With the 2025 NFL schedule set to be announced on May 14, the Browns will officially know the order in which they will face their opponents this season.
Ahead of the official schedule, the NFL also released all 32 teams’ strength of schedule. The Browns rank 13th among all NFL teams with a .519 opponent win percentage for the 2025 season.
The Browns' opponents had a combined record of 150-139 last season, which had a .519 winning percentage. Cleveland ranks just above the Bengals, who are 14th and have an opponent win percentage of .509, while the Ravens and Steelers both rank in the top 10 for schedule strength, ninth and 10th, respectively.
Last season, Cleveland finished with a 3-14 record, winning two home games against the Ravens and the Steelers, and one road game against the Jaguars. In 2025, the Browns will face seven teams that finished with a winning record in 2024, including the Bengals, Bills, Lions, Packers, Ravens, Steelers and Vikings.
In 2025, the Browns will also face a home slate that features six opponents who finished with winning records in 2024. Five of the nine home games are against teams who made the playoffs in 2024, as Cleveland will host the Bills, Ravens, Steelers, Vikings and Packers. The Browns will face the Vikings in London in Week 5 at Tottenham Stadium, but the game will count as one of their nine home games in 2025.
Cleveland had a busy offseason, beginning with signing DE Myles Garrett to a contract extension. The Browns also made moves both in free agency and the draft to address different positions – especially at quarterback. They traded for Kenny Pickett, signed Joe Flacco and drafted both Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The Browns also made key additions to the offensive and defensive line, bolstering both sides of the ball up front with DE Julian Okwara, DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, DT Maliek Collins, OT Cornelius Lucas and G Teven Jenkins.
In the draft, they added another interior pass rusher in DT Mason Graham and two running backs in Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson to round out the running back room. They selected LB Carson Schwesinger to add to the linebacker room, and TE Harold Fannin Jr. to build out their tight end group.
The official schedule for the 2025 season is set to be released on May 14 at 8 p.m. ET, with single-game tickets going on sale with the official release. With the additions the Browns made both in free agency and the draft to address different position groups on both sides of the ball, Cleveland is poised to bounce back from its 3-14 record last season with their 2025 schedule.
