The NFL 2025 Opponents Determined

Under the NFL scheduling formula, every team plays 17 games as follows:

• 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.

The 2025 schedule, with playing dates and times, will be announced in the spring.

Following is the 2025 scheduling rotation and team-by-team opponents.
