The Carolina Panthers tried to make some adjustments after their 2023 season ended with a league-worst 2-15 record by hiring Dave Canales as their new head coach for 2024. However, the franchise only made minor progress last season, finishing 5-12.
Carolina fans will be expecting some noticeable improvements on both sides of the ball this season after the team brought in several players this offseason. The Panthers may have an edge in 2025 because their division, the NFC South, hasn't been particularly strong in recent years.
Here's a closer look at the Panthers' schedule for 2025, while using Sportskeeda Playoff Predictor's predictions for every game.
