The full Giants schedule has been reportedly revealed, via USA Today’s Art Stapleton, and it is an absolute gauntlet, widely considered to be the toughest in the NFL.
As had been reported earlier on Monday, New York begins its season with consecutive road games against division rivals, facing the Commanders and Cowboys in Week 1 and Week 2, respectively. Big Blue’s home opener comes a week later against the three-time defending AFC champion Chiefs on Sunday Night Football before taking on the Chargers at home in Week 4.
A bit of a break in the early-season gauntlet comes in Week 5 on the road against the Saints before taking on the defending champion Eagles at home four days later on Thursday Night Football. The team’s next primetime game comes in Week 13 against the Patriots on Monday Night Football in Foxborough.
In between those two primetime games comes matchups with four playoff teams from last year in the Broncos, Eagles, Packers, and Lions. The 49ers and Bears are also mixed in during that stretch.
The Giants will have a bye in Week 14 before hosting the Commanders and Vikings. A Saturday matchup in Vegas against the Raiders before the regular season comes to a close at MetLife Stadium against Dallas.
