*Home games in bold, all times Eastern
This schedule features nine home games and eight on the road including the one in Frankfurt, Germany, which is technically a home game for the Patriots/road game for the Colts. The Colts also have an advantageous-timed bye in Week 11.
The Colts have no true primetime games but do have two that could be flexed.
The Colts have the fourth "easiest" slate this year based on last season's strength of schedule (.434), as their opponents combined for a record 124-162-2 in 2022.
