The 2016 Indianapolis Colts schedule has been released, featuring a trip to London and hosting a game on Thanksgiving.

We’ve know for some time that the Colts would face off against the Jaguars in London on October 2, but now we have the full picture for the 2016 season. The Colts will face the NFC North, AFC West, the Steelers, Jets, and of course the rest of the AFC South.

The Colts will host the Steelers on Thanksgiving evening. This will be the first home Thursday night game the Colts have played since Andrew Luck was drafted.

One interesting schedule quirk: the Colts won’t face the Patriots in the regular season. The two teams have squared off a staggering 17 times since 2003.

The Colts open the season on September 11 hosting the Detroit Lions in a late afternoon contest. The next week, they’ll head to Denver to take on the Broncos, sans Peyton Manning. The Colts were one of the teams able to defeat the Super Bowl champs in 2015.

Mercifully, the Colts won’t have to travel to Green Bay in December when the weather becomes an issue. The Colts will also be at Minnesota for the inaugural season for US Bank Stadium.

The Colts have just three night games this season but will also be an early morning feature when they play in London.

We’ll have a full schedule breakdown up soon.
