The NFL officially announced the schedule for all 272 games of the 2025-26 season on Wednesday. It’s become a tradition in recent years for each team to create a schedule release videowhich honestly is the best part of the day. And they have become a huge deal.
They range from creative, funny, artsy, and ridiculousand some of them really hit the mark. Others, not so much. The teams behind these videos don’t know the schedule until about a day before the public, so the videos that implement the actual order of the games are even more impressive.
“You do all this prep work,” David Bretto, the Los Angeles Chargers’ director of creative video, told Sports Illustrated. “It’s kind of like standing on the edge of a cliff and you’re about to jump off, you have a parachute, you have everything you need, you’ve prepped as much as you can, but you’re still at the edge of that cliff with your legs shaking. It’s nerve-wracking.”
Now that the word is out on the 2025 schedules, here were the best of this year’s schedule release videos.
Best NFL schedule release videos of 2025
The Baltimore Ravens – Severance spoof
It’s long, but it’s worth the watch if you’ve seen Apple TV’s “Severance”. The Ravens players sever their brains so that their work persona and non-work persona are living essentially different lives. The spoof is as weird as the show itself.
Seattle Seahawks – AI roasts the mascots
This year’s Seahawks video saw various Seattle players reading an AI roast of their opponents’ mascots. My personal favorite is the visual of Sir Purr hacking up a fur ball on the field.
Tennessee Titans – Mocking big pharma
One of the best videos to come out of the schedule release videos of the past years was the Tennessee Titans’ 2023 video. While this one doesn’t top that, it’s still pretty good. The Titans used a spoof of a big pharma commercial to announce their 2025 schedule, with the opponents representing different “side effects”.
Green Bay Packers – Josh Jacobs dreamscape
Packers running back Josh Jacobs falls asleep and in his dream, he goes on a psychedelic adventure to find Green Bay’s lost schedule for the 2025 season. It’s trippy and weird, and he’s randomly awoken by Lil Wayne. So all in all, a great vid.
Atlanta Falcons – ATL KART
The Falcons get an A+ for production value alone in this animated spoof of the Mario Kart video game to announce their 2025 schedule.
Los Angeles Chargers – Minecraft
The Chargers don’t disappoint. Every year, they produce something extremely impressive. This year was no different, with a Minecraft replication of their upcoming schedule.

Dallas Cowboys – Video number 2
The Cowboys’ initial schedule release video was pretty lame. It was just some of the players golfing during a “live stream” with clues about their opponents hidden around. Cute, but nothing special. The second one, however, which was released in partnership with Seat Geek was a lot funnier. Some of the players stood behind another and had them guess the opponent based on sound alone. Quite entertaining.
