While the specific schedule doesn't come out every year until the spring, opponents for each team are known years in advance. It's all according to a specific formula that each team follows.

You of course know that the Bucs play each of their three division opponents twice every year – as does every team. They'll have a home and away contest to ensure fairness. Each team also cycles through multiple divisions each year on a rotating basis.

The following includes the formula as the league is currently set up with 17 games.

For now, this is the complete formula as it stands:

  • Both home and away games against three division opponents (six games)
  • Four teams from another in-conference division on a rotating three-year cycle (four games)
  • Four teams from an outer-conference division on a rotating four-year cycle (four games)
  • Two games against in-conference opponents based on the prior year's standings (two games)

Here's a look at the Bucs' opponents for the 2022 season.
