Following the end of the NFL regular season on Sunday night, we can now calculate each team’s opponents for 2025.
Under the NFL scheduling formula, each franchise plays every team in its own division twice. It also plays every team in one other AFC division and one other NFC division. These other AFC and NFC divisions rotate every year. This accounts for 14 games of the 17-game schedule.
Then, each franchise plays the team from the remaining two divisions of its own conference with the same division finish in the previous season — and the team in a rotating division of the other conference with the same division finish.
