The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will need to be road warriors in 2025 if they want to match the 2-0 start they have produced in each of the last four seasons. The Buccaneers’ efforts to become the first NFC South team ever to win five straight division titles begins with a pair of road trips, to Atlanta in Week One and Houston in Week Two.
The visit to NRG Stadium for a Monday Night Football matchup with the Texans on September 15 is the first of four nationally-televised prime time games the Buccaneers drew on their 2025 schedule, matching their total from last season.
The Buccaneers will also play a Monday night game at Detroit in Week Seven (Oct. 20), a Sunday night game against the Rams in Los Angeles in Week 12 (Nov. 23) and a Thursday night game at home against the Falcons in Week 15 (Dec. 11). Their Week 18 home game against Carolina, which will fall on the weekend of January 3-4, has not been scheduled yet, but nine of the other 16 games are currently scheduled for 1:00 p.m. on a Sunday.
Tampa Bay will have every opportunity to control its own fate in trying to win a fifth straight NFC South crown – and thereby break the record of four they share with the 2017-20 New Orleans Saints – as four of their last five games are against division foes. That includes all three of their home games against NFC South opponents: against New Orleans in Week 14, Atlanta in Week 15 and Carolina in Week 18. A Week 16 trip to Carolina means two of Tampa Bay’s last three games will be against a Panthers team that is 14-37 over the last three seasons but coming off a promising finish to 2024.

The NFL introduced an enhanced schedule in 2021 that covers 17 games per team over 18 weeks, this year concluding on January 4. The Buccaneers get their bye week almost directly in the middle of that schedule, as they are off in Week Nine after a Week Eight trip to New Orleans. The “17th Game” of the enhanced schedule is a fifth interconference matchup, with the Buccaneers drawing a trip to Houston because both teams finished in first place in their respective divisions in 2024. In 2025, all 17th games will be hosted by AFC teams.
Below is the Buccaneers’ 2025 game schedule, including the three-game preseason slate which is still awaiting specific dates and times, followed by more notes (all times Eastern):
