Buffalo Rumblings
Tracking all of the team’s potential and confirmed dates with destiny in 2025
Welcome to the NFL schedule release! The 2025 edition includes multiple slow-drip announcements from TV networks throughout the league leading up to Wednesday’s official schedule release, so we are starting early.
Monday, May 12 gives us the first glimpse of upcoming matchups with reveals on NBC (“The Today Show”), FOX, and Prime Video. Then on Tuesday, May 13 you can tune in for the latest NFL schedule news and rumors with ESPN (“Good Morning America”), and the NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” for information on the 2025 season’s International Games slate.

NBC, FOX, and Prime Video will all have announcements of part of their schedule on Monday, May 12th. ESPN will have some Monday Night Football announcements on Tuesday’s Good Morning America. Netflix will announce Christmas Day games on Wednesday alongside CBS and their schedule release.
Buffalo plays at four potential international NFL hosts in 2025: Dolphins (Madrid), Steelers (Dublin), Browns (London), and Jets (London).
The NFL hasn’t put a divisional game overseas since 2019, so I think it’s really unlikely Buffalo plays Miami in Spain and mostly unlikely Buffalo plays at the Jets in London. While not exclusive, they’ve tended to favor inter-conference matchups, but...
