The 2026 NFL season begins in six days with a Super Bowl LX rematch: the Seattle Seahawks host the New England Patriots on Wednesday (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC). Josh McDaniels returns as the Patriots' playcaller, while Brian Fleury replaces Seattle's 2025 offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who became the Las Vegas Raiders' head coach, making him one of 18 new offensive playcallers this season.

Veteran coaches Andy Reid (Kansas City Chiefs), Kyle Shanahan (San Francisco 49ers), and Sean McVay (Los Angeles Rams) continue calling plays, but Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton surprisingly handed duties to offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Old faces have resurfaced: Mike McCarthy as Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, Frank Reich with the New York Jets, Brian Daboll as Tennessee Titans OC, and Mike McDaniel as Los Angeles Chargers' OC.

First-time playcallers include Baltimore Ravens OC Declan Doyle, Philadelphia Eagles OC Sean Mannion, and Washington Commanders OC David Blough. With so many changes, here's a look at who calls plays for all 32 teams, plus key stats from ESPN Research.

In Buffalo, Joe Brady calls plays for Josh Allen, having moved from interim OC to head coach. Since 2024, the Bills rank second in points per game (29.6) and first in offensive EPA. In Miami, Bobby Slowik tailors the offense around De'Von Achane and Malik Willis, after the Dolphins had the NFL's second-highest screen attempt percentage (14%) last season.
