The Cleveland Browns have the toughest schedule for the 2024 NFL season, based on the 2023 win-loss records of their opponents. The AFC North is considered to have the toughest slate of games overall, given that it was the winningest division in 2023. The Browns’ opponents have a collective win percentage of 0.547. The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers also have challenging schedules, with opponent win percentages of 0.536 and 0.533, respectively.

It appears that in the 2024 NFL season, teams in the NFC South, particularly the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints, have the easiest strength of schedule. Both teams share the distinction of having the easiest schedule, with an opponent win percentage of 0.453. Following closely, the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers are tied for the next-easiest schedule, each with an opponent win percentage of 0.467. This suggests that these teams are set to face opponents with lower win-loss records from the previous season.
