Seventeen games, nine of them at Raymond James Stadium, and for anyone watching from outside the United States, seventeen small pieces of arithmetic. The Buccaneers open on the road at Cincinnati on September 13 and close the regular season, pending flex scheduling, at New Orleans in Week 18.
The table below converts every kickoff to UK time and Central European time, using the actual clock changes on both sides of the Atlantic. The United States moves off daylight saving time on November 1, the UK and continental Europe move a week earlier, on October 25. For one week, from October 25 to November 1, the gap between Tampa and Europe is an hour smaller than usual. That week is marked below. Weeks 16 to 18 are flexible-scheduling games: the NFL has not yet set dates or times, so kickoff, network and even the exact date remain open.

* Week 7 falls in the window between the European clock change (October 25) and the American one (November 1). The UK and Central Europe have already moved to winter time, the US has not, so the gap to Tampa is one hour smaller than in every other week: four hours to the UK instead of five, five hours to Central Europe instead of six.
Weeks 16 through 18 are part of the NFL's flexible scheduling window. Dates, kickoff times and TV windows for those three games are set later in the season, typically not long before they are played, so treat every entry there as provisional.
The gap to Tampa shrinks by an hour for exactly one week, then goes right back to normal.
How European fans watch
For fans outside the United States, NFL games are available through DAZN, which carries NFL Game Pass content in international markets. The NFL's own subscription hub, NFL+, routes viewers outside the US to DAZN rather than selling international access directly. Coverage details, channel packages and pricing vary by country, so check DAZN's listings for your own market before kickoff, especially for the flex games in Weeks 16 to 18 once those are confirmed.
Whichever way you watch, the safest plan for the late kickoffs (Weeks 5, 9 and 12 above) is the obvious one: set an alarm, or wait for the replay.
