Tampa Bay Bucs 2022 Pre-Game, Regular Game Schedule Released

TAMPA, FL — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be featured prominently in nationally televised spotlights beginning in the first week of regular NFL play when the Bucs take on the Cowboys in Dallas.

The NFL announced its entire 272-game regular season for 2022 on Thursday night, giving top play to the 2021 Super Bowl champions. The schedule covers 17 games per team over 18 weeks, concluding on Jan. 8.

The Buccaneers have eight games scheduled against playoff teams from 2021, including all four of the conference championship games. Not included in that are 2022 opponents Baltimore, Cleveland, Seattle and New Orleans, all of whom were in the playoffs in 2020.

Tampa Bay's 2022 schedule also includes the first game ever to be played in Germany. The Buccaneers were the designated team for that game at Allianz Arena in Munich, taking on the Seattle Seahawks. This game will replace the normal ninth NFC home game.

The Buccaneers also play late-afternoon games against the Green Bay Packers in Week 3, the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams in Week 9 and the defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15, all of which will have widespread audiences.

Overall, Tampa Bay has been scheduled for five prime-time games for the third year in a row, coinciding with the arrival of legendary quarterback Tom Brady.

Brady briefly contemplated retirement early in the offseason but has committed to playing for the Buccaneers for one more season.

Fox announced Tuesday morning that Brady will then join Fox as the network's lead NFL analyst upon his retirement.

“We are pleased to announce that immediately following his playing career, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady will be joining us at @FOXSports as our lead analyst,” Fox tweeted.

“Over the course of this long-term agreement, Tom will not only call our biggest NFL games with Kevin Burkhardt, but will also serve as an ambassador for us, particularly with respect to client and promotional initiatives," Fox executive chair and CEO Lachlan Murdoch said in a statement. “We are delighted that Tom has committed to joining the Fox team and wish him all the best during this upcoming season.”

Below is the Buccaneers' 2022 game schedule, including the three-game preseason lineup, which is pending dates and times.
