The Buffalo Bills’ 2024 schedule is now complete; the team finalized its full preseason slate Thursday morning just a few hours after releasing its full regular season schedule Wednesday night, letting fans know the dates and times of the games that will take place amid the team’s summer roster cutdown.

The Steelers and Panthers are also typical preseason opponents for Buffalo, with the team also visiting the Steel City during last year’s preseason. The Pittsburgh contest will also be a revenge game for Bills’ backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who (underwhelmingly) played for the Steelers from 2022-2023.

The now oft-preseason matchup between Buffalo and Carolina allows Bills head coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane to face off against the team they previously served as the defensive coordinator and assistant general manager of, respectively; there are now additional links between Buffalo and Carolina, and Panthers general manager Dan Morgan served as Buffalo’s director of player personnel from 2018–2020.
