The Cleveland Browns have officially released their full schedule for the 2025 season—and yes, there's a fun Street Fighter theme this year that's already got fans buzzing. But while the regular season matchups have been known for a while, it's the preseason slate that's turning heads. With three playoff teams from last year on the docket and just two home games, here's what Browns fans can expect before the real action begins.

First up, Cleveland will hit the road to face the Chicago Bears in Illinois. The date and time for that contest are still to be determined, but it's a solid early test against a team looking to build momentum. Then, the Browns return to Huntington Bank Field for a pair of home games that come with a quick turnaround. On Saturday, August 22nd at 1 PM, the Buffalo Bills roll into town—a squad that's been a perennial contender and will give Cleveland's defense a serious early workout. Just five days later, on Thursday, August 27th at 8 PM, the New England Patriots close out the preseason under the lights.

While Browns fans were hoping for a bigger batch of early home games in the regular season, this preseason schedule offers a nice mix of travel and home cooking. It also gives the team a chance to sharpen their skills against some of the league's best before the games truly count. Whether you're a die-hard fan planning your August calendar or just looking for a reason to break out your new Browns gear, these matchups are worth circling. So, which one has you ready to grab your jersey and head to the stadium?
