Browns Given Huge Zero as Schedule Officially Announced

The NFL Draft is now completely in the rearview, meaning the focus on the Cleveland Browns should turn to the prospects of the players competing on the field, not just tantalizing rookie Shedeur Sanders. 

Nonetheless, the Browns have their schedule for the 2025 season. Looking at the full slate, they will have plenty of tests along the way, especially with a gauntlet in the first quarter of the campaign. 

Barring any changes late in the season, the Browns are currently set for only one standalone game and zero primetime appearances. 

Week 1: vs Cincinnati Bengals

Week 2: at Baltimore Ravens

Week 3: vs Green Bay Packers

Week 4: at Detroit Lions

Week 5: vs. Minnesota Vikings

Week 6: at Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 7: vs. Miami Dolphins

Week 8: at New England Patriots

Week 9: Bye

Week 10: at New York Jets

Week 11: vs. Baltimore Ravens

Week 12: at Las Vegas Raiders

Week 13: vs. San Francisco 49ers

Week 14: vs. Tennessee Titans

Week 15: at Chicago Bears

Week 16: vs Buffalo Bills

Week 17: vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Week 18: at Cincinnati Bengals

That gauntlet begins at home against the Bengals before a second AFC North contest at the Ravens. Cleveland then takes on two NFC North playoff teams from a year ago in the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions. 

The Browns will follow those contests with a trip to Dublin, Ireland, to play the Vikings. Cleveland heads to Pittsburgh the next week before hosting the Dolphins and visiting the Patriots before a deserved bye. 

This sets up a road game in New York against the Jets before a second game against the Ravens. The Browns head out to Las Vegas to play the Raiders before hosting the 49ers and Titans in consecutive weeks. 

Cleveland will turn around for a December trip to the Windy City to play the Bears before another home stretch that starts with reigning MVP Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills and ends with the Steelers. 

Their season starts against the same team which it began, this time trekking to Cincinnati to face the Bengals.
