The 2025 NFL schedule won’t be released until May, but you don’t have to wait that long to find out who your favorite team will be playing. Thanks to the NFL’s scheduling formula, we know who the home and road opponents will be for all 32 teams, which means we can take a look at all 272 games that will be on the schedule in 2025.
Some of the biggest games on the 2024 schedule will include:
And let’s not forget about the Lions’ ENTIRE road schedule: Of their nine games away from Detroit, eight of them will be against teams that finished the season with a winning record in 2024: Packers, Vikings, Ravens, Eagles, Commanders, Rams , Chiefs and Bengals.
Each AFC team will have nine home games this year, meaning the conference will host the majority of international games.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 2024 home-and-away opponents for all 32 teams.
how it works
- Home and away against their three division opponents (six games).
- The four teams from another division within their conference on a three-year rotating cycle (four games).
- The four teams from one division in the other conference on a four-year rotating cycle (four games).
- Two intraconference games based on the previous year’s standings (two games). These games pit a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two divisions of the same conference that the team is not scheduled to play in that season. The second, third and fourth place teams in a conference are paired the same way each year.
- An interconference game based on the previous year’s standings on a four-year rotating cycle (a game). These games pit a first-place team in a division against a first-place team in a division from the opposite conference that the team is not scheduled to play in that season. The second, third and fourth place teams in each division are paired the same way each year. The home conference for this game will rotate each season, with AFC teams hosting the game in 2023.
Here’s a brief explanation of the NFL’s scheduling formula, which was implemented in 2002 and revised in 2021 when the 17th game was added. Each team will play:
Mark your calendars
