This marks the fifth-straight year that Carolina has opened the season at home. They’ve gone 7-3 in the last 10 home openers.

This year, the Panthers will have one prime-time game, a Thursday, Nov. 10 matchup against the Falcons. That Week 10 matchup will be broadcast on Amazon’s Prime Video.
The Panthers could face some inclement weather late in the season, with November trips to Cincinnati (Week 9) and Baltimore (Week 11).
They get to stay home for Christmas, as they will play their Week 16 game on Saturday, Dec. 24, against the Lions here.
Like last year, they play their final two games on the road against NFC South foes, with trips to Tampa Bay in Week 17 (on Jan. 1, 2023) and New Orleans in Week 18 (all schedules are TBD for Jan. 7 or 8).
Again, the Panthers have a late bye, with a Week 13 off week for the third straight season.
In the preseason, the Panthers will face Washington and New England on the road, before playing the Bills here in the third game. All preseason dates and times are to be determined.
Single-game tickets went on sale to the general public at 9 p.m. Thursday night.
