TV BREAKDOWN: Excluding their Week 18 matchup with the Jaguars, which has yet to be assigned a broadcasting network, the Titans are currently scheduled for 10 games on CBS and six games on FOX. Due to the NFL's flex scheduling, some contests could be moved to a different network from the one appearing on the initial schedule.
TOP DRAFT PICKS: The Titans selected Cameron Ward with this year's first overall pick. The team will face four of the next five selected players from the draft in Travis Hunter (second overall – Jacksonville), Will Campbell (fourth overall - New England Patriots), Mason Graham (fifth overall – Cleveland) and Ashton Jeanty (sixth overall - Las Vegas).
HEAD COACHING EXPERIENCE: There are seven NFL head coaches who were hired by their teams this offseason, and the Titans will face four of them: New Orleans' Kellen Moore, Jacksonville's Liam Coen, Las Vegas' Pete Carroll and New England's Mike Vrabel. The Titans will also face off against two of the top five longest tenured coaches: Kansas City's Andy Reid (third-longest tenure – 13 years) and the Los Angeles Rams' Sean McVay (fifth-longest tenure – nine years).
THREE GAMES BASED UPON 2024 FINISH: Every NFL team has two intraconference games and one interconference matchup based on the previous year's standings. As a result of the Titans' fourth-place AFC South finish in 2024, they host the AFC East's fourth-place New England Patriots and the NFC South's fourth-place New Orleans Saints, and they visit the AFC North's fourth-place Cleveland Browns. Overall, the Titans' strength of schedule is .450 (130-159) based upon their opponents' combined 2024 record, the 29th most difficult schedule out of 32 NFL teams.
TIME (ZONE) TRAVEL: The Titans will play in every continental United States time zone at least twice during the 2025 regular season. They will stay in the Central time zone for 10 matchups, including every home contest as well as at Houston. The Titans have three trips to the Eastern time zone (at Cleveland, at Jacksonville and at Indianapolis). The farthest they will travel is Santa Clara, Calif., to face the 49ers (Pacific time zone). Tennessee will visit Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for the first time to face the Raiders on the franchise's first trip to the state of Nevada. Other road trips include Glendale, Ariz., to meet the Cardinals and Denver, Colo., to face the Broncos (both in the Mountain time zone). This is the first time since 2019 in which the team will play in every continental U.S. time zone.

WEEK 1 at DENVER BRONCOS: The Titans kick off the 2025 season at Denver, which marks the fourth time in franchise history the team has opened a season against the Broncos, including most recently a 16-14 victory on opening weekend of the 2020 season. The Titans own a 24-16-1 record against the Broncos dating back to 1960. Current Titans linebacker and free agent signing Cody Barton spent last season with the Broncos. Head coach Brian Callahan began his NFL coaching career in 2010 with Denver, where he spent six seasons. His tenure with the Broncos was highlighted by the team's victory in Super Bowl 50.
WEEK 2 vs. LOS ANGELES RAMS: The Titans own a 6-7 regular season record against the Rams in the all-time series. In 2025, the Titans will host Los Angeles for the first time since Christmas Eve in 2017, when the visiting Rams pulled out a 27-23 victory. The Titans hold a 2-1 advantage in the series when played at Nissan Stadium. The last time the two teams met was on Sunday Night Football in 2021, when the Titans won 28-16. The only postseason meeting between the teams was a memorable one in Super Bowl XXXIV, with the Titans falling to the then-St. Louis Rams 23-16.
WEEK 3 (H) & WEEK 8 (A) vs. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS: The Titans look to end the Colts' four-game winning streak in the rivalry. Prior to the Colts' streak, the Titans won five consecutive matchups in the series from 2020-22. Colts third-year head coach Shane Steichen served as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles at the same time that Titans defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson was on the Eagles staff as defensive backs coach (2021) and defensive backs coach/defensive passing game coordinator (2022), culminating with Philadelphia's appearance in Super Bowl LVII.
