Forbes and Yahoo Sports both publish a look at the “jock tax” that NFL players could owe in 2026, based on where teams conduct duty-related activities. The reports compile state-by-state estimates tied to duty days, training camp locations, and planned in-season game schedules, including nine international games. The figures identify which players are expected to generate the largest tax exposure because of the locations where their teams play and hold official activities. While the underlying concept is the same across sources—estimating state tax liability based on time spent in each state—the articles present the results through player-specific rankings and duty-location breakdowns. The coverage does not claim the final tax bill will match the estimate exactly, since individual circumstances and state tax rules can affect outcomes. Overall, the reports frame the issue as a predictable administrative consequence of an NFL schedule that spans multiple states and includes international events.
