Miami Dolphins schedule 2025: Predictions, picks ahead of NFL schedule release
The Miami Dolphins’ 2025 schedule will be released on Wednesday evening, May 14. Mike McDaniel, Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill will attempt to make the playoffs after missing it with an 8-9 record last season.
McDaniel and the Dolphins qualified for the NFL playoffs in his first two seasons. The Dolphins missed the playoffs last season even though they had one of the easiest schedules in the NFL.

Miami will hope to avoid devastating injuries to key players like Tagovailoa, Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips, which sidetracked last season. The Dolphins must prove they can be good opponents, especially on the road, and especially when conditions are cold.

Home games: Baltimore, Cincinnati (could be in Spain), Los Angeles Chargers, New Orleans, Tampa Bay and Washington
Road games: Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Atlanta, Carolina
Dolphins strength of schedule
The Dolphins will have the 11th-easiest schedule in 2025, according to opponent win percentage compiled by the X account NFL Nerd.
Dolphins prime time games
Teams can play a maximum of six prime time games. The Miami Dolphins were scheduled for five nationally televised games during the 2024 season. A scheduled game between the Dolphins and Browns was flexed out of prime time late in the season. Could Miami be restricted to three or four national games in 2025? It certainly seems possible.
Dolphins predictions, picks: How many games will Miami win?
The early over-under on wins, as set by Betmgm.com, has Miami at 8.5 wins.

What do Dolphins want to see on 2025 schedule?
The Dolphins struggle in cold weather so it would be nice to see at least two of the games at Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Buffalo in September and October, not November or December.
It would also be helpful if juggernauts Buffalo, Baltimore, Washington, Cincinnati and the Chargers were spread out, as opposed to clustered.
