For fans of the 18 NFL teams that did not reach the playoffs, it’s understandable to spend Black Monday thinking about next year.
The 2024 regular season concluded Sunday with the Detroit Lions’ 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings to secure both the NFC North title and the top playoff seed in the conference. When that game was complete, the league was able to finalize the list of opponents for every team in 2025.
In the 17-game scheduling formula, three games on each team’s schedule are based on the prior season’s standings. Two intraconference opponents and one interconference opponent are determined by where teams placed in their divisions the year before.
As usual, each team will play six division games, four games against a division within its conference and another four games against a division from the opposite conference.
Below are the 2025 opponents for every team, listed by division. The schedule itself will be announced sometime this spring.
