Titans 2025 NFL schedule release live updates: Leaks, time, opponents
The Tennessee Titans' schedule for the 2025 NFL season will be announced on Wednesday, giving fans the guide map to how rookie quarterback Cam Ward will have to navigate his first season as a pro. After finishing 3-14 in 2024 and earning the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Titans will earn the benefit of playing a last-place schedule in 2025, meaning they'll face one of the least difficult strengths of schedule in the NFL. Ward, coach Brian Callahan and company will face opponents from the AFC South, AFC West and NFC West as well as single games against New England, New Orleans and Cleveland. Advertisement While the NFL will announce the full schedule for 2025 on Wednesday, expect individual games to be announced ahead of time and leaks to start filtering across the internet throughout the week, especially throughout the day Wednesday. International games were announced on Tuesday. Follow along below for live updates and the latest Titans and league news ahead of the NFL schedule release. BUY TENNESSEE TITANS 2025 TICKETS ROSTER TALK: Way-too-early Tennessee Titans 53-man roster projection after 2025 NFL Draft Tennessee Titans schedule release live updates Has the full NFL schedule been leaked? Based on leaks across the internet and social media, the folks at ProGrid seem to think they've got the entire 2025 NFL schedule figured out. This schedule would have the Titans playing zero primetime games and starting the year with a brutal stretch that includes matchups against the Broncos, Rams, Texans and Cardinals in the first five weeks. The bye would come in the second week of November.

Most notably, a couple of leaks of the Patriots' schedule has the Titans welcoming former coach Mike Vrabel back to town in Week 7 for a mid-season showdown. We'll see the full schedule be released here very soon. 4 p.m. Wednesday: Chiefs game late in year? A reported leak of the Kansas City Chiefs' schedule has the Titans hosting Patrick Mahomes and company in Week 16, albeit on an unknown day and time. Given the fact that Week 16 will make up the games the week before Christmas and the Chiefs are booked to play on Christmas, this game could end up being pushed on the earlier side. 2:35 p.m. Wednesday: No 'Thursday Night Football' in primetime? For the second straight year, it would appear that the Titans aren't going to play a Thursday Night game on Amazon Prime Video. Per a leak to OzzyNFL, the Titans are not included in the TNF schedule for 2025. That means the Titans' only options for primetime are Sunday night and Monday night. 2:15 p.m. Wednesday: A December trip out west? The OzzyNFL account on social media is reporting the Titans will visit the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15, a matchup that would fall in the week of Sunday, Dec. 14. If this is the case, the Titans would be playing in a relatively warmer-weather climate in one of the team's final road trips. 12:30 p.m. Wednesday: Rams schedule leak includes Titans info The OzzyNFL account on social media is reporting a leak of the Los Angeles Rams' schedule, which includes the Rams coming to Nashville to face the Titans in Week 2. If that is the case, Cam Ward's home opener in front of the Tennessee Titans faithful will be on Sept. 14 against Matthew Stafford and a group of contenders from the NFC. 11:30 a.m. Wednesday: What we know about NFL schedule so far A little more than 20% of the league's schedule for 2025 has already been announced or is rumored via leaks and reports. The only Titans game that's been reported thus far is the Week 1 matchup in Denver, but other teams ― especially big-market contenders ― have had 5-10 games leaked or announced. 10 a.m. Wednesday: NFL schedule leak analysis Some of the teams with the most announcements and leaks/rumors that have come out prior to the schedule release are the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars. Leaks have the Jaguars playing six games in the first seven weeks against opponents that aren't the Titans, so it might take a little while for that rivalry to be renewed. As for the Chiefs, they're bogarting all the games on holidays and special occasions, so the Titans can draw the Chiefs just about any time, seemingly as long as the game isn't nationally televised in primetime. 8 a.m. Wednesday: Titans schedule misses holidays, foreign trips Just about every Christmas, Thanksgiving and international game has been fully announced at this point, and the Titans aren't on any list. So if you were budgeting for an overseas trip or trying to get out of spending time with your family on two major holidays, both look like they're coming up empty. Titans opening day opponent leaks? Matchup with Bo Nix, Denver Broncos Per a report from FOX Sports insider Jordan Schultz, the Titans will open the year in Denver against Bo Nix and the Broncos, a playoff team a year ago. The game will mark Cam Ward's NFL debut, and it's a welcome move for the Titans to make the trip to Denver this early in the season to avoid any potential bad weather situations in the Mile High City in November or December. NFL schedule leaks: Keep this tab saved If you're looking for an invaluable resource during schedule leak season, check out this page compiled