The Panthers are back in prime time (Monday Night Football) after being left out in 2024. They're also in line, with the league's fifth-easiest schedule, to potentially be a contender in the weak NFC South if they can get off to a winning start for only the second time in the past six seasons.

This is the time of the year that Panthers fans have come to cherish. They are riding the high of the draft, and April showers have started springing up May flowers of hope for success in the new league year.

(Carolina Panthers) After months of knowing the opponents, weeks of speculation, and a few well-placed social media teases, the Carolina Panthers can finally announce the 2025 schedule. The Panthers drew the AFC East and NFC West this year, as well as cross-divisional opponents in the NFC North, NFC East, and AFC South.
