The schedule has been released. There are several games to be excited to watch.
The 2025 NFL schedule has been officially released. Fans now know every Thursday, Sunday, and Monday night game along with everything in between. After knowing who the Indianapolis Colts would play in 2025, it is always fun to see exactly when. The season comes into focus and fans can start to make plans to see the Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium or even where to make accommodations if they want to check them out on the road. Teams at the beginning of the season can look a lot different than at the end, but let’s take a look at the schedule for some of the biggest matchups that are creating the most anticipation and buzz.
Dolphins
What is more exciting than the first game of the season? After a long time away, Colts football returns, and this year sees the Colts opening at home against the Dolphins. This won’t be the same Dolphins team they met last year, but it marks another occasion for the Colts to get off the schneid from their eleven game losing streak to open a season. Anthony Richardson should be champing at the bit and ready to show everyone the work he put in during the offseason to improve his game. Getting a chance to finally start the season on the right foot should not be taken for granted.
@Titans
Normally, this game wouldn’t be one to get fans going, but it is a little different this year as it will be the Colts first road game, first divisional opponent, and first look at the number one overall pick, Cam Ward. The Colts could be seeing a lot of Ward over the years, so sizing him up early will be intriguing. An interesting quirk in the schedule sees the Colts playing the Titans twice in the first eight games, while not seeing another division opponent until week thirteen. Getting the first road win of the season and notching a win in the division will be huge. Expect some serious hype going into this one headlined by Ward as the new man in Nashville.
@Pittsburgh
The Colts have struggled mightily against the Steelers. They have notched back-to-back wins against them, but both of those games came at home. When traveling to Pittsburgh, it is a different story. The Colts last won in Pittsburgh in November of 2008. Ouch. It is still unknown who will be the quarterback, but the Colts could very well be facing Aaron Rodgers. Regardless of who is under center, it won’t be an easy task. All of the names and faces have changed, but sometimes there is just something about a stadium that seems to get the better of teams.
Seeing the schedule makes it all feel real, as it provides the roadmap for what the Colts need to do in order to have a successful season. The Colts have some intriguing games with an opportunity to start out fast. That is something they have failed to do recently. The NFL is full of parody, so the “easy” wins could result in blowout losses while the toughest matchups could be within reach as the dates approach. You never know. All we know now is the who, the when, and the where. That will have to suffice as the offseason marches on.
