The official dates and times for the NFL 2025 season aren’t out yet—they’ll be announced later this spring. But we already know who each team will face and where they’ll play. The NFL uses a simple formula to create its 17-game regular-season schedule. Don’t worry if it sounds tricky—we’ll break it down and give you the full list of opponents for every team!
How the NFL Schedule Works
The NFL has a set way of deciding who plays who each year. Here’s how it goes in easy terms:
- Division Games (6 Games): Every team plays the other three teams in their division twice—once at home and once away. That’s more than a third of their schedule!
- Conference Matchups (4 Games): Each team plays all four teams from another division in their conference (AFC or NFC). This switches every three years.
- Opposite Conference Games (4 Games): Teams also face four teams from a division in the other conference (like AFC vs. NFC). This rotates every four years.
- Extra Games (3 Games): The last three games come from teams in the two remaining divisions in their conference, plus one from the opposite conference. These matchups depend on how teams finished last season (like 1st place vs. 1st place).
Confused? No problem! Below, we’ve listed every team’s 2025 opponents so you can see exactly who your favorite team will play.
