The last thing the Buffalo Bills and their fans are thinking about is the 2025 season, but it will be here before we know it. After a big 40-14 win over the New York Jets, all that can be focused on is getting to the playoffs. However, the Bills will be playing a pointless Week 18 game against the New England Patriots live from Foxborough, MA.
While the Bills are getting ready to go to the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season, the Patriots are currently lined up to own the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. If the Bills end up leaving New England with a win next weekend, the Patriots will officially be on the clock. They could also do what the Chicago Bears did in 2023 and trade away the top pick for a haul, seeing as how they already have a promising young quarterback in Drake Maye.
Who do the Buffalo Bills play in 2025?
The Bills are set to take on their every year opponents within the AFC East; the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots twice a year. They will then take on teams from the AFC North, NFC South, as well as a team from AFC West, NFC West, and AFC South.

The Bills have a tough home schedule for next season. While home field advantage does it exist, the Bills are also tasked with some tough opponents like the Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals and Philadelphia Eagles. For the second consecutive regular season, the Bills will be hosting the Chiefs for another Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes showdown.
Away Opponents |

Miami Dolphins |
New York Jets |
New England Patriots |
Pittsburgh Steelers |
Atlanta Falcons |
Carolina Panthers |
Cleveland Browns |
Houston Texans |
Buffalo has a little bit more of an easy schedule on the road. The furthest they have to travel will be Houston, for the second consecutive season. Other than that, they get to stay close to the east coast and they will only go as far as Cleveland and Pittsburgh out west.
Again, it is definitely a little early to start focusing on the 2025 opponents, but it is still valuable information to have so that fans know who they can expect to see the Bills take on next season.
