Carolina Panthers Announce 2025 NFL Schedule Featuring 17 Games, Season Opener at Jacksonville

The Carolina Panthers enter the 2025 NFL season looking to improve on a disappointing 5-12 record from 2024, with hopes to break their streak of sub-.500 seasons since 2017. Head coach Dave Canales and quarterback Bryce Young aim to build momentum with several offseason acquisitions including defensive players Tershawn Wharton, Tre’von Moehrig, and Bobby Brown III, as well as wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. The Panthers' 2025 schedule features a mix of challenging and winnable games, with eight home games at Bank of America Stadium and notable matchups against the Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Seattle Seahawks, in addition to their division rivals in the NFC South. Carolina will open the season on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars and host their first home game against the Atlanta Falcons, with a Monday Night Football appearance against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. Despite some promising signings and an arguably easier schedule on paper, the Panthers still face an uphill battle to become playoff contenders, especially given the strength of division rivals like the Falcons and Buccaneers. Fans looking to attend home games can find tickets through verified secondary markets like Vivid Seats, which offers secure transactions and delivery guarantees.
