Although the schedule has not been revealed, the teams the Browns will face this season have been released.
Cleveland faces Baltimore, Kansas City, and Philadelphia this season, meaning those three opponents will be unavailable for a potential season-opening contest against the Browns.
Beyond the AFC North rivals, the remaining teams Cleveland will face at home this season are the Los Angeles Chargers, the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, the Miami Dolphins, and the previously mentioned Chiefs.
Road games for the Browns for the 2024 regular season include trips to face the Denver Broncos, the Washington Commanders, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Las Vegas Raiders, the New Orleans Saints, and the aforementioned Eagles.
The NFL ranked every schedule for the upcoming season based on the opponents’ 2023 record, and Cleveland’s future opponents earned the best overall record last year to give the Browns the toughest schedule in the league using this metric.
