Tampa Bay Buccaneers Schedule 2022: Opponents, Dates, Times, TV Streams, and Final Record Predictions
Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have been subjected to the greatest rollercoaster ride of any NFL club that has undergone change this offseason. Legendary quarterback Tom Brady decided to retire after losing to the eventual Super Bowl victors in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.
Tampa Bay supporters now have reason to believe that the club will be competitive in 2022 after Brady announced his return just 40 days later. After the 2020 season, Tampa Bay, an 11-5 NFC wild-card squad, won Super Bowl 55.
The club had a stronger regular season in 2021, going 13-4 to win the NFC South, but in the divisional playoffs, they were defeated at home by the Rams, who went on to win the Super Bowl that year. Here is a detailed overview of the Buccaneers‘ 17-game schedule for 2022, complete with dates and kickoff timings for each contest.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers final record predictions
The Buccaneers are at the top of the league when it comes to the combined 2021 winning% of their 2022 opponents, as one might anticipate with those tough opponents scattered over more than half the schedule. It’s challenging to represent one of Brady’s well-known AFC rivals and his local team while traveling to the Steelers and 49ers during the same season and contending with various outside conditions.
Brady will face fierce competition as he attempts to assist the Buccaneers in achieving their goals against a more challenging level of difficulty. We predict the Bucs to finish the season 11-6.
