Scheduling formula

Under the NFL's current scheduling formula, each team plays the other three teams in its own division twice. In addition a team plays against all four teams in one other division from each conference. The final two games on a team's schedule are against the two team's in the team's own conference in the divisions the team was not set to play which finished the previous season in the same rank in their division (e.g. the team which finished first in its division the previous season would play each other team in its conference that also finished first in its respective division). The preset division pairings for 2018 will be as follows.

The entire schedule will be released in April 2018. Highlights of the 2018 season include:

• NFL Kickoff Game: The 2018 season will begin with the Kickoff Game on September 6, at 8:30 p.m. EDT. The game will feature the Super Bowl LII champion Philadelphia Eagles as the home team. The game will be televised on NBC.
