalries" program, a first-of-its-kind uniform and apparel collection manufactured and sold by Fanatics, which was designed to deepen the connection fans and communities have with their football teams.

For the 2026 campaign, eight new teams continue the Nike x NFL Rivalries program through distinct uniform designs created for each participating team.

The teams include teams from the AFC South – the Houston Texans , Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Indianapolis Colts – and NFC North – the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers.
