Highmark Stadium Inaugural Season Logo Unveiled as Bills Reveal Jersey Patch
The Buffalo Bills unveiled the highmark stadium inaugural season logo, a circular crest centered on the team's charging buffalo that includes a stylized render of the stadium, and said the emblem will appear as a jersey patch for the first home game of the 2026 season. The reveal arrives as the team prepares for its move into the new football-first venue and for merchandise, ticket and schedule details later in the offseason.
Highmark Stadium Inaugural Season Logo: the crest and the patch
The circular crest is centered around the iconic charging buffalo and features a stylized rendering of the stadium to symbolize a new home for football in Western New York, and the team confirmed the patch will include the words "Inaugural Season" and the year "2026" on the top and bottom of the circular design. The team will wear the patch on its jerseys for the first home game at the new Highmark Stadium, with the date of that game to be revealed later in the offseason when the 2026 schedule is announced.
What will be on the field and when it was installed
The organization invited fans to take an exclusive look at the first photos of the complete grass field installed at Highmark Stadium, noting the New Stadium Construction sod install took place on October 10, 2025. The sod-install photos were posted as part of the stadium update showing the finished grass surface at the new venue.
Eight opponents lined up for 2026 home slate
Buffalo will host eight opponents at Highmark Stadium in 2026: the Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Chiefs, Chargers, Bears, Lions and Ravens. The full NFL schedule will be released later this spring, and the identity and date of the first home opponent will be announced with that schedule.
Merchandise, seats and priority access
The team said it will offer an exclusive inaugural season merchandise line available for online purchase, and it reminded fans there is still time to place a seat deposit to secure a spot on the Priority List. Permanent seat licenses (PSLs) are currently sold out, and Priority List members have first access for future Season Ticket opportunities and for single-game standing room tickets.
A note on the move to the new stadium
The team described the new venue as a football-first stadium and said it is set to see its first Bills game this fall; elsewhere the organization has framed the move as part of the 2026 season transition, with the jersey patch marking the first home game at Highmark Stadium in 2026. The date for the patched first home game will be declared when the 2026 schedule is published later this spring.
