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.
Members of the Buffalo Kickoff Live team will shared their thoughts on the schedule shortly after it was released. Watch the video above to hear WIVB Sports Director Josh Reed, WROC’s Thad Brown and Matt Parrino from Syracuse.com break down the highlights of the schedule, the games they’re looking forward to the most, and the tough stretches that schedule makers handed the Bills this season.
The Bills do not have an international game this season and will not play on Christmas, Thanksgiving or Halloween. All three preseason games will be broadcast exclusively on WIVB, the official broadcast station of the Buffalo Bills.
