Get Ready, Bills Mafia! The 2025 Season is Here!
The Buffalo Bills' 2025 schedule is officially out, and it's a doozy! Fans in Orchard Park and beyond are already buzzing about the upcoming season, and rightfully so. Josh Allen and the Bills are looking to make a serious run at the Super Bowl, and their path to glory is laid out before them, packed with exciting matchups and primetime showdowns.
A Season of High Stakes
The Bills’ quest for the Lombardi Trophy kicks off with a road game against the Houston Texans in Week 1 – a good chance to get their feet wet. Then, it’s a home opener against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2, a critical AFC East rivalry clash that will set the tone for the divisional race. Speaking of rivalries, the Bills will face the Dolphins, Patriots, and Jets twice each—making the AFC East battles central to their playoff hopes.
- Primetime Showdowns: Get ready for some electrifying Monday, Sunday, and Thursday night football! The Bills host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6 (Monday Night Football), a potential AFC Championship preview. Week 9 sends them to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, and in Week 13, a Thursday Night Football clash against the New York Jets in Buffalo promises fireworks.
- Bye Week Strategy: The Bills' bye week falls in Week 7, offering a strategic midseason rest to help them navigate the grueling schedule ahead.
- No Thanksgiving Game: Unfortunately for those hoping for a Thanksgiving Day game, the Bills will be enjoying their holiday off the field this year.
