Indianapolis Colts fans have reason for optimism in 2024. Despite losing their promising first-round rookie quarterback just four games into the 2024 season, the Colts stayed in the playoff (and AFC South) hunt and narrowly missed out on the postseason.
This shows that the Colts can compete even without stellar quarterback play so having Anthony Richardson healthy for the 2024 season can be a major difference for Indy as they look to get back to the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.
Even better for Indianapolis is that their schedule appears to be one of the easier ones in the league. We'll take all of the help we can get!
Colts 2024 schedule
The Colts schedule for 2024 has not been released yet nor do we know the date of the schedule release for 2024. Typically, the league has a big event for their schedule release that is usually held a few weeks after the NFL Draft.
While we don't know the order of the games on Indy's schedule, we know who will be on their schedule and whether the good guys are the home team or playing on the road.

Jacksonville Jaguars | Jacksonville Jaguars |
Tennessee Titans | Tennessee Titans |
Buffalo Bills | Denver Broncos |
Chicago Bears | Green Bay Packers |

Miami Dolphins | New England Patriots |
Pittsburgh Steelers | New York Giants |

The AFC has an additional road game this year and for the Colts, their "extra" game will come against the Giants since both teams finished third in their division. The full divisions the Colts will face aside from their own are the AFC East and the NFC North.
The home game slate will give the Colts some difficult opponents, as five of their eight home games will come against teams who made the playoffs in 2023. The away slate should be less tough but they'll still have to play in some insane environments such as Green Bay and Minnesota.
The toughest opponents on Indianapolis' schedule in 2024 are the Texans from their own division, the Bills, Lions, Dolphins, and Packers. The Dolphins could also give them a tough time but they tended to struggle against good teams.
