Miami Dolphins announce 2019 schedule

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today announced their 2019 schedule. The team will kick off the 2019 season at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 8 at 1 p.m. against Baltimore. It is the second year in a row the Dolphins will open at home. Prior to that, the team hadn’t played a home game in Week 1 since 2014. This is just the third time since 2011 the Dolphins will play their season opener at Hard Rock Stadium.

Miami’s home schedule features an impressive slate of opponents, including three September games against playoff teams from 2018. The Dolphins will host Baltimore in Week 1, New England in Week 2 (Sept. 15) and the L.A. Chargers in Week 4 (Sept. 29). Miami will also host another playoff team from a year ago, Philadelphia, on Sunday, Dec. 1.

The Dolphins will play a total of seven games against playoff teams from a season ago. In addition to the home matchups listed above, the team will also play road games against Dallas (Sept. 22), Indianapolis (Nov. 10) and New England (Dec. 29).

Miami will make an appearance on Monday Night Football in Week 8 at Pittsburgh. The Dolphins did not play on ESPN’s Monday Night Football package in 2018 but did have two appearances in 2017, a loss at Carolina (Nov. 13) and a win vs. New England (Dec. 11). The Dolphins have played 84 total games on Monday Night Football and are an even 42-42 in those contests.

The Dolphins also announced dates and times for their preseason games. The first game vs. Atlanta will be played on Thursday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m. In Week 2, the Dolphins will travel to Tampa Bay on Friday, Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m. The team will host Jacksonville in Week 3 on Thursday, Aug. 22 at 8 p.m. in a game nationally-televised on FOX.

* Game subject to flexible scheduling in Weeks 11-17
All times EASTERN

“Flexible scheduling” will again be used in Weeks 11-17.  In Weeks 11-16, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. A flexible scheduling move would be announced at least 12 days before the game.

For Week 17, the Sunday night game will be announced no later than six days prior to December 29. The schedule does not list a Sunday night game in Week 17, but an afternoon game with playoff implications will be moved to that time slot.  Flexible scheduling ensures quality matchups in all Sunday time slots in those weeks and gives “surprise” teams a chance to play their way into primetime.

Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday or Monday nights.
