The 2025 NFL schedule will be released this week. We already know who the New York Giants will be facing in a critical season for the Joe Schoen-Brian Daboll regime. By Wednesday night, May 14, we will know for sure.

Truthfully, we will likely know before then. The NFL, masters of being at the forefront of the 24/7 sports news cycle, will release major games on the schedule in tiny bites over the next couple of days. Every media member with a potential scheduling source will be trying to beat the official announcements by posting rumored game dates.

We will be tracking it all here.
