2022 NFL Schedule release: Miami Dolphins game days, times

UPDATE: THE FULL SCHEDULE RELEASE CAN BE FOUND HERE.

The NFL will release the 2022 regular season schedule later today - but that means there will be plenty of leaks throughout the day and we will probably know the schedule fairly well before the official release. As we do every year, we will keep track of the latest reports and rumors on the Miami Dolphins’ 2022 schedule, trying to build the entire thing before the release.

The NFL already released the international games for 2022, with the Dolphins not taking part in those games. Knowing those games, however, does let us rule out some matchups for the Dolphins during the season. The Dolphins cannot host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4 because Minnesota will be facing the New Orleans Saints in London that week. In Week 5, the Green Bay Packers will be in London facing the New York Giants, taking out the Packers as a possible opponent for Miami there. In Week 11, the San Francisco 49ers will be in Mexico City for a Monday Night Football game against the Arizona Cardinals, preventing a Week 11 matchup with the Dolphins. The Mexico City game likely does not require a bye week following that travel, but it is pretty safe to assume the Vikings and Packers will each get their bye week following their return from London.

They have also announced several of the key primetime games, including the first game of the Thursday Night Football package on Amazon Prime (Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2), and a Week 2 Monday Night Football double header (Tennessee Titans at Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles). The announcement of the games in Week 2 remove possible matchups for the Dolphins in the Chargers, the Bills, and the Vikings.

The announced Week 10 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers impacts Miami as well, taking out another possible date for Miami’s game against the Packers.

Below, you will find the Dolphins opponents for the season, as well as our tracker of where each of the game will be slated on the schedule.
