The Buffalo Bills’ new venue is something else.
A jaw-dropping aerial view of Highmark Stadium, the new home of the NFL’s Buffalo Bills, has surfaced.
The new Highmark Stadium is slated to open for the upcoming 2026 season. The Bills completed their final season at the old Highmark Stadium (previously Ralph Wilson Stadium) from 1973 to 2025.
Fans were blown away by the early artist renderings of the new stadium. Now you can see what the nearly completed product looks like. And it is absolutely beautiful:
Per the Democrat and Chronicle, the cost of the new Highmark Stadium is $2.1 billion. The stadium will have a capacity of about 62,000, a considerable decrease from the old stadium’s capacity of over 70,000.
2026 will also mark the Bills’ first season of the post-Sean McDermott era. In a surprise move, Buffalo fired McDermott after its Divisional Round loss to the Denver Broncos. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady was promoted to HC at age 36.
Obviously, the annual home tilt with the New England Patriots immediately stands out, now that Buffalo has competition again in the AFC East. Buffalo will also host Patrick Mahomes’ Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Chargers, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears, all Super Bowl hopefuls in 2026.
Buffalo will also host the AFC East rivals New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, two games that already feel like blowout wins for the home team.
