As the NFL<\/a> continues to expand its reach and capitalizes on the ever-growing popularity of the sport both domestically and globally, talk of adding an 18th regular-season game has become more apparent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NFL Players\u2019 Association has said players “have no appetite for a regular-season 18th game,” while owners like New England Patriots\u2019 Robert Kraft believes “every team will go 18” at some point sooner than later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For former MVP quarterback Cam Newton<\/a>, he\u2019s taking a step back and viewing an 18th regular-season game from both sides. That assessment has him believing preseason games, which every team plays three before Week 1 of the regular season, will become even more diluted. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“Man, it\u2019s a lot on the body,” he told Fox News Digital about another regular-season game added to the schedule, while discussing his Iconic Saga Productions partnership with Offscript Worldwide. “If you really look at it, what\u2019s happening is they\u2019re devaluing preseason games as we know it to be, and they\u2019re trying to put it on the back end.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Because, one thing we all know \u2014 and I say this with all due respect \u2014 America\u2019s new game has been, for some time, American football. It\u2019s just good business. The Super Bowl<\/a> garners a global audience that no sporting event can attest to, especially domestically in the United States. So, they know, the more they give, the more they\u2019re able to garner from difference audiences.”<\/p>\n

So, as Newton sees this simply as “good business” for the NFL, he\u2019s implying the league will once again drop a preseason game from a team\u2019s schedule to add the 18th game. It\u2019s what happened when the 17th regular-season game was added in 2021, as the preseason schedule was reduced from four to three games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BILLS STAR DION DAWKINS EXPLAINS HIS \u2018COUNTER\u2019 TO POTENTIAL NFL 18TH GAME: \u2018CAREERS ARE ONLY GETTING SHORTER\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“I think, when you\u2019re talking about the 18th game, it really comes down to if teams are going to really focus on preseason, or negate preseason altogether, just to get right into the regular season. That\u2019s going to be interesting to kind of see,” Newton added.<\/p>\n

While the NFLPA has pushed back at the potential of an 18th game, citing player safety as one of the main reasons behind keeping the schedule as is, others like Buffalo Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins see it as inevitable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s going to happen either way,” he told Fox News Digital in a recent interview.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Then, 20 years later, guess what? We’re talking about a 19th, then we’ll be talking about a 20th.\u2026 Then it’s like, ‘Yeah, we are combat athletes all year long.’ But who knows,” Dawkins added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For now, 17 games is what the NFL schedule will read in 2026. But, as Dawkins noted, who really knows?\u00a0<\/p>\n

To Newton\u2019s point, it\u2019s simply good business as demand continues to skyrocket for the league as each season passes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newton may not be on the field any longer, but he remains tuned in with the NFL and every other sports moment through his content creation, most notably his “Funky Friday” and “4th & 1 with Cam Newton” shows as part of his Iconic Saga Productions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newton and his production team announced a major partnership with Offscript Worldwide, a creator-owned ecosystem that connects culture-shaping brands and platforms under one roof, which includes REVOLT Sports and 3BlackDot.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Offscript unveiled this new partnership at the 2026 IAB NewFronts, where they will begin collaborating with Newton\u2019s independent production powerhouse, integrating his hit shows and amplifying the reach of athlete-driven storytelling for global brands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“When you really think about Offscript, it\u2019s like the ecosystem that bridges so many different facets of our lives, from sports, to culture, to lifestyle and so many different things,” Newton explained. “That transition for me wasn\u2019t foreign. Instead of training to be the best football player, or the best athlete. Now, I\u2019m just training to be the best content creator I can possibly be.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I just always want to be a beacon of the person, in a lot of ways, figured it out as I went. I\u2019m just so thrilled that Offscript gives me and Iconic Saga the opportunity to continue to believe in our vision, and we\u2019re not able to do these things without great partners like this.”<\/p>\n

As this partnership kicks off, Newton will also be hitting the road for the “4th & 1 College Tailgate Experience,” visiting HBCU\u2019s across the U.S. to celebrate their heritage and shine a national spotlight on student-athletes, academic programs, and the unique game-day culture that defines what it means to be an HBCU.\u00a0<\/p>\n
