Dolphins fans hope the vibes are finally right in Miami in 2025.
After an 8-9 season in 2024 that saw them miss the playoffs, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should be returning fully healthy in 2025 and aiming to help Miami contend with the AFC's elite.
The Dolphins have one of the easier schedules in the league this year and will need to take advantage, as they still have a few games that could pose a bigger challenge.
If everything breaks the right way, the Dolphins could be the second-best team in their division behind the Bills. That would likely mean a wild-card berth and a shot at the Lombardi trophy.
Here is a complete breakdown of the Dolphins' 2025 schedule, including dates, start times, and analysis for all 17 games.

Dolphins strength of schedule
Since an 8-9 season in 2024 concluded, the Dolphins have known their opponents for the 2025 season. Miami's strength of schedule for this year is purely based on the results of the 2024 season, meaning that while it is a strong indication of how hard a team's schedule will be, it won't be perfect. Some teams will improve or regress from last year.
The Dolphins have the ninth-easiest schedule this year, based on opponent winning percentage from 2024. They play six teams that made the playoffs last season.
Toughest tests: Josh Allen and the Bills are going to be on a mission to get to the Super Bowl, and the Dolphins are likely going to get beat twice by their division rival. The Ravens are also going to be among the AFC's elite and shouldn't have any trouble handling Miami.
Biggest breaks: The Saints could end up being the worst team in the league this year, even with a healthy Derek Carr. The Panthers and Bryce Young are trending in a better direction, but the Dolphins still have a better roster heading into 2025.
Dolphins record prediction
- Over/under win total: 8.5 (per BetMGM)
Bottom line: If the past few seasons have proved anything, it's that the Dolphins' success rides on the health of Tua Tagovailoa. He is likely going to miss time in 2025, and Miami doesn't have solid backup option on its roster to help it stay afloat. Zach Wilson has proven to be an NFL bust, and 2025 seventh-round draft pick Quinn Ewers probably needs at least a year of development to be effective.
Expect the Dolphins to struggle against the better teams on their schedule, such as the Ravens and Chargers. Two division losses to the Bills and a season split with the Patriots and Jets could be on the horizon, putting Miami on the bubble to return to the playoffs.
Record prediction: 9-8
