The Miami Dolphins' full schedule won't be announced until Thursday night, but they already had two national television games revealed before 10 a.m. Wednesday.

After the announcement the Dolphins would face the Kansas City Chiefs in Germany on Nov. 5, the NFL announced they would be part of the first-ever Black Friday game in league history.

The Dolphins will face the New York Jets on Friday, Nov. 24 at 3 p.m. ET in a game to be streamed on Amazon Prime.

The Dolphins-Jets matchup, of course, became a juice one after the Jets traded for future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the offseason.

The Jets have become a marquee team — their location also helps — with the addition of Rodgers and they figure to be national television regulars in 2023.

The Dolphins also should be expected to have more than their share of national TV exposure — including prime-time games — given the high expectations surrounding the team following its playoff appearance last season and the high-flying offense with Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

The Dolphins and Jets split their two games last season, with each team winning at home.

The Dolphins' victory was the 11-6 decision in the regular season finale that clinched the team's first playoff berth since 2016.

The Jets defeated the Dolphins, 40-17, at MetLife Stadium in Week 5 after QB Teddy Bridgewater — starting for an injured Tagovailoa — was knocked out of the game on the first snap when the concussion spotter pulled him following a hit by Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner.
