Tennessee Titans schedule 2025: Dates & times for all 17 games, strength of schedule and predictions

It's a new era for the Titans, who resisted trade calls and stuck with the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft to make Cam Ward their new franchise quarterback.

Ward wasn't considered a "can't-miss" prospect by most evaluators, but the Titans believe he has what it takes to step in and improve the team from day one. Whether he has enough talent around him to make Tennessee a contender after a three-win season is another story.

The Titans are still piecing together the rest of their offense, hoping the additions of Kevin Zeitler and Dan Moore Jr. can upgrade their offensive line. The receiving corps is still very much a work in progress, but bringing in veteran Tyler Lockett to join Calvin Ridley should help.

In a perfect world, 2025 will be a season of incremental improvements for the Titans, with the defense setting the tone and Ward cementing himself as the team's long-term solution at quarterback.

Here is a complete breakdown of the Titans' 2025 schedule, including dates, start times, and analysis for all 17 games.

Titans strength of schedule

The Titans have known their 2025 opponents since the end of the 2024 season. As is the case with most last-place teams, their schedule projects to be fairly favorable. Tennessee has the fourth-easiest schedule based strictly on 2024 records, so there is reason for hope that Brian Callahan's team can take at least a small step forward in the win column after an ugly year.

Toughest tests: The Titans face both the AFC West and NFC West this season, and those divisions combined for only two teams under eight wins in 2024. Tennessee will play host to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, Matthew Stafford and the Rams, and Justin Herbert and the Chargers in 2025, while the Titans' road slate includes games in San Francisco, Houston, and Denver. 

Biggest breaks: How is the Titans' schedule rated as the fourth-easiest in the NFL with those two divisions on the slate? Facing the rest of the AFC South twice certainly helps, as the Jaguars and Colts are both coming off subpar seasons. Tennessee will face both of those teams at home and on the road, and the Titans also have matchups with the Patriots, Saints, Raiders, and Browns, who each won five or fewer games in 2024.

The Titans' schedule offers two wildly different ends of the spectrum. Taking down the Chiefs might be an enormous challenge for Ward as he finds his footing, but matchups against the Saints and Browns offer Tennessee a chance to stack at least a couple more wins than last season.

Titans record prediction

• Over/under win total: 5.5, per BetMGM

Bottom line: With a last-place schedule and potentially a more stable quarterback situation than the mess that was Will Levis and Mason Rudolph, the Titans should play better football in 2025. The path to contending at any level is still extraordinarily difficult.

The key to improvement likely runs through the offensive line. Tennessee added two veterans in OT Dan Moore Jr. and OG Kevin Zeitler, and C Lloyd Cushenberry is set to return from injury. If JC Latham can make a second-year leap, the line could come together and give Ward the protection he needs.

Ward's weapons are still lacking. Calvin Ridley is far from an ideal No. 1 receiver, while Lockett and Van Jefferson are simply complementary pieces at this point. Tony Pollard is coming off an efficient year, but that alone wasn't enough for the Titans to win in 2024.

The Titans' secondary badly needs CB L'Jarius Sneed to stay healthy and find at least some of what made him a high-level player in Kansas City. A shaky pass defense doesn't bode well for Tennessee, nor does a thin linebacker corps. With Jeffery Simmons and T'Vondre Sweat up front, however, Tennessee can take a step forward in the trenches. 

Even in a weak division, the Titans likely don't have the pieces to be a playoff team in the AFC. Whether 2025 is a success will come down to Ward's development and whether Tennessee can show meaningful improvement in Callahan's second season.

Record prediction: 5-12
