Miami Dolphins announce 2025 schedule presented by BizCare Benefits

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins announced today their 2025 schedule presented by BizCare Benefits.

The Dolphins' 2025 schedule is highlighted by six nationally-televised games, including a trip to Madrid in Week 11, where Miami will play host to the Washington Commanders at the iconic Bernabéu Stadium in the NFL's first-ever regular season game in Spain. Miami's regular season slate also includes five prime time matchups, marking the second-straight season the Dolphins have been tapped for five games in the evening slot in the original schedule and just the fourth time in team history (1997, 2004, 2024). Additionally, the Dolphins will host three of the five prime time games at Hard Rock Stadium, the most in 15 years.

In addition to their game in Madrid – which will be the team's eighth overall international appearance – the Dolphins will play a total of eight games at Hard Rock Stadium and eight on the road, all of which will take place in the Eastern time zone. Miami's 16 games in the Eastern time zone in 2025 are the most since playing a full 16-game schedule in the Eastern time zone in 1990. The Dolphins played 15 such games in 2023, 2019, 2013 and 1998.

The Dolphins will kick off the season on the road for the 38th time in team history as they travel to Indianapolis for Week 1 (Sept. 7). The home opener will take place in Week 2 (Sept. 14) vs. New England, which begins a three-game slate against division opponents. Miami will travel to Buffalo for a Week 3 matchup on Thursday Night Football (Sept. 18) before returning to Hard Rock Stadium in Week 4 to host the New York Jets on Monday Night Football (Sept. 29). The 2025 schedule also features home prime time games against the Ravens in Week 9 (Oct. 30) on Thursday Night Football and the Bengals in Week 16 (Dec. 21) on NBC's Sunday Night Football, as well as a road game at Pittsburgh in Week 15 (Dec. 15) on Monday Night Football. This is the second consecutive season Miami will play two Monday games and two Thursday games, after the Dolphins appeared in two games on Monday Night Football, one on Thursday Night Football and one on Thanksgiving night in 2024.

The Dolphins also announced their opponents for the 2025 preseason schedule. Miami will travel to Chicago for Preseason Week 1 and to Detroit for Preseason Week 2. The Dolphins will close the preseason the following week as they host the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium.

All games can be heard on BIG 105.9 FM (WBGG) and Fox Sports 940 AM (WINZ), the official flagship radio partner of the franchise. Preseason games can be seen locally in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market on CBS Miami, the official home of the Miami Dolphins in South Florida, and will be re-aired on the FanDuel Sports Network.
