The NFL knows how to keep fans engaged year-round, seamlessly transitioning from one major event to the next. During Thursday’s first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the league made an announcement that captured attention: the 2025 schedule will officially be released on Wednesday, May 14. The news was delivered via the NFL’s official Twitter account, stating, “We interrupt this Draft for an important announcement: 2025 NFL Schedule Release. Wednesday May 14.”
What sets the NFL apart is its ability to turn routine announcements into must-watch events. Schedule releases in sports have always been a source of anticipation, but the NFL takes it a step further with leaks, analysis, and television specials devoted to breaking down key matchups. The league has transformed the unveiling of its schedule into a celebration of the upcoming season.

While fans eagerly await the complete schedule, several aspects of the 2025 season are already confirmed. As defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles will host the season opener at home on Thursday, September 4. The Los Angeles Chargers will host the second annual NFL game in Brazil the following day, launching the league’s expanded international slate.
International presence like never before
The NFL’s global outreach continues to grow, with 2025 marking its most ambitious schedule yet for international games. The Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, and Jacksonville Jaguars are set to play in London, while the Indianapolis Colts will be the home team for a matchup in Germany. Meanwhile, the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers will make history with the NFL’s inaugural games in Madrid, Spain, and Dublin, Ireland, respectively. Looking further ahead, the league has also announced plans to host a game in Melbourne, Australia, in 2026.
Traditional NFL staples remain firmly in place, such as the annual Thanksgiving Day games hosted by the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys, along with a third primetime matchup. The league’s Christmas Day tradition continues, with the Kansas City Chiefs reportedly lobbying for the featured spot. These holiday fixtures add to the excitement and build anticipation for marquee moments.
With the schedule release less than three weeks away, the NFL once again proves its mastery of keeping fans captivated. From the draft to international games, holiday matchups, and week-to-week excitement, the league ensures that football remains an ever-present conversation. As fans prepare for May 14, the NFL’s 2025 schedule promises to deliver yet another memorable season.

Panthers’ draft shows how much faith they have in Bryce Young
The run from “starting franchise quarterback” to “benched bust” to “rejuvenated savior” is a solid arc over an entire career; Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold both reached Station 3 last year. Over in Carolina, though, Bryce Young sped-run through all the stations in just one season. After Thursday night’s first round of the draft, it’s clear that the Panthers are tripling down on Young’s potential, yet another bounce in the NFL’s most pinballing quarterback career.With the eighth pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Panthers selected wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan out of Arizona. McMillan himself is a defensible, potentially exceptional pick. He projects as a WR1, and Yahoo Sports’ Charles McDonald gave the Panthers a B for adding McMillan’s “depth and starting talent” to the roster. The pick apparently incensed the Cowboys’ Micah Parsons, who wanted the receiver at No. […]

NFL Draft: Is Thomas Perry the most unlikely pick in this year’s class?
Shortly before he turned 16, Thomas Perry surprised his parents with a very unusual request for a birthday present. At the same age that many kids beg for a trendy car or truck to drive, Perry asked for a single oversized tractor tire.Amused but curious, Perry’s dad asked his son why exactly he wanted the tire.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“So I can flip it up and down the road,” the young offensive lineman responded matter-of-factly.The monstrous tire that the family acquired weighed several hundred pounds and came up to Perry’s chest. Flipping it end-over-end became a staple of Perry’s workouts, first around his cul de sac, then to the main road and back and eventually a mile and a half to and from the center of his small, rural Connecticut hometown.“He would push himself harder and harder,” his mom Karen told Yahoo Sports.Stories like […]
