Miami Dolphins’ Schedule 2024-2025: Dates, Times, TV Channels, Strength of Schedule, and More

The Miami Dolphins‘ 2023 season initially looked like it’d be one for the history books. Then, things went awry and the Dolphins shifted their focus to 2024. With that in the past, now they’re looking to take the next step.

Let’s take a look at the Dolphins’ schedule for the 2024 NFL season, including their strength of schedule, a record prediction, prime-time games, and some of their biggest matchups.

Miami Dolphins’ Schedule and Opponents

The complete 2024 NFL schedule was released on May 15 at 8 p.m. ET, and we have it in the table below (which is best viewed in landscape mode).

Dolphins’ Strength of Schedule

The Dolphins’ schedule won’t be an easy one, as they will face a second-place schedule due to finishing second in the AFC East in 2023. However, it could be much worse.

According to PFN’s in-house strength of schedule metric, the Dolphins have the 17th-easiest schedule in the NFL – or the 15th-hardest.

Overall, their schedule isn’t one of the most difficult in the NFL, but they still face multiple top teams and several squads that could surprise. It doesn’t help that they have to face the Bills and Jets twice, likely with Aaron Rodgers suiting up in New York for this go-around.

Dolphins Record Prediction: 10-7

With a big season coming up, DraftKings Sportsbook set the Dolphins win total at 9.5, with +145 odds for the over and -120 for the under. This is likely due to the fact that the Dolphins are unpredictable, especially considering the injuries they’ve suffered year after year.

The Dolphins will face six teams that made the postseason in 2023, but that doesn’t include the teams that didn’t and will still pose a threat. For example, the Jaguars and Jets both missed the playoffs but are returning with their quarterbacks healthy.

The Dolphins could win anywhere from seven to 12 games, and they’ll likely fall somewhere in the middle. If they stay healthy, they will have one of the best offenses in the NFL. They are bringing back all of their weapons, plus they added rookie RB Jaylen Wright and TE Jonnu Smith.

Prime-Time Games

• Week 2: Bills at Dolphins (TNF)
• Week 4: Titans at Dolphins (MNF)
• Week 10: Dolphins at Rams (MNF)
• Week 13: Dolphins at Packers (TNF)
• Week 17: Dolphins at Browns (SNF)

This season, the Dolphins have five prime-time games — up from three in 2023. Given their star power and high-octane offense — which led the NFL in yards per game (401.3) last season — it makes sense that the networks want plenty of Dolphins games on national TV.

When Is Miami’s Bye Week?

The Dolphins’ bye is in Week 6. They will have two weeks to prepare for their Week 7 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Biggest Matchups of the Year

In terms of big games, the Dolphins have quite a few. However, their focus needs to be on winning their divisional games. In 2023, they lost the AFC East by one game after being swept by the Bills. If they can secure at least one win – if not two – over the Bills, it could bode very well for winning the division. Miami will face Buffalo in Weeks 2 and 9.

Beyond their own division, they’ll also host the 49ers, who were just in Super Bowl 58. Miami will face San Francisco in Week 16. If they can take down one of the best teams in the NFL, that could send a message to the rest of the NFL that they are a legitimate threat to win the Super Bowl.
