New York Jets’ Schedule 2024-2025: Dates, Times, TV Channels, Strength of Schedule, and More

After their second straight 7-10 finish and a strong free-agent class to join a healthy Aaron Rodgers, the New York Jets could be on their last legs for the Joe Douglas-Robert Saleh duo.

If the Jets can end their playoff drought and be hard outs during their run, the head coach and general manager’s jobs will be safe. Anything less could result in a new regime coming into Florham Park. Before we talk more about New York’s upcoming season, though, let’s check who is set to face off with Gang Green in 2024.

New York Jets’ 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).

Jets’ Strength of Schedule

According to PFN’s strength of schedule ranking, the Jets have the 11th-easiest schedule this season.

Despite having to face the Bills and Dolphins twice as always, the Jets should be heavy favorites in their two matchups against the Patriots.

In 2024, New York will be facing the AFC South and NFC West divisions. While the 49ers are a Super Bowl contender, and matchups against the Texans and Rams could prove to be difficult as well, the rest of the Jets’ opponents in these two divisions are all arguably worse than them.

Jets Record Prediction: 12-5

It all comes down to health.

If New York’s new-look offensive line is at 100% for the majority of the season, if Rodgers plays a full 17-game season, and if the receiving corps doesn’t take a hit, the Jets’ offense should be good enough to win double-digit games in 2024.

New York’s current win total is at 9.5. That may be fair for a team that hasn’t finished over .500 since 2015, but the talent on the Jets’ current roster is too good to finish just a game over that mark.

Eleven to 12 wins is a safe barometer for the team to hit that won’t just give them the division, but it would most likely be enough to be a top seed in the AFC as well.

Prime-Time Games

• Week 1: Jets at 49ers (MNF)
• Week 3: Patriots at Jets (TNF)
• Week 6: Bills at Jets (MNF)
• Week 7: Jets at Steelers (SNF)
• Week 9: Texans at Jets (TNF)
• Week 11 Colts at Jets (SNF)

This season, the Jets have six prime-time games — the maximum allowed for a team according to NFL rules. With Rodgers back and plenty of excitement surrounding this Jets team, it’s no surprise that they’ll be playing in a ton of nationally televised games.

the Jets are the FIRST team in NFL history to receive SIX PRIMETIME GAMES in the first 11 weeks of the season:

Week 1 at 49ers (MNF)
Week 3 vs Patriots (TNF)
Week 6 vs Bills (MNF)
Week 7 at Steelers (SNF)
Week 9 vs Texans (TNF)
Week 11 vs Colts (SNF)

4 of the 6 are at home

When Is New York’s Bye Week?

The Jets’ bye is in Week 12. They will have two weeks to prepare for their Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Biggest Matchups of the Year

The easiest answer to this question is either the Bills or Dolphins. They are, after all, New York’s chief rivals for the AFC East crown.

At full strength (meaning Rodgers starting), few teams will be able to compete with the Jets’ overall roster.

However, the 49ers and Steelers are two teams with plenty of talent of their own, and New York will face both on the road this season. San Francisco advanced to the Super Bowl after winning 12 games last season, while Pittsburgh was a Wild Card team who enter this season with high expectations after adding a new starting quarterback.

If the Jets can beat both of those teams on the road, it would send a massive message to the rest of the NFL that Gang Green is a legitimate contender.