at All of the confirmed games on the schedule are put in a neat, team-by-team spreadsheet, as well as some of the leaks that get reported through the days. The color coding helps, so don't worry about getting fooled by confirmed games standing alongside leaks. NFL international slate announced The NFL announced which games will be played overseas early Tuesday morning, and the Titans aren't on the docket this year. Keep an eye out for next year, maybe. Pay attention to these times The NFL's broadcast partners (NBC, CBS, FOX, Amazon, ESPN and Netflix) will be announcing the days and times of select games ahead of time. Check out the following guide for when early schedule announcements will be made. Week 1 opener announced: Cowboys vs Eagles The first game of the NFL season will feature the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles hosting their rival Dallas Cowboys. The Titans don't play either team this year, and even if they did, it's hard to imagine the NFL wanting to put the Titans in primetime to start the season. So don't consider this one much of a surprise. What time is NFL schedule release? The NFL will formally announce its full schedule for the 2025 season at 7 p.m. (CT) on Wednesday. What channel is NFL schedule release on? The NFL schedule release will be televised on the NFL Network. But for fans who prefer to see only their team's schedule revealed, announcements will be made on social media.

The NFL isn't college football's friend - it's the greatest threat to the CFP schedule
The NFL isn't college football's friend - it's the greatest threat to the CFP schedule Show Caption Hide Caption Ohio State head coach Ryan Day describes emotions of beating Notre Dame Ohio State's Ryan Day discusses the journey his team went on to become college football national champions. Sports Pulse We're not seeing big picture here. We're slogging through the minutia of the college football postseason instead of dealing with the big, bad shield in the room. The NFL shield. So while college football's power brokers are busy arguing straight seeding, first-round byes, campus sites and who will choose the expected 16-team College Football Playoff field, they're ignoring the greatest threat to the ever-evolving system that decided a national champion. The NFL's television schedule structure is in direct competition with the College Football Playoff. That means decreased ratings, and decreased growth for a sport trying to develop a new postseason format. This season alone, critical division matchups between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders and Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears, fall on the same Saturday as three first-round games. No matter how important or intriguing those first-round College Football Playoff matchups prove to be, they'll be dwarfed by critical December NFL games — just like last year's three first-round games in the same window. And lost television ratings and growth means lost millions from future media rights deals — the very reason university presidents blew up the original four-team CFP in the first place. 'My hope is there are ways around it,' said Florida State athletic director Mike Alford. Yeah, well, hope is not a plan. Leverage is. MONEY GRAB: Why Florida State wants its toughest football schedule possible I've said it over and over, and will say it again: college football has leverage on the NFL. College football is the free minor league system for the NFL. If the NFL wants to keep benefiting from that free system – I don't think this can be underscored enough, free – it's time to treat college football as a partner. Not like old gum on the bottom of the NFL sneaker. There was a time not long ago that college football decided to play games on Thursday night, a unique idea that ESPN turned into a cult following. Sure enough, the NFL saw the success and large television ratings, and commandeered the night. NFL Thursday night games now dwarf the college football games, so much so, that college football has all but given up on big power conference games and now feeds Thursday night with a steady diet of meaningless Group of Five games. Two years ago, the NFL sold Thursday Night games as a standalone media rights package to Amazon, and now makes a billion dollars annually from it. Yep, billion. That's lost revenue for college football, a sport searching for cash streams while dealing with looming revenue sharing with players. By proxy, it means lost revenue for college sports, which is dealing with a potential loss of Olympic sports teams (both men and women) because cash to support those teams is now used to pay players in revenue producing sports (football, basketball). Yet here we are, deep into the process of what the new playoff format will look like, and we can't see the forest for The Shield. The problem isn't the format, the problem is the NFL. You know, the same NFL receiving free player development – again, free! – from college football year after year after year. Anyone else find it odd that college football is swimming in paradigm change over the last four seasons, in danger of the whole thing falling apart, and the NFL has been eerily quiet about the entire mess? Hasn't offered support, hasn't reached out to say, hey, since you've given us free player