The 2024 NFL Bye week schedule is released. As part of the overall schedule release, we know when each of the 32 teams has the week off. This is where the team has no matchup during the week and is useful for fans to know for a variety of reasons. We have the list of bye weeks by team and schedule week for you to use below.
What is a NFL Bye Week?
NFL bye weeks are a week in the regular season schedule that a team does not play a game. Once set, these weeks are set. Most teams use this to help injured players recover and to get ready for the remainder of the regular season schedule. All teams get one bye week during the season. The number of teams off on any given week can vary a decent bit. The week off changes from season to season as well to ensure perceived fairness of the time off is shared across the league.
Why is Knowing the Bye Week Helpful for Fans?
So, from my experience, there are two main reasons fans like to have the bye weeks list handy. The first is just planning out when you are going to buy a ticket to see your favorite team (or watch on TV/Stream). The other one is for fantasy football. Especially for your draft planning. The last thing you want to do is pick a roster full of players that are all off the same week.
Then, you’re basically giving away a fantasy game. As teams’ position for the NFL Playoffs and a Super Bowl run, they may rest players the week leading into a bye too if their playoff positioning is clear and they want to make a strong run coming out of the bye.
