The NFL appears less than a month away from announcing its schedule for the 2025 season, as a league higher-up revealed in a recent interview.
The Draft will run from April 24-26, and the schedule reveal will come soon after according to NFL VP of broadcast planning and scheduling Mike North.
North appeared on the It’s Always Gameday in Buffalo podcast earlier this month and told listeners that the league was ‘probably’ targeting May 13, 14 or 15 for the schedules to be announced.
That date would be consistent with the timing of last year’s schedule release, which occurred on May 15.
While the schedules are not yet known, each team does know its 2025 opponents (without dates), with the defending-champion Eagles set to face a grueling slate including the Rams, Lions, Chiefs, Packers. Bills and Vikings in addition to their usual NFC East foes.
It’s also known that the Eagles will kick off the season on Thursday, September 4, though their opponent for Week 1 has yet to be announced.
