The NFL is preparing to unveil the 2025 regular season schedule during a live broadcast on NFL Network at 7 p.m. CT on Wednesday. However, speculation and reports about the New Orleans Saints’ upcoming schedule are already generating interest among fans. After finishing last season with a 5-12 record, the Saints are gearing up for a new era under first-year head coach Kellen Moore and rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, slated to take the starting position in September.
As part of their schedule, the Saints will contend with their usual NFC South rivals, along with additional matchups against teams from the NFC West and AFC East, plus the New York Giants, Chicago Bears, and Tennessee Titans.
Key matchups for the Saints include:
– **Week 1**: The Saints will open their season at home against the Arizona Cardinals at Caesars Superdome. New Orleans has had a strong start to the season over recent years, winning in Week 1 since 2019, and they will aim to extend this streak against a Cardinals team that finished 8-9 last season.
– **Week 3**: A highly anticipated trip to play the Seattle Seahawks, where the Saints have managed a favorable record in past meetings, winning their last four encounters. The landscape could shift with the Seahawks introducing new personnel this season.
– **Week 5**: The New York Giants will visit New Orleans, setting the stage for an exciting matchup. The Saints will look to equal their historical series record with the Giants, who currently have a slight edge.
– **Week 13**: A notable trip to Miami against the Dolphins, marking the Saints’ first visit since 2009. Given the Dolphins will have had a bye week prior, it will be crucial for the Saints to be ready for a rested opponent.
As more specifics regarding the remaining weeks of the schedule become available, fans can expect an exciting season ahead and a chance for the Saints to rebound and find success with a new coaching staff and promising young talent. The anticipation surrounding this new chapter is positive, as the team seeks to improve and build off last season’s performance.
