The Bills will look to improve on their 2024 record of 13–4 and achieve their seventh straight winning season. It is expected to be the Bills' final season playing their home games at their current Highmark Stadium, as their New Highmark Stadium is scheduled to open in time for the 2026 season. ^[1] For the first time since 2016, safety Micah Hyde will not be on the roster, as he announced his retirement on January 27. ^[2]
