Schedule Scout: Miami Dolphins 2025
Planning on taking a road trip this fall to see a game at Hard Rock Stadium? Or perhaps following the Dolphins on the road this season? Either way, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about what else is going on. Want to see more than one game in a weekend? Or even on the same day? We’ll show you exactly where you can do that.
This Schedule Scout covers both Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, because the two markets are part of the South Florida community. So that means the Dolphins, Heat, Marlins, FIU, and Hurricanes in Miami, and the Panthers, InterMiami, and FAU in Ft. Lauderdale.
Week 1: September 4-8, Miami Dolphins @ Indianapolis Colts
Thursday 9/4 | Friday 9/5 | Saturday 9/6 | Sunday 9/7 | Monday 9/8 |
Chicago Sky @ Indiana Fever, 6:30pm (WNBA) | Kent State @ Indiana, 12:00pm (NCAA-F) | Miami Dolphins @ Indianapolis Colts, 1:00pm (NFL) | ||
Southern Illinois @ Purdue, 7:30pm, (NCAA-F) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
Get in on Friday so you can catch Caitlin Clark and the Fever playing their biggest rival, the Chicago Sky. That’s a 6:30 tip-off, so plan accordingly. On Saturday, you can choose between college football games at Indiana or Purdue: Indiana is the more convenient early time slot, but Purdue is close enough (70 miles) that the late-night return drive won’t be so bad. On Sunday, it’s Colts-Dolphins at 1:00.

What we like
It’s a solid lineup for the Dolphins’ home opener weekend. Start out on Friday night at loanDepot Park for Marlins vs. Tigers. On Saturday, the Hurricanes host South Florida at Hard Rock Stadium, where the Dolphins will also host the Patriots on Sunday afternoon. If you’re heading back to Boston, you can almost certainly catch a flight that night after the game.

Dua Lipa, 7:30pm, Kaseya Center |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
We say you get in on Friday and go check out Dua Lipa at Kaseya Center. On Saturday, go off the beaten path and see FAU take on Memphis up in Boca Raton. On Sunday, you can catch the late afternoon Marlins vs. Mets game at loanDepot Park. And then you’ve got all day on Monday to hang out on the beach before heading to Hard Rock Stadium for Monday Night Football.

Oregon State @ Appalachian State, TBD (NCAA-F) | Miami Dolphins @ Carolina Panthers, 1:00pm (NFL) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
It’s a quiet weekend in Charlotte, with just the Panthers-Dolphins game happening on Sunday. If you aren’t content checking out the great breweries in the city, you could rent a car and head to Appalachian State (100 miles) for their game against Oregon State on Saturday.

Ottawa Senators @ Florida Panthers, 7:00pm (NHL) | ||||
Chris Stapleton, 7:30pm, Hard Rock Live (concert) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
It will be 85 degrees outside, but that won’t stop the defending Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers from taking the ice on both Thursday and Saturday, so if you like hockey, take your pick. (BTW: Sawgrass Mills, the largest outlet mall in the US, is located directly across the street from Amerant Bank Arena, so you could check that out for 10 hours before walking across the street to the game). And then it’s Dolphins vs. Chargers at 1:00 on Sunday.

NY Red Bulls @ Columbus Crew, 6:00pm (MLS) | Miami Dolphins @ Cleveland Browns, 1:00pm (NFL) | |||
Tampa Bay Lightning @ Columbus Blue Jackets, 7:00pm (NHL) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
It’s just the Browns-Dolphins game in Cleveland this weekend, but if the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn’t enough to keep your attention, you could fly into Columbus first to see the Crew or Blue Jackets. It’s a two-hour drive, so you could drive up to Cleveland after either one and be ready for the Browns game on Sunday.

