Panthers 2020 schedule: 3 toughest home games

The Carolina Panthers 2020 schedule is set to be officially released this week, but which home games will provide the most difficulty?

Excitement is building for the official release of the Carolina Panthers 2020 schedule as the NFL continues to proceed as planned despite ongoing concerns relating to the coronavirus pandemic.

This is expected to be a season full of ups and downs for the Panthers, who rid themselves of overpaid veteran players this offseason in a bid to lay the groundwork for possible contention in the not-too-distant future.

While this is a welcome move from the franchise, the Panthers 2020 schedule has plenty of daunting tasks awaiting a young group who will not be aided by the lack of formal OTAs and the possibility of a shortened training camp.

The NFC South is going to be particularly difficult next term thanks to a series of high-profile arrivals. The Panthers 2020 schedule also consists of some up-and-coming teams who will more than fancy their chances of a postseason berth whenever competitive action gets back underway.

It is hardly surprising that Carolina’s fanbase is looking ahead to next season with concern. But struggles can be expected during the first stages of a rebuild and any success they gather will be invaluable to a young core that will be thrown in at the deep end.

Head coach Matt Rhule has proven more than capable of building up struggling programs in college. And he has made a strong start doing the same in Carolina. However, the proof will ultimately be in how they progress and perform during a season which could determine just how long this transformation into a contender is going to be.

Here are three of the hardest home games on the Panthers 2020 schedule.
