Redskins Announce 2019 Schedule

Redskins to be featured in Monday and Thursday night prime-time match ups

LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The National Football League announced its 2019 regular season schedule tonight, and the highlights of the Washington Redskins' 2019 regular season will be the team's appearance in two prime-time games. The Redskins have now appeared in at least two prime-time games since the 2014 season.

The Redskins will open the season on the road for a consecutive year when the team begins NFC East play at the Philadelphia Eagles at 1 p.m. on Sept. 8 on FOX. The Redskins will then return home to FedExField for back-to-back games, first against their divisional rivals the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 15 on FOX. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Washington will then make its prime-time debut hosting the Chicago Bears on ESPN's Monday Night Football to close out a two-game home stand on Sept. 23 at 8:15 p.m.

The Redskins will play four consecutive 1 p.m. games in Weeks 4-7, starting on the road with its third division game in four weeks against the New York Giants on Sept. 29 on FOX. Washington will then host the defending Super Bowl Champions, the New England Patriots on Oct. 6 on CBS. The Redskins will travel to face the Miami Dolphins for an Oct. 13 match-up before returning to FedExField to host the 49ers on Oct 20. Both games will air on FOX.

In Week 8, the Redskins will open a two-game road slate at the Minnesota Vikings for Thursday Night Football on Oct. 24 at 8:20 p.m. The game will air on FOX, NFL Network and stream live on Amazon. The Redskins will close the road swing at the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. on FOX.

After a Week 10 bye – Washington's latest since a Week 10 bye in 2014 – the Redskins will then host their second two-game home stand of the season in Weeks 11-12, first hosting the New York Jets on Nov. 17 on CBS prior to welcoming the Detroit Lions on Nov. 24 on FOX. Both contests are scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m.

The Redskins will play five consecutive 1 p.m. games in Weeks 13-17, beginning with consecutive road games at the Carolina Panthers on Dec. 1 on CBS before traveling to the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 8. Washington will play three straight division games to close out the 2019 campaign on FOX. Washington will host the Philadelphia Eagles on Dec. 15 and the New York Giants on Dec. 22 before closing the regular season on the road at the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 29.

For Redskins season, group or individual game ticket information, visit www.Redskins.com/tickets or call (301) 276-6800. For the best options and safest way to secure tickets, Redskins fans should purchase from official sources including Redskins.com, the Redskins box office or Ticketmaster, the official ticketing partner of the NFL and the Washington Redskins.

A select number of games across the league, including the Redskins' Week 13 contest at Panthers, will be “cross-flexed,” moving between CBS and FOX to bring potentially under-distributed games to wider audiences. Some of those contests were announced today while the remainder of “cross-flexed” games will be decided during the season.

“Flexible scheduling” will be used in Weeks 5-17. Additionally, in Weeks 5-10, flexible scheduling may be used in no more than two weeks. In Weeks 5-16, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game.

For Week 17, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to Dec. 30. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot. Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks and gives “surprise” teams a chance to play their way into prime time.

Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday or Monday nights.

As friendly a schedule as it gets.

Only 2 primetime games.

Even Gruden should struggle to **** this up.
 
Don't know how they got even two prime time games.
 
No shit!

Note that they're both first half of the season too.

No faith in Norv to get the job done.

Hopefully, it will allow us to fly under the radar and surprise some folks.

10-6 = playoffs.
 
Bye in week 10, so we MUST be 5-4, at least, by then to be in with a chance to make the play-offs. If we're not at least 5-4, play the kids to see what we have.
 
What jumped out at me...the division games. Three out of the first four are against the division then nothing until the last 3 of the season where we close with three straight against the division. Wow.
 
You guys talk as if we were a 2 win team last year. We LEAD the division for most of the season until Alex went down and other injuries decimated our roster.

This team has talent. I'm glad no one thinks we have a chance to surpass 3 wins in 2019. Particularly if Keenum is under center, we will be a playoff team.

Redskins fans will have no idea how to wrap their minds around it when it happens.

I actually like it. We should be healthy to start the season. Have to win the home game against the Cowturds. Chance to steal 1 or 2 of the road games. If we can go 2-1 in the division early, it puts us in the drivers seat at the end. With 2 division games at home. We'll either still be in it, or we won't.

If we're in the chase, finishing in Dallas puts all the pressure on them.
 
When I say ‘you all' I'm referring to Skins fans in general. The doom and gloom on Twitter is just epic. Cleveland and the Jets are going to the Super Bowl and we're winning 1 game :)

I like that we are getting saddled with a bunch of Sunday and Monday night games. I like that the schedule starts out challenging right away. We have to beat NFC East teams one way or another. None of the 3 opponents are that scary - we can play with any of them if we can avoid mass injuries.

No question we have talent. If everyone stays healthy.

But I feel the same way I have for the last 3 seasons. Coaching is our weakest link. We can't handle a few injuries, much less a gazoo of them.
With a healthy roster, and now this favorable schedule, Gruden could be good enough. He can handle the batting practice fastball.
But he struggles with game time fastballs. And he absolutely, positively, can't hit the curve.
 
The start of the schedule is really tough. We will find out a lot about this team early on. If they come out strong and win those games, that will be and extremely encouraging sign for the rest of the year.

For a good while now, if memory serves, a majority of our big lights games have come in the front half of seasons. The league does hedge its bets on mystery teams, after all. Get em on early, before the wheels come off and nobody but their most rabid hardcore fans cares. Seems like that anyway. I am digging the late bye though. Been awhile hasn't it since we had one that didn't come almost right after the opening whistle of the season? Sheesh. Week 10 is a good time to get guys healthy, prep for the postseason push, etc etc. Hoping the fellas take full advantage of that timing.
