With the 2023 NFL regular season in the books, it’s a good time to look ahead to next season’s schedules for all 32 teams. All home and away opponents have been entirely determined.
We still have to wait until May to learn the dates of all 2024 regular-season matchups, but we at least know the divisions each team is slated to play, along with the two matchups based on standings inside the conference from the previous season and the one quirky intraconference game, which was added after the league expanded to a 17-game schedule. And, of course, we know the three divisional opponents each team plays twice a year.
The NFL uses a rotation system to make sure each team plays one another at least once every four years. Flexible scheduling also helps showcase the best late-season matchups to the largest audiences, and the schedule-makers consider bye weeks and travel to maintain competitive equity. The schedule-makers will also account for international games, including the one based in São Paulo, Brazil, marking the league’s first game staged in South America.
