The New York Giants’ 2024 season is finally in the rearview mirror, but it’s hard to say the pain is over. At 3-14, the Giants weren’t just bad—they were historically bad. A franchise-record 14 losses. An offense that redefined ineptitude. A head coach and GM duo that went from Coach of the Year and a promising rebuild to the league’s basement in just two years.
The Week 18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles felt like the perfect encapsulation of this disaster. Facing a Philly team that rested its stars, the Giants still managed to stumble their way to a 20-13 defeat, ending the season on a high note of dysfunction. The Malik Nabers highlight reel aside, there wasn’t much to cheer for in 2024. So, naturally, all eyes turn to the offseason, where the Giants have the No. 3 overall pick and some massive decisions to make.
And if you thought the 2024 schedule was unforgiving, the road ahead in 2025 is shaping up to be just as treacherous. Let’s dive into what’s waiting for Big Blue next season.
The 2025 NY Giants will be put through the ringer
The 2025 schedule is set, and here’s who the Giants will face next season:
Home Games
- Dallas Cowboys
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Washington Commanders
- Green Bay Packers
- Minnesota Vikings
- Kansas City Chiefs
- Los Angeles Chargers
- San Francisco 49ers
Away Games
- Dallas Cowboys
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Washington Commanders
- Chicago Bears
- Detroit Lions
- Denver Broncos
- Las Vegas Raiders
- New Orleans Saints
- New England Patriots
To sum up the 2025 schedule as of the writing of this article: yikes.
What makes this schedule even more daunting is that the Giants are likely entering 2025 with a rookie quarterback. Whether it’s Shedeur Sanders, Cam Ward, or someone else entirely, the new signal-caller will be tasked with navigating a lineup of defensive powerhouses and offensive juggernauts. It’s not exactly an ideal environment for a developmental year.
The question now is whether the Giants can avoid a repeat of 2024’s debacle. That hinges on more than just the schedule. It requires sweeping changes—from leadership to personnel to execution on game day. If Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen somehow keep their jobs, they’ll need to produce a near-miracle to compete against this slate.
The Giants’ 2025 schedule might not inspire confidence, but it offers one thing in abundance: opportunity. Opportunity to prove they belong. Opportunity to showcase growth. And, hopefully, an opportunity to show that 2024 was rock bottom—and not the start of a new normal.
