The Cleveland Browns have officially released their 2025-26 regular season schedule, and it promises to be a thrilling ride filled with divisional battles, marquee matchups, and critical road tests.
The campaign kicks off on Sunday, September 7, with a highly anticipated home opener against AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals. The Browns then hit the road to face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2, setting the tone for a competitive divisional race. Week 3 brings another home showdown against the Green Bay Packers, followed by a road trip to Detroit in Week 4.
In Week 5, the Browns face a unique challenge against the Minnesota Vikings at a neutral location, with an early 9:30 AM ET kickoff. The schedule then moves into a tough stretch, including back-to-back away games against Pittsburgh and New England, as well as a home contest against Miami in Week 7.
After a Week 9 bye, Cleveland returns to action against the New York Jets before hosting the Baltimore Ravens in a crucial late-season AFC North clash. The following weeks see the Browns traveling to face the Las Vegas Raiders and hosting the San Francisco 49ers.
December will be decisive, as the Browns take on Tennessee, Chicago, and Buffalo, before closing the year with a Week 17 rivalry showdown against Pittsburgh at home. The regular season wraps up with a flex game against the Cincinnati Bengals, potentially carrying major playoff implications.
With fierce divisional rivals, challenging non-conference games, and several high-stakes matchups, the 2025-26 schedule demands consistency and resilience. If the Browns can capitalize on their home-field advantage and navigate this demanding slate, a deep playoff run could be well within reach.
