2025 NFL schedule release summary including Sunday and Monday Night Football games
The NFL's schedule release did not disappoint, as there looks to be no shortage of entertaining primetime matchups slated for Thursday, Sunday and Monday nights
The 2025 NFL season has officially taken shape after the league’s full schedule was released on Wednesday - and early indicators suggest this year will have no shortage of thrilling primetime clashes.
The upcoming campaign kicks off with a bang in Week 1, as the Ravens visit the Bills on Sunday, Sept. 7. The matchup between 2024 MVP finalists Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson is also a rematch of the 2024 AFC Divisional Round, which ended in agony for Baltimore after tight end Mark Andrews made a crucial drop on the goal line during a two-point conversion attempt.
Then in Week 6, the Commanders will host the Bears on Monday, Oct. 13 - setting the stage for a quarterback duel between second-year signal-callers Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams. The last time these two teams faced off, Washington stunned Chicago by completing a walk-off hail mary touchdown pass - in large part thanks to defensive back Tyrique Stevenson, who was taunting fans during the play.
Come holiday time, families will be able to gather around the television and watch pivotal games pitting divisional rivals against one another. On Thanksgiving, the Bengals will face off against the Ravens, while the Broncos will take on the Chiefs on Christmas.
Fans will have no trouble watching Kansas City in the early stages of the season, as the Chiefs stand as the only team in NFL history to be given five primetime games over the first eight weeks of a campaign.
This isn’t the only history being made by the 2025 schedule. The NFL will play a record-breaking seven international games - the most in league history - with Brazil, Ireland, England, Germany, and Spain set to host games.
