The emblem of the New Orleans Saints representing their spirit in the NFL.
The New Orleans Saints have unveiled their schedule for the upcoming NFL season. Kicking off with a home game against the Arizona Cardinals, the Saints will face several challenges this season, featuring a mix of tough away games. Notably, this will be the first season without prime-time games for the franchise since 2000, and the team is expected to field a young quarterback. The schedule promises a test of resilience as the Saints navigate a competitive landscape.
New Orleans, LA – The New Orleans Saints have officially released their schedule for the 2025 NFL season, set to begin on September 7, 2025. The Saints will kick off their season with a home game against the Arizona Cardinals at 12:00 PM CT. In a difficult stretch, the team is anticipated to face significant challenges, including a series of tough away games.
The Saints will follow their opening game by hosting the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2 on September 14, also at 12:00 PM CT, before facing the Seattle Seahawks at home on September 21 at 3:05 PM CT. They will hit the road for their fourth game to match up against the Buffalo Bills on September 28 at 12:00 PM CT.
Continuing through October, the Saints will host the New York Giants on October 5 at 12:00 PM CT, followed by another home game against the New England Patriots on October 12 at 3:25 PM CT. After an away game against the Chicago Bears on October 19 at 12:00 PM CT, the Saints will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their first divisional game on October 26 at 3:05 PM CT.
November presents a tough slate as well, with two away games against the Los Angeles Rams on November 2 at 3:05 PM CT and the Carolina Panthers on November 9 at 12:00 PM CT. Following their bye in Week 11, they will return home to face the Atlanta Falcons on November 23 at 3:25 PM CT. The Saints will then play away at the Miami Dolphins on November 30 at 12:00 PM CT and at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 7 at 12:00 PM CT.
As December moves in, the Saints will host the Carolina Panthers on December 14 at 3:25 PM CT and the New York Jets on December 21 at 12:00 PM CT. They will finish the regular season with two road games against the Tennessee Titans on December 28 at 12:00 PM CT and the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18, though the date for this last match-up is yet to be determined.
The Saints will face a challenging task ahead, especially with the first half of their schedule filled with tough away games. They are set to encounter three playoff teams from the previous season. Despite these adversities, the Saints have the second easiest strength of schedule, sitting at .419, with expert predictions suggesting an over/under win total of about 5.5 games for the season.
This season marks a notable change for the franchise, as it is the first time since 2000 that the Saints do not have any prime-time games scheduled. This comes after a disappointing run in prime-time during the 2024 season, where the team failed to secure a win in any of their appearances. The Saints are expected to field a young quarterback for the first time in over two decades, with either Tyler Shough or Spencer Rattler poised to start in the season opener.
Travel will also prove to be a significant factor for the team, as the Saints will leave the Central Time Zone seven times for their nine road games, racking up a total of 16,784 miles during the season. All games will be broadcasted on WWL Radio (870 AM and 105.3 FM), with Spanish radio broadcast available in selected markets.
The 2025 season promises to test the resilience and adaptability of the New Orleans Saints as they look to establish themselves in a competitive NFL landscape.
