Updates

The opponents for all 2022 regular-season games have been determined and a complete list of each team’s home and away matchups was issued today by the NFL.

The scheduling formula implemented in 2002 with realignment guarantees that all teams play each other on a regular, rotating basis.

See how the NFL Schedule is made

Under the formula, each team will play 17 regular-season games (and three preseason games) as follows: 

• Home and away against its three division opponents (six games).
• The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating, three-year cycle (four games).
• The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating, four-year cycle (four games).
• Two intraconference opponents based on the prior year’s standings (two games). These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.

• One interconference opponent based on the prior year’s standings on a rotating four-year cycle (one game). These games match a first-place team from one division against a first-place team in an opposite-conference division that the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place and fourth-place teams in each division are matched in the same way each year.

Beginning in 2010, a change was made as to how teams are paired in the schedule rotation with the AFC and NFC West divisions.

The official 2022 schedule, with playing dates and times, will be announced in the spring.

The following are the 2022 scheduling rotation and team-by-team opponents.