WEEK 4 (A) & WEEK 11 (H) vs. HOUSTON TEXANS: The reigning AFC South champion Texans have won the division the last two years. The two teams have split the season series in six of the last eight years, including last year when the Titans captured a 32-27 victory at Houston in November before falling at home in the season finale, 23-14. The Titans have a slight advantage in the series, leading 24-22 in 46 matchups since 2002. The Texans offense will feature first-time offensive coordinator Nick Caley calling plays for third-year quarterback CJ Stroud.
WEEK 5 at ARIZONA CARDINALS: The Cardinals and Titans meet for the first time since 2021 and for the 12th time in history. Arizona holds an 8-4 lead over the Titans in the series. With only 12 games between the two franchises, the Cardinals rank as the second-least frequent opponent in Titans/Oilers history (Carolina Panthers, seven total meetings). This will be the Titans' first visit to Phoenix since the 2017 season and only the second visit to State Farm Stadium, which originally opened in 2006. The Titans look to snap a three-game losing streak against the Cardinals.
WEEK 6 at LAS VEGAS RAIDERS: In a clash between two of the original members of the American Football League, the Titans trek to Nevada for the first time in franchise history when they take on the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. The last time Tennessee traveled to face the Raiders was 2019, the franchise's final season in Oakland before it relocated to Las Vegas in 2020. Tennessee put up 21 unanswered points in the second half to defeat the Raiders 42-21. The Raiders hold a 30-22 advantage in the all-time series, including wins in all four postseason meetings. The Titans have won the last two meetings, most recently a 24-22 win in September of 2022 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville.
WEEK 7 vs. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS: The Titans will host New England for the first time since Mike Vrabel became New England's head coach after spending six seasons (2018-23) at the Titans helm. The Titans hosted the Patriots last season and won 20-17. Outside linebacker Harold Landry III signed with the Patriots during the 2025 offseason after spending his first seven NFL seasons with the Titans and rising to eighth in franchise history in career sacks (50.5). In addition to Vrabel, the Patriots staff includes several other former Titans coaches, including current Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams.

The rivalry dates back to the inaugural 1960 AFL season, with the Chargers owning a 30-19-1 lead in the series. The two franchises met in the first two AFL Championship games (1960-61), with the Houston Oilers capturing the title on both occasions.
WEEK 10 (BYE): The Week 10 bye comes five weeks later than the Week 5 bye the Titans had in 2024. Week 10 marks the latest bye the Titans have had since the 2021 season, when their bye was Week 13.
WEEK 12 vs. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: Two second-year head coaches meet for the first time in the regular season when Seattle's Mike Macdonald and Tennessee's Brian Callahan lead their teams. The clubs held joint practices and played a preseason game in Nashville during the 2024 preseason. Seattle pulled out a 20-17 victory during their last visit to Nissan Stadium on Christmas Eve in 2023. The only postseason matchup between the franchises came in the 1988 Wild Card round when the Oilers defeated the Seahawks 23-20 in overtime. This year's game could feature two newly-acquired quarterbacks with Tennessee's Cameron Ward, taken with the first overall draft pick in 2025, and Seattle's Sam Darnold, the 2025 unrestricted free agent addition for the Seahawks and former number three overall selection in 2018.
WEEK 13 (H) & WEEK 18 (A) vs. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: The annual Titans-Jaguars series heads into its 31st season since the Jaguars' inaugural 1995 campaign. This year, the contest could feature the top two draft picks of the 2025 class: Titans quarterback Cameron Ward and wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter, who the Jaguars drafted with the second-overall pick after trading up. The Titans, who lead the all-time series 35-26 (including postseason), look to regain the momentum in the series after being swept by the Jaguars in 2024.
WEEK 14 at CLEVELAND BROWNS: The Titans travel to Cleveland to face the Browns in the 70th meeting between the teams, including the postseason.
