The Jacksonville Jaguars will reveal their 2023 schedule Thursday, but the opponents have already been determined.
Schedule makers for the NFL rely on a rotational formula that ensures that no two teams will avoid playing each other for more than four years, at the most. It also means almost all of the Jaguars’ opponents for the next few years are set, as well.
The only exceptions are the teams that will be determined by the Jaguars’ finish in the AFC South in the season prior. For example, as the reigning champs, Jacksonville will play the AFC West, AFC East, and NFC West champions (Chiefs, Bills, and 49ers, respectively) in 2023.
Barring an adjustment to the current rotation or a wild scenario like a divisional realignment or an adjustment to the amount of games in the regular season, here are the Jaguars’ opponents in the next five years:
