Opponents Determined for the 2019 NFL Season
The opponents and home and away matchups for all 2019 regular-season games have been determined.
The scheduling formula implemented in 2002 with realignment guarantees that all teams play each other on a regular, rotating basis.
See how the NFL schedule is made
The formula means each team’s 16-game schedule include:
- Six home and away games against its three division opponents.
- Four games against teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle.
- Four games against teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle.
- Two games within its conference based on the prior year's standings. These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.
Beginning in 2010, a change was made to how teams are paired in the schedule rotation with the AFC and NFC West divisions.
The official 2019 schedule, with playing dates and times, will be announced in the spring. NFL Kickoff 2019 Weekend will begin on Thursday night, Sept. 5, and the regular season will conclude on Sunday, Dec. 29. The season will conclude with Super Bowl LIV in Miami on Sunday, Feb. 2, 2020.
