The 2026 season opens with the Seahawks hosting the Patriots at Lumen Field on a rare Wednesday kickoff, and by the following Sunday there will be games running from Charlotte to Detroit to Melbourne, Australia, where the 49ers and Rams open the international slate. That kind of spread across the map is exactly why late summer is when road-trip planning actually needs to start rather than the week before a game.

I am always driving around the U.S., either for work or fun, and more often than not an impulsive detour is part of the agenda. One of the more enjoyable, and surprisingly economical, detours started off as a weekend visit to Pittsburgh, PA. It quickly became something more.
