Schedule Scout: Cleveland Browns 2025
We’re serious: Cleveland is a great place to go for a sports weekend. Perennially overlooked, it’s a perfect spot to see football, basketball, and baseball, and you can also get in the car and get to Detroit, Columbus, and Pittsburgh pretty easily.
For this Schedule Scout, we’ve sometimes included events in Columbus – particularly Ohio State football – because we think the two-hour drive is well worth it if seeing The Shoe is important to you. We’ve also included Akron, which is a quick drive from Cleveland.
Week 1: September 4-8, Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns
Thursday 9/4 | Friday 9/5 | Saturday 9/6 | Sunday 9/7 | Monday 9/8 |
Grambling @ Ohio State, 3:30pm (NCAA-F) | Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns, 1:00pm (NFL) | Kansas City Royals @ Cleveland Guardians, 6:40pm (MLB) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
This is one of only two chances this season to do a Browns / Ohio State doubleheader weekend. The Buckeyes play on Saturday against Grambling at 3:30pm, and then the Browns are at home on Sunday against the Bengals at 1pm. It’s about a two-hour drive between Cleveland and Columbus, so you can definitely do it. You could even fly directly into Columbus on Friday, and then rent a car to get to Cleveland from there.

Orlando SC @ DC United, 7:30pm (MLS) | Pittsburgh Pirates @ Washington Nationals, 1:35pm (MLB) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
If you start the weekend early, you can check off two MLB stadiums, as the Pirates are finishing a series against Baltimore at Camden Yards on Thursday, and then travel to Washington to play the Nats on Friday-Sunday. You’d still have time for a full Saturday to roam the Inner Harbor before devoting all of Sunday to the Ravens-Browns game.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
How about a trek across Ohio? Start in Cincinnati for the country’s largest Oktoberfest, plus Cubs at Reds. Then head to Columbus to watch the Crew take on Toronto FC or make the trip north to Akron to watch the Zips take on Duquesne on Saturday. Finally, head to Cleveland for the Browns-Packers game at Huntington Bank Stadium on Sunday. It’s the scenic route across Ohio that you’ve always dreamed of!

Week 4: September 25-29, Cleveland Browns @ Detroit Lions
Thursday 9/25 | Friday 9/26 | Saturday 9/27 | Sunday 9/28 | Monday 9/29 |
Buffalo Sabres @ Detroit Red Wings, 7:00pm (NHL preseason) | Zach Bryan & John Mayer, Michigan Stadium, 6:30pm (concert) | Cleveland Browns @ Detroit Lions, 1:00pm (NFL) | Pittsburgh Penguins @ Detroit Red Wings, 7:00pm (NHL preseason) | |
Akron @ Toledo, TBD (NCAA-F) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
If you start on Thursday, the Red Wings host the Sabres at Little Caesars Arena. Friday is quiet, but on Saturday, Zach Bryan and John Mayer are playing a one-off concert at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. No, it’s not a football game, but if you’d like to see the Big House (and like the musicians), then it’s a good opportunity. And it’s less than 50 miles from downtown Detroit, so you can easily get back for Lions-Browns on Sunday.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
Just because it’s London doesn’t mean you can’t turn your trip into a sports extravaganza! Make sure to fly in no later than Friday so you can sleep off the jetlag, and then on Saturday, you’ve got two Premier League matches to choose from in London – either Arsenal or Chelsea. And Lady Gaga plays at the O2 Arena that night. Somehow you’ll still need to find time for sightseeing!

New York Rangers at Pittsburgh Penguins, 7:00pm (NHL) |
*All times local to game location.
What we like
If you’re looking for adventure, you can head to Happy Valley on Saturday for Penn State’s homecoming game against Northwestern. Otherwise, stay local, roam Pittsburgh, and catch the Penguins playing the Rangers that night at PPG Paints Arena. Then it’s Steelers vs. Browns at Acrisure on Sunday afternoon. If you want to do all three, come in on Thursday for the Penguins instead.

*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.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
Welcome to Bahhhston! Get in on Friday and take a tour of Fenway Park – it’s well worth it, especially if you’ve never been there. On Saturday, you can catch the Bruins against the Avs at TD Garden, and then walk over to the North End for some Italian food. Then, clear off all of Sunday for the Pats-Browns game, because Foxboro isn’t exactly in Boston (about 30 miles to the southwest, but it can feel much further).

What we like
Devils, Islanders, Rangers, Nets, Knicks, Army, Rutgers – they’re all at home this weekend, and you could even do more than one game a day if you wanted to. Including seeing the Jets-Browns game at 1pm in the Meadowlands, and the Knicks vs. Nets at the Garden at 6pm.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
Here’s the easy trip: fly into Cleveland on Friday or Saturday, and hit up the Cavaliers-Grizzlies game on Saturday night. But the more exciting trip? How about heading down to Columbus for Ohio State vs. UCLA? It’s a 145-mile drive to Cleveland, so you can definitely do it, even if it’s an evening kickoff. And with the Browns-Ravens game slotted for a 4:25 kickoff, you could even stay in Columbus overnight and drive up in the morning.

*All times local to game location.
What we like
Here’s the good news: it’s a HUGE weekend in Vegas, because it’s F1 weekend. Here’s the bad news: huge weekends in Vegas usually mean higher prices. And the F1 crowds will make the city feel … crowded (more than usual). Nevertheless, if you’re an F1 fan, this is a great weekend to come to Sin City, and UNLV is at home on Friday as well.

What we like
Explore Cleveland on Friday and Saturday, but get a good night’s sleep so you can be ready for a Sunday doubleheader: Browns-49ers at 1pm, and Cavs-Celtics at 6pm. It’s a one-mile walk from one stadium to the other, right through the middle of downtown, so you can easily make it.

If you like the NBA, you can more than get your fill this weekend. The Cavs are at home on both Friday and Saturday nights, against Wemby and the Spurs, and then Steph Curry and the Warriors. In between, there’s plenty of time for sightseeing in downtown Cleveland. A 1pm Browns-Titans kickoff means you should be able to fly out on Sunday night.

The bad news: we don’t yet know which day the Bengals-Browns game will be played. The good news? There’s a Blue Jackets game on both Saturday and Sunday, so no matter which day the football game gets scheduled on, you can still go for the NFL/NHL doubleheader.

What we like
The bad news: we don’t yet know which day the Bengals-Browns game will be played. The good news? There’s a Blue Jackets game on both Saturday and Sunday, so no matter which day the football game gets scheduled on, you can still go for the NFL/NHL doubleheader.
Bottom Line
If you’re heading to Cleveland, we like Week 11 – when you can do both Ohio State on Saturday and the Browns on Sunday. If you’re heading out on the road, the Penn State / Steelers-Browns doubleheader in Week 6 is our favorite. And if you like sports in the big city, the Week 10 trip to the Jets has more going on than you can even attend. Happy sports travels!
