Complete Buffalo Bills 2024 schedule: 5 primetime games, include 4 in first 6 weeks
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) – The Bills were handed five primetime games for the 2024 season when the NFL announced its schedule at 8 p.m. Wednesday, including four in the first six weeks of the season.
Five primetime games is near the most in Bills history. Last year’s team was given six at the schedule release, and added a seventh when the regular-season finale against Miami was flexed to a night game with the division on the line. The Bills also played five primetime games in 2022, not counting the game against the Bengals that was canceled after Damar Hamlin’s on-field collapse.

Travel and rest are things that actually matter in the NFL schedule. Bills notes:
🏈 Bills get a nice little edge vs the 49ers. SF plays two time zones away at GB the week before, then travels three time zones to Buffalo for a Sunday nighter. Bills get it after the bye. (1/4) https://t.co/rkOD8EJnox— Nick Veronica (@NickVeronica) May 16, 2024
