The Ravens' first-place finish in the NFC will give John Harbaugh's team an even more demanding schedule in 2025.

With the regular season now complete, Baltimore's 2025 opponents are set. Their schedule will be one of the league's most demanding. They will face the gauntlet of juggernauts in the NFC North and AFC East and the division winners in the AFC West, NFC West, and AFC South.

2024 record​


Baltimore finished with a 12-5 record and first place in the AFC North.

2024 playoff teams​


Baltimore will face eight playoff teams, including the Bengals, among the best in the NFL.

The schedule is among the NFL's most demanding, including the typical AFC North gauntlet. Baltimore will have high-profile matchups against the Chiefs, Vikings, Packers, and Bills on the road. It'll feature matchups at home against Caleb Williams and the Bears, the Rams, Jets, and the Patriots.

Each year, Warren Sharp uses projected win totals to predict the strength of the schedule, from easiest to hardest. Baltimore has the 12th-hardest schedule.
