Buffalo Bills’ Schedule 2024-2025: Dates, Times, TV Channels, Strength of Schedule, and More

The Buffalo Bills looked to be one of the hottest teams in the NFL at the end of the season. However, their season was cut short earlier than many expected.

Fast forward to today, and their offseason has been a challenging one as well as they have parted ways with key players on both sides of the ball.

Let’s take a look at the Bills’ schedule for the 2024 NFL season, where their strength of schedule (SOS) ranks, our record prediction, and preview the biggest Bills’ matchups of the season.

Buffalo Bills’ Schedule and Opponents

The complete 2024 NFL schedule was released on May 15 at 8 p.m. ET, and we have it in the table below (which is best viewed in landscape mode).

Bills’ Strength of Schedule

The Bills are getting no favors this year as far as their schedule goes. According to PFN’s in-house metric, Buffalo faces the second-toughest schedule in the NFL, behind only their division-rival New England Patriots.

With a schedule stacked with quality opponents and a division that features two other playoff-caliber teams, even just getting out of the AFC East could be a challenge in and of itself.

Josh Allen will have his hands full this year and will do so with a roster that, on paper, is worse than the ones he’s fielded in recent memory — all while facing one of the toughest schedules in the league.

Bills Record Prediction: 10-7

The roster is decisively worse than last year, and the schedule is a daunting task, putting 2024 in danger of being a real letdown season for a Bills team that has been on the cusp of Super Bowl contention.

The Bills parted with quite a few key players this offseason, but having Allen under center will help the Bills mask a lot of their shortcomings.

I still see the Bills still finding a way to get to double-digit wins, even if it is a grind, and contending for a playoff spot. With the Jets expected to be vastly improved and the Dolphins on the rise, getting out of their division will be no easy task.

However, with a well-respected head coach and Allen under center, the Bills should not be outright dismissed in 2024.

Prime-Time Games

• Week 2: Bills at Dolphins (TNF)
• Week 3: Jaguars at Bills (MNF)
• Week 4: Bills at Ravens (SNF)
• Week 6: Bills at Jets (MNF)
• Week 13: 49ers at Bills (SNF)

This season, the Bills have five prime-time games, including four in the first six weeks of the season. This is one fewer prime-time game than the Bills had last season.

When Is Buffalo’s Bye Week?

The Bills’ bye is in Week 12. They will have two weeks to prepare for their crucial Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Biggest Matchups of the Year

The Bills’ matchup against the Jets in Week 6 should be fun, as there’s some bad blood between these two teams. Earlier this year, Bills OT Dion Dawkins made headlines when he called out DT Michael Clemons and the Jets.

Any time the Bills face the Chiefs, it’s must-see TV, and they’ll have another meeting in Week 11 of this season. The Bills once again were eliminated by the Chiefs last season, which should give them even more motivation to beat Patrick Mahomes and Co.

The Chiefs will head to Orchard Park, N.Y., to face the Bills and their home-field advantage, and no matter the situation or time of year, NFL fans are always in for a treat when these two teams clash.
