Their 2024 schedule features five prime time games, tied for the most in a regular season in franchise history (1997, 2004) and their most in 20 years.
The first two of those primetime matchups will take place at Hard Rock Stadium, as the Dolphins host Buffalo in Week 2 on Thursday Night Football (Sept. 12) and Tennessee in Week 4 on Monday Night Football (Sept. 30).
Miami will play again on Monday Night Football in Week 10 at the L.A. Rams (Nov. 11).

Miami's Thanksgiving matchup in Green Bay marks the first time the Dolphins have played on Thanksgiving since 2011. This will be the franchise's eighth all-time Thanksgiving game with all eight coming on the road. Miami is 5-2 all-time in the previous seven matchups.

The Dolphins will travel 25,869 miles through 16 time zones this upcoming NFL season, making them the second team with the biggest mileage.
Overall, the Dolphins will play seven games against six different playoff teams from the 2023 season, including four against division champions from a year ago. Five of those seven contests will be played on the road as the AFC plays nine road games in even years.
The Dolphins enter the 2024 season coming off four consecutive winning seasons and back-to-back playoff berths, joining Buffalo and Kansas City as the only NFL teams to accomplish both.
