Miami Dolphins announce 2023 schedule presented by Enhance Health

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today announced their 2023 schedule presented by Enhance Health.

Miami’s 2023 schedule is highlighted by three primetime games, as well as two additional stand-alone, nationally televised matchups. The Dolphins will play nine regular season games at Hard Rock Stadium, including a 4:25 pm kickoff on Christmas Eve against the Dallas Cowboys and will host Monday Night Football at Hard Rock Stadium for the first time in six years, with a matchup against the Tennessee Titans on Monday, Dec. 11. That contest will kick off at 8:15 p.m. on ESPN. The home opener will be on Sunday, Sept. 24 vs. the Denver Broncos at 1 p.m. The Dolphins will host divisional opponents New England (Sunday, Oct. 29 at 1 p.m.) and the N.Y. Jets (Sunday, Dec. 17 at 1 p.m.) before concluding the season with Buffalo in Week 18 (Jan. 6 or 7) at Hard Rock Stadium.

Miami will also play in some nationally televised contests away from South Florida. On Sunday, Nov. 5, the Dolphins will travel to Frankfurt, Germany to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. It will mark just the second NFL regular-season game to take place in Deutschland after Tampa Bay played Seattle in Munich in 2022. That game will be televised nationally on NFL Network, as well as a local station yet to be determined, and kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET. On Friday, Nov. 24, the Dolphins will play the N.Y. Jets at MetLife Stadium in the NFL’s first Black Friday game. The game will be televised nationally on Prime Video and amazon.com, even to those who do not have a Prime membership.

The Dolphins will make two appearances on NBC’s Sunday Night Football package. The first comes in Week 2, when Miami heads to Gillette Stadium to play the New England Patriots on Sept. 17 at 8:20 p.m. The Dolphins will also play on Sunday Night Football against the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 22 at Lincoln Financial Field. It marks the first time since 2003-04 that Miami has played in multiple SNF games in consecutive seasons after the Dolphins played twice on Sunday night in 2022.

Overall, the Dolphins will play eight games against seven different playoff teams from the 2022 season including both conference champions in Kansas City (AFC) and Philadelphia (NFC).

The Dolphins also announced their opponents for the 2023 preseason schedule. Miami will open the preseason at Hard Rock Stadium vs. the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1. The Dolphins will then travel to play the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Weeks 2 and 3, respectively, to finish the exhibition slate.

All games can be heard on BIG 105.9 FM (WBGG) and Fox Sports 940 AM (WINZ), the official flagship radio partner of the franchise. Preseason games can be seen locally in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market on CBS Miami, the official home of the Miami Dolphins in South Florida, and will be re-aired on Bally Sports Florida/Sun and in the Bally Sports app/Bally Sports+.

This season, “flexible scheduling” for Sunday Night Football may be used up to twice between Weeks 5-10, and in the NFL’s discretion during Weeks 11-17; and for Monday Night Football in the NFL’s discretion in Weeks 12-17.  During the Flex Scheduling Windows, the games initially scheduled for Sunday Night Football (on NBC) and Monday Night Football (on ESPN or ABC) are tentatively scheduled and subject to change.  Only Sunday afternoon games (or those listed as TBD) are eligible to be moved to Sunday night or Monday night, in which case the initially scheduled Sunday/Monday night game would be moved to Sunday afternoon.  Sunday afternoon games may also be moved between 1:00 p.m. and 4:05 p.m. or 4:25 p.m. ET.  As in prior seasons, for Week 18, the final weekend of the season, the scheduling of the Saturday, Sunday afternoon, and the Sunday night games is not assigned.  In Week 18, two games will be played on Saturday (4:30 PM ET and 8:15 PM ET) with the remainder to be played on Sunday afternoon (1:00 PM ET and 4:25 PM ET) and one matchup to be played on Sunday night (8:20 PM ET). Specific dates, start times, and networks for Week 18 matchups will be determined and announced following the conclusion of Week 17.  For more information about NFL Flexible Scheduling, please visit https://www.nfl.com/schedules/flexible-scheduling-procedures.
