If the Bills win, they don’t have one guaranteed opponent locked in yet; it depends on the results of the other AFC Wild Card games.

If Bills win, who’s next?

Because the NFL re-seeds after the Wild Card round and the Bills are the No. 6 seed, their next game is the Divisional Round on the road, but the exact opponent is situation-based.

  • If the Patriots beat the Chargers , the Bills would travel to play the Denver Broncos , the AFC’s No. 1 seed, in Denver.
  • If the Chargers beat the Patriots , the Bills would travel to face the winner of the Steelers–Texans game (either in Pittsburgh or Houston).

When and where is the next game?

  • The Divisional Round is scheduled for January 17–18, 2026 , with games split between those two days.
  • As the No. 6 seed , the Bills will be on the road no matter what in the Divisional Round; a home game would only be possible in a very specific AFC title scenario.

Quick forum-style recap

If the Bills win, who do they play next?

    • Broncos in Denver if the Patriots win.
* Winner of **Steelers vs. Texans** on the road **if the Chargers win**.
