Cleveland Browns' 2019 schedule unveiled

On Wednesday, the NFL released the entirety of its 2019 schedule, including the Cleveland Browns' primetime-heavy slate.

CLEVELAND -- Following the emergence of Baker Mayfield and acquisition of Odell Beckham Jr., the Cleveland Browns figure to be one of the most-watched teams in 2019.

Their schedule reflects as much.

On Wednesday, the NFL released the entirety of its 2019 regular season schedule, which includes a primetime-heavy slate for the Browns. Altogether, Cleveland will be featured in four primetime night games this fall, as well as multiple 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday starts.

The Browns will kickoff their 2019 season on Sunday, Sept. 8, when they host the Tennessee Titans at 1 p.m. ET. As had been previously reported, the Browns will face the New York Jets on the road in Week 2, in what will be their first of two contest featured on Monday Night Football.

Cleveland will remain in the national spotlight a week later when it hosts the NFC champion Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. Other primetime matchups for the Browns include an Oct. 7 Monday Night Football matchup on the road against the San Francisco 49ers and a Nov. 14 hosting of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Additionally, Cleveland will face the New England Patriots on the road on Oct. 27 in a 4:25 p.m. kickoff that will be featured nationally on CBS.

The entirety of the Browns 2019 schedule is as follows:

  • Sep. 8 vs. Tennessee Titans (1 p.m. ET) CBS
  • Sep. 16 at New York Jets (8:15 p.m. ET) ESPN

The Browns' four nationally primetime games are the most the team has been featured in since the 2008 season when they played at night five different times. Including its 4:25 p.m. ET kickoffs vs. the Patriots and Steelers, Cleveland filled its total allotment of possible primetime selections.

In addition to their pre-existing primetime kickoffs, the possibility exists that the Browns could have another game flexed to Sunday -- or Saturday -- Night Football later in the second half of the season. It's also worth noting that Kareem Hunt's Cleveland debut is slated to come on Nov. 10 vs. the Buffalo Bills, after the former Pro Bowl running back serves an eight-game suspension for violating the NFL's Substance Abuse policy.
