NFL Releases 2025 Schedule Highlighting Browns-Steelers Rivalry, International Games

The 2025 NFL schedule release is a highly anticipated event revealing game dates and national broadcasts, including the Cleveland Browns' matchups and international games such as their London 'home game.' The Browns face a challenging schedule, particularly on defense, as they will encounter multiple strong quarterbacks, though their road games are slightly easier than home contests. The Browns' offseason is marked by a quarterback competition involving veterans Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders, amid uncertainty surrounding Deshaun Watson's health and future. Cleveland's rivalries within the AFC North, especially against the Pittsburgh Steelers, remain intense, with a notable historical rivalry with the San Francisco 49ers set to be rekindled in 2025 when they host the 49ers. Overall, the NFL's 2025 schedule features a variety of game days, including Thursdays, Mondays, multiple holiday games, and international contests, supported by diverse broadcast partners like CBS, Fox, ESPN, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Peacock, and ESPN+, enhancing fan engagement and viewing options.
