Tennessee Titans 2025 Season Preview: Star Players, Key Matchups & Where to Watch
Brian Callahan had a rough first year on the job in Music City, winning just 3 games with little signs of hope on either side of the ball, which earned Tennessee the first overall pick in the draft.
Quarterback Cameron Ward comes in, tasked with saving the franchise, but with limited weapons at his disposal and a shaky defense to back him up, these 2025 Titans probably wonât be blowing anyone away.
Although as part of one of the weakest divisions in football, they could easily outperform their fairly low expectations and set themselves up for success further down the line.
đș Top 5 Must-Watch Titans Games in 2025
đ Week 1 (Sept 7) - @ Denver Broncos
FOX, 4:05 PM ET
Cam Ward could not have asked for a more daunting regular-season debut: facing the reigning Defensive Player of the Year at Mile High is going to be a tough one for the rookie.
đ Week 2 (Sept 14) - vs Los Angeles Rams
CBS/Paramount+, 1:00 PM ET
Wardâs home opener isnât much better, as the Rams come to town as another team in win-now mode. The QB will probably have to play from behind, as the Titans' defense barely stands a chance against Stafford and co.
đ Week 7 (Oct 19) - vs New England Patriots
CBS/Paramount+, 1:00 PM ET
Mike Vrabel returns to Nashville with an exciting Patriots team, adding fuel to the fire of this all-AFC clash between young rosters.
đ Week 11 (Nov 16) - vs Houston Texans
FOX, 1:00 PM ET
Fresh off their bye week, Tennessee will host the back-to-back division champs, giving Cam Ward a shot at a marquee win early in his career after some midseason rest.
đ Week 15 (Dec 21) - vs Kansas City Chiefs
CBS/Paramount, 1:00 PM ET
If the Titans can upset the AFCâs top team this late in the season, it could be a major momentum boost heading into 2026, regardless of whether the playoffs are still in play.
đ Titans in Prime Time: When to Tune In
- No Primetime Games
The Titans are not scheduled for a single primetime game in the 2025 season, one of only three teams in the entire league to suffer this fate. Those other two franchises are the Browns and the SaintsâŠnot the greatest company to keep. What makes this such an oddity for Tennessee is that teams that pick first overall in the draft typically get at least one primetime game to showcase their top talent. Cam Newton in 2011 was the most recent player drafted first overall to not feature in a primetime game during their rookie season. There is an outside chance the Titans play their way into a primetime slot in week 15 against San Francisco, or the following week against Kansas City.
âïž 2025 Star Players to Watch
đ„ On OffenseCameron Ward â A true dual-threat QB who can take over games if he finds consistency.Calvin Ridley â Had a strong 2024 campaign and will remain the Titans' primary pass catcher.Tyler Lockett â Reliable veteran target who can be a safe pair of hands for Ward to aim at.
Chig Okonkwo â Possibly poised for a breakout season if he can become Wardâs safety valve.
đĄïž On DefenseJeffrey Simmons â Big body at the line of scrimmage, a consistent producer for the Titans. TâVondre Sweat â Will be looking to follow up a decent rookie campaign with a strong year 2.LâJarius Sneed â Theyâll need him back and healthy if this defense is to stand any chance in 2025.
How to Watch the Titans in 2025
It varies game to game. For the best, most in-depth access, NFL Network offers the most complete coverage. Nationally broadcast games are available on major networks such as Fox, CBS, and NBC, with other offerings on Prime Video and Netflix as well.

đ§ Final Thought: Can they get the rebuild back on track?
With the 4th easiest schedule in the entire league, and none of the national broadcast spotlight, the Titans may well fly under the radar in 2025. They have a stronger roster than they did last season, and most of their difficult games come in clusters, so Ward might just be able to build momentum late in the season. Loads of uncertainty lie ahead for the Titans, which makes them unpredictable and possibly entertaining.
