The 2025 NFL schedule will officially be released tonight around 8 p.m. ET for all 32 teams, but as is the case every year, games will be leaked and narrowed down to certain dates and times throughout the day.
While many of these leaks do come to fruition, nothing is certain until the official announcement later tonight. As a result, we want to ensure all schedule information is easily accessible to you. The Bucs already are confirmed to have no international games, but the rest remains up in the air.
Here is where things stand ahead of the official announcement.
