MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. \u2013 The Miami Dolphins\u2019 2025-26 regular season schedule was released on Wednesday, with five prime time games and an international matchup in Spain highlighting the slate. <\/p>\n

The Dolphins are coming off an 8-9 season, their first under head coach Mike McDaniel in which they missed the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Miami is scheduled to play in five prime time games, including two Monday night appearances and two Thursday night games. <\/p>\n

At first glance, Miami has one of the easier opening stretches in the NFL. <\/p>\n

The Dolphins will open the season on the road against the Indianapolis Colts. <\/p>\n

Over the first eight weeks, only two opponents \u2014 the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers \u2014 made the playoffs last season.<\/p>\n

Things appear to get tougher in the second half. <\/p>\n

After facing the Ravens and Bills at home in Weeks 9 and 10, the Dolphins will then travel to Madrid in Week 11 to face the Washington Commanders in Spain\u2019s first-ever NFL game<\/a>. They also host high-powered offenses late in the season with games against Cincinnati in Week 16 and Tampa Bay in Week 17.<\/p>\n

Miami closes the season on the road at New England on Jan. 4, likely in wintry conditions.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins will be looking for a fast start and hope to stay in playoff contention through the winter months. <\/p>\n

A postseason appearance would give them a chance to snap the NFL\u2019s longest active drought without a playoff win \u2014 a streak dating back to the 2000 season.<\/p>\n