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Atlanta Hawks, 7:30pm (NBA) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
On Saturday, head over to Bobby Dodd Stadium to watch the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets take on the Syracuse Orange. The Hawks also host the Thunder at 7:30 at State Farm Arena if you prefer NBA action. The Falcons then face off against the Dolphins in an early afternoon matchup on Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens @ Miami Dolphins, 8:15pm (NFL) | Dallas Stars @ Florida Panthers, 6:00pm (NHL) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
The Dolphins and Ravens draw the Thursday night slot this week, so you’ll want to fly to South Florida early to grab that rental car and get to the stadium. After that, you’ll have the weekend to get some sun. The only other sporting event on the calendar is the Florida Panthers hosting the Dallas Stars on Saturday night at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise. TSI Tip: The arena is next door to Sawgrass Mills, the largest outlet mall in the US. You could easily spend a day there before walking across the street to see some hockey.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
If football and basketball are your thing, you’ve picked a good weekend to be in Miami. On Friday and Saturday, the Miami Heat play at home, with Friday’s game against Charlotte being a Gold Cup matchup. On Saturday, how could an upstate New York sports fan resist seeing Syracuse play the Hurricanes? It’s a New York State road doubleheader! Bills? Syracuse? The schedule gods were listening.

Serbia @ England, 7:45pm (Wembley Stadium, London) | ||||
Portugal @ Ireland, 7:45pm (Aviva Stadium, Dublin) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
You think just because it’s Europe that you won’t have doubleheader opportunities? Think again! If you just want to stay local, the Real Madrid premier basketball team will host Greek squad Panathinaikos on Thursday night. But if you’re looking for professional soccer, the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers are happening that weekend as well. You could see a match in Andorra, Paris, London, or Dublin on Thursday, or Luxembourg or Gibraltar on Friday, and still make it to Madrid for the Sunday game in plenty of time. Andorra and Gibraltar would be challenging commutes, but the rest are reasonable for getting to Madrid.

What we like
Thanksgiving brings an early Christmas gift – a sampler platter of South Florida sports. Start on Friday afternoon in Sunrise with the Panthers hosting the Calgary Flames at 4:00. On Saturday, head down to Miami for the Heat vs. the Detroit Pistons at Kaseya Center. And on Sunday, it’s the Dolphins vs. the Saints at Hard Rock Stadium. Perfect!

What we like
You’ll be really busy this weekend in NYC if sports are your thing. On Thursday, you can take the Long Island Railroad to the UBS Arena for Islanders vs. Avalanche. On Friday, you’ll go the exact opposite direction out to Newark for Devils vs. Golden Knights. On Saturday, it’s doubleheader time, with the Rangers hosting the Avs at the Garden at 12:30, and the Nets hosting the Pelicans in Brooklyn at 5:00 (absolutely doable). On Sunday, you’ll catch the Jets against the Dolphins at MetLife Stadium before flying out that evening. Beat that!

What we like
If you like hockey, then this is a great weekend to be in Pittsburgh. Start on Saturday with the Penguins hosting the Sharks, and then you can turn right around on Sunday and see them back at it against the Mammoth. And you’ll still have all of Monday afternoon to pregame for the Steelers-Dolphins game at Acrisure.

What we like
Same team doubleheader alert! If you’re a Tampa fan, you’re in luck. Both the Lightning and Bucs are playing in South Florida this weekend. On Saturday, the Lightning are at the Panthers up in Sunrise, and on Sunday, it’s Bucs at Dolphins. Considering it’s a doable drive or train ride from Tampa, this is a road trip not to miss!

What we like
Same team doubleheader alert! If you’re a Tampa fan, you’re in luck. Both the Lightning and Bucs are playing in South Florida this weekend. On Saturday, the Lightning are at the Panthers up in Sunrise, and on Sunday, it’s Bucs at Dolphins. Considering it’s a doable drive or train ride from Tampa, this is a road trip not to miss!

What we like
It’s just the Pats and Dolphins on the sports schedule this weekend in Boston, so you can spend your free time eating chowder and washing it down with some Sam Adams. The game date/time is currently unknown, but it will most likely be a Sunday game. But don’t make any non-refundable plans until you know for sure.

Bottom Line
If you’re heading to Miami for a game this season, we like Week 10 if you’re a Buffalo fan (because both the Bills and Syracuse will be there), and why not Week 17’s post-Christmas lineup of the NFL, NBA, and NHL in the same weekend?
If you’re following the Dolphins on the road, the Week 14 game against the Jets in New York has a ton of other things going on, and we always like going to Pittsburgh for sports (Week 15).
Happy sports travels!
