2025 regular-season opponents for every team

Have a look on 2025 regular season opponents for the 32 teams

The 2024 regular season has just ended, and the franchises already know their opponents for the 2025 season, which will kick off next September.

The 2025 season will once again feature 17 games spread over 18 weeks of competition, including several international games, with two new cities joining the lineup: Madrid and Berlin.

How is the NFL schedule created?

The NFL uses a “formula” to determine each team’s schedule every season.

Home and away against its three division opponents (six games).
The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating, three-year cycle (four games).
The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating, four-year cycle (four games).
Two intraconference opponents based on the prior year’s standings (two games). These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.
One interconference opponent based on the prior year’s standings on a rotating four-year cycle (one game). These games match a first-place team from one division against a first-place team in an opposite-conference division that the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place and fourth-place teams in each division are matched in the same way each year. The home conference for this game will rotate.

A longtime fan of the four major American sports, I now oversee the editorial strategy and social media for all versions of The Playoffs. I still occasionally write about sports I’m particularly passionate about, such as the NFL or MLB. If there’s one thing you should remember: Eli Manning is the true GOAT for beating Tom Brady twice.
