The official offices of the NFL just posted their entire calendar for the 2024-2025 season and I thought it’d be a great idea to put together a more consolidated list featuring the most important dates that anyone from the casual fan to the die-hard would love to have handy.
So without further ado, here is a handy list you can bookmark for the foreseeable future:
August 1: Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio (Bears vs. Texans)
August 8-11: First Preseason Weekend
August 15-18: Second Preseason Weekend
August 22-25: Third Preseason Weekend
August 27: Deadline for all 32 teams to cut their rosters down to 53 players
November 5: NFL Trade Deadline
January 11-13: Wildcard Weekend
January 18-19: Divisional Round
January 20: College Football Playoff Championship Game
January 26: AFC/NFC Championship Games
