The 2025 NFL schedule has been officially released for all 32 teams. After dealing with leaks and hoping they were right and making plans, we now have everything set in stone for the big day for Bucs fans. With the schedule being in place for about a week, we are now doing some more reflecting.

One of the things we are reflecting on is the toughest stretch of the Bucs' schedule in 2026. Before we divulge what we see as the toughest stretch, here is a reminder of the schedule for the team.

  • Week 1: at Cincinnati Bengals, 1:00 p.m. EST on FOX
  • Week 2: vs. Cleveland Browns, 1:00 p.m. EST on CBS
  • Week 3: vs. Minnesota Vikings, 4:05 p.m. EST on FOX
  • Week 4: vs. Green Bay Packers, 1:00 p.m. EST on FOX
  • Week 5: at Dallas Cowboys, 8:20 p.m. EST on Prime Video
  • Week 6: vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, 1:00 p.m. EST on CBS
  • Week 7: at Carolina Panthers, 1:00 p.m. EST on FOX
  • Week 8: vs. Atlanta Falcons, 1:00 p.m. EST on FOX
  • Week 9: at Chicago Bears, 8:20 p.m. EST on NBC
  • Week 10: BYE Week
  • Week 11: at Detroit Lions, 1:00 p.m. EST on CBS
  • Week 12: vs. Carolina Panthers, 8:20 p.m. EST on ESPN
  • Week 13: vs. Los Angeles Chargers, 1:00 p.m. EST on CBS
  • Week 14: at Baltimore Ravens, 1:00 p.m. EST on FOX
  • Week 15: vs. New Orleans Saints, 1:00 p.m. EST on FOX
  • Week 16: at Atlanta Falcons, TBD, TBD
  • Week 17: vs. Los Angeles Rams, TBD, TBD
  • Week 18: at New Orleans Saints, TBD, TBD

The four-week stretch coming out of the Bye Week is going to be monstrous for the Bucs. Games against the Panthers and Chargers at home are tough, but being home helps. However, going on the road to face the Lions and Ravens is going to be tough to overcome for Tampa Bay.

If they come out of that stretch with two wins, that is a massive win for the team as a whole. However, they could just as easily come out of it 0-4 and see their season collapse around them.