development from the time our game was invented (and will continue to do so), maybe we can hop off the Saturday of your first-round games? Maybe we can avoid future scheduling conflicts and work with college football to grow the postseason. Instead of ignoring it. But the NFL has no reason to acquiesce. If college football continues to provide game and practice tape whenever the NFL asks, if it continues to allow access to practice and games and everyone involved in player development during the NFL draft process, why would the NFL change anything? There are two ways to make the NFL move off its mark: affect its money, or player procurement. Here, everyone, is where college football has leverage. The NFL wants every piece of information possible on players it drafts, performing its due diligence to avoid multi-million dollar mistakes on investments. The NCAA or CFP Board of Directors (or whoever is running the damn sport at this point), should send a letter to all 32 NFL teams. No more practice and game access to all FBS and FCS teams, no more game and practice tape, no more access to coaches and assistant coaches or anyone else connected to players — until the NFL eliminates scheduling conflicts with the CFP. It's not a big ask, and frankly, there shouldn't have to be a threat. There should be someone within college football – I nominate Nick Saban, even though he doesn't want the job – who can call NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and speak hard truths. The NFL isn't your friend, it's the greatest threat to college football's postseason. Do something about it. Matt Hayes is the senior national college football writer for USA TODAY Sports Network.

How many primetime games do Jacksonville Jaguars have on 2025 NFL schedule?
How many primetime games do Jacksonville Jaguars have on 2025 NFL schedule? How many primetime games do the Jacksonville Jaguars have on their 2025 NFL schedule? The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently set to have one primetime game this season and it will be an excellent test for them. When and who do the Jacksonville Jaguars face in their primetime matchup? In Week 5, the Kansas City Chiefs will travel to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars on Monday Night Football. Kickoff will be at 8:15 PM and take place on October 6th. Against one of the NFL's best, this game will provide the Jaguars with an early-season litmus test to see how much progress they've made from last season. In addition to this primetime matchup, the Jaguars do have another standalone game on the schedule when they take on the LA Rams in London, England in Week 7. Kickoff for that game will be at 9:30 AM. Can the Jacksonville Jaguars gain an additional primetime matchup this season? There is also the possibility that another primetime game could be added to the Jaguars' schedule if the NFL decides to flex Jacksonville into the spotlight at any point this season. Flexing for Sunday Night Football games can begin in Week 5, Monday Night Football games in Week 12, and Thursday Night games in Week 13. This, however, is dependent upon the Jaguars winning games. On the flip side, as we saw last season, teams can be flexed out of primetime matchups as well. The Jaguars were supposed to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football in Week 9, but that ended up being an afternoon game. However, that is a moot point this season for the Jaguars with their Monday Night game taking place early in the year. This will be the third season in a row that the Jaguars will have played a Monday Night game. They have not won on Monday Night since 2011.

How many primetime games do Indianapolis Colts have on 2025 NFL schedule?
How many primetime games do Indianapolis Colts have on 2025 NFL schedule? How many primetime games do the Indianapolis Colts have on the 2025 NFL schedule? The Indianapolis Colts will have one primetime game this season, just as they did in 2024. When and who do the Indianapolis Colts face in their primetime matchup? That game this year will come in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football and will be played at Lucas Oil Stadium. Kickoff will be at 8:15 PM on December 22nd. Last season's primetime matchup with the Vikings in Week 9 came on the road. Beyond the Monday night matchup with the Niners, the Colts do have one more standalone game when they travel abroad to Berlin, Germany, for their Week 10 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. That game will be played on NFL Network at 9:30 AM. Can the Indianapolis Colts gain an additional primetime matchup this season? There is also the possibility that another primetime game could be added to the Colts' schedule if the NFL decides to flex Indianapolis into the spotlight at any point this season. Flexing for Sunday Night Football games can begin in Week 5, Monday Night Football games in Week 12, and Thursday Night games in Week 13. This, however, is dependent upon the Colts winning games. On the flip side, as we saw last season, teams can be flexed out of primetime games as well. The Colts were scheduled to face the New York Jets on Sunday Night Football last season before their time slot was moved to an afternoon game. Overall, the Colts have a 23-21 record during Monday Night Football.
