The release of the 2025 NFL schedule is less than three weeks away. During the NFL Draft on Thursday, the league announced that the schedule will be coming out on Wednesday, May 14. That’s when the full 272-game schedule will be released.
The NFL used to release the schedule in April, but the league was forced to push it back to May during the 2020 COVID season and it’s been there ever since. The NFL’s vice president of broadcast planning, Mike North, recently said that the May release is something the league plans to stick with and one reason for that is because of the draft.
“One of the benefits of going a little bit later with the schedule release is getting the chance to see what happens in the draft,” North said during an interview on the It’s Always Gameday in Buffalo podcast this week. “What do any of us know? I think we kind of have a feel for the top couple of picks.”
Besides the draft, North said the schedule-makers will be watching out for a few other things over the next couple of weeks that could impact the schedule from possible trades to where Aaron Rodgers ends up signing.
“Are there some trades that are going to happen? Still waiting on a certain future Hall of Fame quarterback to sign somewhere, maybe this year,” North said. “Hopefully a lot of that is known by draft day.”
At this point, the most likely scenario for Rodgers is that he signs with the Steelers, but he could also retire. The Steelers host the Packers in 2025, so if Rodgers does sign with Pittsburgh, North and his crew will probably give the game a prominent spot on the schedule.
Speaking of the Steelers, they’re one of seven teams that will be sent abroad to host an international game this year. Here’s a look at the seven teams that will be hosting:
- London: Jaguars (Wembley Stadium)
- London: Jets (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
- London: Browns (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
- Berlin: Colts (Olympic Stadium)
- Dublin: Steelers (Croke Park)
- Madrid: Dolphins (Santiago Bernabéu Stadium)
- Sao Paulo: Chargers (Corinthians Arena)
There are also three other games where the home teams are set in stone for the upcoming season:
- Week 1 (Sept. 4): Eagles host the Thursday opener
- Thanksgiving (Nov. 27): Lions and Cowboys will both host a home game
Although the full schedule won’t be released until May 14, we do know the home-and-away opponents for all 32 teams and if you want to see that full list, you can check it out here.

Giants celebrate Brandon Crawford, walk off in the ninth
SAN FRANCISCO — On Saturday afternoon, Brandon Crawford stood behind a podium in front of the pitcher’s mound at Oracle Park and gave the longest speech of his life. It was the longest bit of public speaking he’d done since he was in school, by his own reckoning, and the speech made him “more nervous than Game 7 in Kansas City,” but he handled it with aplomb. A weekend day game with Bruce Bochy and the Rangers in town was already one of the easiest games on the calendar to circle, but the pregame ceremony made it even easier for the die-hards and Crawford fanatics. (Although we have questions for the gentleman in the powder-blue “CRAWFORD 35” Cardinals jersey in section 119. A lot of questions.)AdvertisementThe loudest cheers of the day weren’t for Crawford, though. They weren’t for the introductions […]

2025 NBA playoff bracket: First-round matchups, schedule, game times as Thunder advance to second round
The 2025 NBA Playoffs are in full swing, as the field remains wide-open as we march through the first round series. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder entered as the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences, but the defending champion Boston Celtics are considered the favorite by many experts and sportsbooks. The Thunder became the first NBA team to advance to the second round, completing a sweep of the Grizzlies on Saturday. The remaining Western Conference series are as follows: Rockets vs. Warriors, Lakers vs. Timberwolves and Nuggets vs. Clippers. The star-laden conference gives us superstars like Nikola Jokić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, LeBron James, Anthony Edwards and Kawhi Leonard all in action, and it promises to be a tight race to the finish. Out East, we've got the Cavs vs. Heat, Celtics vs. Magic, Knicks vs. Pistons and Pacers […]
2025 Kentucky Derby post positions, morning line odds: Gate assignments for all 20 horses in the field
Getty Images The 151st running of the Kentucky Derby is set for next Saturday, May 3 at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. On Saturday the 20 horses in the Derby field learned what post they would be running out of.The favorite, Journalism (3-1), drew the 8 post, while the only other horses with single-digit odds find themselves on the far outside of the starting gate. Sovereignty (5-1) drew the 18 post while Sandman (6-1) is alongside in the 17th position -- the only gate to never produce a Kentucky Derby winner. That means Sandman will have to look to make history next Saturday from that outside post. Last year's winner, Mystik Dan, won from the 3 gate, becoming the first horse to do so since 1998. The longest drought of any post aside from 17's 150-race winless streak belongs to the […]
Lions 2025 NFL Draft takeaways: Most needs were met, but was one edge rusher enough?
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Brad Holmes, for the final time this weekend, was on hand Saturday to put a bow on the 2025 NFL Draft, after welcoming seven new players to the Detroit Lions franchise he’s overseen for five of these events now.However, it wouldn’t be draft weekend without Holmes defending his selections and process, despite his track record of success.Advertisement“I think the tough part about it is that the people on the outside, they have very limited information about the decisions that we make and we have all the information which goes into that decision,” he said. “Also, not just the information that’s available, but also the work that we have to put into it. … And so someone that doesn’t do that work or has that information available to them, they don’t know that, so they’re going to […]
