The Browns and their AFC North brethren have the misfortune of being matched up against the NFC North in 2025. Cleveland will host the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings and hit the road to face off with the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions.

Forget the official strength of schedule rankings — Cleveland Browns analysts are sounding the alarm about a 2025 slate that appears brutally difficult from start to finish according to the “eyeball test.

Chicago Bears schedule is being released today as the NFL reveals the entire 2025 slate of games. Follow live updates.

The league announced the full 2025 preseason slate for all 32 teams on Wednesday. As is the custom, the Hall of Fame Game will serve as the curtain-raiser. The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers face off on July 31 at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio.

Storyline: The idea of the Browns’ being in Cincinnati’s head is out the window. The Bengals have won three in a row and four of the last five and, while Garrett will probably sack Joe Burrow twice each game, the tables have turned on this rivalry over the last two seasons.
