Miami Dolphins Schedule Rumors

Here were the rumors we were tracking leading up to the official release of the schedule.

Week 1

Jaguars vs. Dolphins
Sunday, Sept. 8

There were rumblings on social media that the Dolphins will open the season at home against the Jaguars, but no confirmation yet from credible outlets.

Week 2

Bills vs. Dolphins
Prime Video | Thursday, Sept. 12 (8:15 p.m. ET)

A rematch of last year’s de facto AFC East championship game comes early in the season. Dolphins fans aren’t thrilled that the Bills will get to duck the heat with the late kickoff.

Week 3

Dolphins vs. Seahawks
Sunday, Sept. 22

The Dolphins will travel across the country, according to internet reports, to take on Seattle in Week 3. This is the longest domestic travel for any NFL team. Hard Rock Stadium and Lumen Field have the most miles between them than any other stadiums in the NFL.

Week 4

Titans vs. Dolphins
Monday, Sept. 30 (8:15 p.m. ET)

Kyle Crabbs of the Locked On podcast network reports the Dolphins are hosting the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football in Week 4.

If all of these reports are accurate, that would mean three of the Dolphins’ eight home games are in the first four weeks of the season, and that they will be making two cross-continental flights this fall.

Week 5

Dolphins vs. Patriots
Sunday, Oct. 6

After three out of four at home to open the season, the bill comes due. The Dolphins play at home just five of the season’s final 14 weeks, a road odysey that begins in Foxboro.

Week 6

BYE

Week 7

Dolphins vs. Colts
Sunday, Oct. 20

There’s no blank space on the Dolphins’ schedule this year, even with Hard Rock Stadium hosting Taylor Swift Oct. 18-20.

Week 8

Cardinals vs. Dolphins
Sunday, Oct. 27

Kick off Halloween week with what could be the easiest home game on the Dolphins’ schedule.

Week 9

Dolphins vs. Bills
Sunday, Nov. 3 (1 p.m. ET)

Just as the Bills avoid the worst of the South Florida heat, the Dolphins are avoiding the worst of Buffalo winters, assuming this report from SB Nation is correct.

Week 10

Dolphins vs. Rams
Monday, Nov. 11 (8:15 p.m. ET)

The purported Rams’ schedule has leaked, and it included yet another Monday Night Football appearance for the Dolphins.

Week 11

Raiders vs. Dolphins
Sunday, Nov. 17

The Dolphins and Raiders meet for the sixth time in eight years.

Week 12

Patriots vs. Dolphins
Sunday, Nov. 24

At least the NFL was kind enough to give the Dolphins a home game against a bad team the Sunday before a Thanksgiving trip to Wisconsin.

Week 13

Dolphins vs. Packers
Thursday, Nov. 28 (8:15 p.m. ET)

Per the Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, the Dolphins will take the primetime spotlight on Thanksgiving night as they head to Lambeau Field and face Jordan Love and the Packers.

Week 14

Jets vs. Dolphins
Sunday, Dec. 8

The New York Post has the entire Jets schedule, including the two games against the Dolphins.

The first one will be in Miami.

Week 15

Dolphins vs. Texans
Sunday, Dec. 15

Internet reports have the Dolphins visiting C.J. Stroud and the ascendant Houston Texans in Week 15.

That tracks, since Hard Rock Stadium is hosting the Rolling Loud music festival Dec. 13-15.

Week 16

49ers vs. Dolphins
Sunday, Dec. 22

Kyle Shanahan got the best of Mike McDaniel the first time these old friends met in 2022. McDaniel might need to even the series to keep his playoff hopes alive.

Week 17

Dolphins vs. Browns
Sunday, Dec. 29 (8:15 p.m.)

Break out your long johns. It’s probably gonna be a frigid Christmas week on Lake Erie — especially at night.

Week 18

Dolphins vs. Jets
Saturday, Jan. 4 or Sunday, Jan. 5

With the Orange Bowl hosting the College Football Playoff semifinal on Jan. 9, the Dolphins as expected are on the road for their finale. It was the only real option, because if not, the Hard Rock Stadium field would have potentially hosted three high-stakes games in seven days.
