The 2024 NFL schedule will be released on Wednesday, May 15, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get a sneak peek at the 272 games that will be on the docket this year. Thanks to the NFL’s scheduling formula, we know who the 17 opponents for all 32 teams will be, so let’s take a look at them.
Some of the biggest games on the 2024 schedule will include:
Each NFC team will have nine home games this year, meaning the conference will host the most international games. There will be a total of five international games in 2024 and we know the host team for four of those games: The Bears, Vikings, Jaguars will play a home game in London, while the Panthers will play a home game in Germany (You can get the full international fixture details here).
With that in mind, let’s take a look at the 2024 home and away opponents for all 32 teams.
How it works
- Home and away against their three division opponents (six games).
- The four teams from another division of their conference on a three-year rotating cycle (four games).
- The four teams from one division of the other conference on a four-year rotating cycle (four games).
- Two intraconference games based on the previous year’s standings (two games). These games pit a first place team against the first place teams in the two divisions of the same conference that the team is not scheduled to play in that season. The second-, third-, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched the same each year.
- An interconference game based on the previous year’s standings on a four-year rotating cycle (a game). These games pit a first-place team from one division against a first-place team from a division from the opposite conference that the team is not scheduled to play in that season. The second, third and fourth placed teams in each division are matched the same each year. The home conference for this game will rotate each season, with AFC teams hosting the game in 2023.
Here’s a brief explanation of the NFL’s scheduling formula, which was implemented in 2002 and revised in 2021 when the 17th game was added. Each team will play:
Mark your calendars
