The NFL calendar is never-ending. While the 2024 season concluded with February's Super Bowl—a dominant 40-22 Philadelphia Eagles win over the Kansas City Chiefs—we rolled into the scouting combine just two weeks later, followed by free agency, and next Thursday, we're onto the NFL draft.
2025 football, here we come.
Speaking of 2025 football, the next big event following the draft is the NFL's schedule release. While each team's home and away opponents for next season have already been determined, the league unveils its 272-game regular season schedule—with dates, times, and locations—on a given date in the spring and like everything else they do, turns it into an over-the-top event.
So when will the 2025 schedule be released? We have your answer.
