Here’s the Panthers full schedule for the 2021 NFL Season

The NFL announced the complete 2021 schedule on Wednesday, May 12, and the Carolina Panthers are officially set to kick off their 2021 season at home against the New York Jets at 1 PM. Their first divisional game will be in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints at home.

The Panthers earned a 5-11 record in Matt Rhule’s first season at the helm of an NFL team. They addressed their huge need for a linebacker in free agency by getting Denzel Perryman from the Tennessee Titans. He’ll offer a big boost in terms of linebackers' pass-coverage ability while not dipping off in the run game either. Carolina delt Teddy Bridgewater to Denver and got former first-round QB Sam Darnold from the Jets in another deal. In the first round of the NFL Draft they took Jaycee Horn, a DB from South Carolina, who will immediately contribute in the secondary.

All times listed are Eastern.
