Understanding the NFL Scheduling Process

The NFL adheres to a detailed protocol for creating the season schedule. Here are the key points regarding how matchups are determined:

• Each team plays a total of 17 regular-season games.
• Every team is allotted one bye week.
• Teams alternate hosting arrangements, either nine regular-season games with one preseason game or eight regular-season games with two preseason games.
• Divisional games consist of six contests, with each team playing two games against every divisional opponent (one home, one away).
• Teams play four games against teams from another division within their conference (two home, two away).
• Four additional games are scheduled against teams from a division in the opposite conference (two home, two away).
• Each team faces two teams from the remaining divisions in its own conference (one home, one away), with matchups based on the previous season’s divisional rankings.
• The 17th game will feature a non-conference opponent from a division not currently on the schedule, also based on divisional ranking from the previous season.

Schedule Release Date

The complete 2025 NFL schedule is set to be released on Wednesday, May 14. This announcement comes one day earlier than last year’s reveal and is highly anticipated among fans and teams alike, as it encompasses all 32 teams’ matchups for the 18-week season.
