How is the NFL schedule determined?

The NFL has detailed rules about how the schedule comes together. Check out the specifics below:

  • Each team plays 17 regular season games.
  • Each team receives a bye week.
  • Teams alternate seasons where they host nine regular season games and one preseason game or eight regular season games and two preseason games.
  • Each team has six games against divisional opponents – two against each team, one at home and one on the road.
  • Each team has four games against teams from a division within its conference – two games at home and two on the road.
  • Each team has four games against teams from a division in the other conference – two games at home and two on the road.
  • Each team has two games against teams from the two remaining divisions in its own conference – one game at home and one on the road. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.
  • The 17th game for each team is an additional game against a non-conference opponent from a division that the team is not scheduled to play. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.
