On Wednesday night, NFL franchises released their official 2024 schedules, and fans across the United States began planning which games they would like to attend to watch their favorite teams play. Many people's plans are determined by how much travel they include, and there's a good reason for that, and sometimes it can be expensive.

For players, increased travel can lead to further fatigue, which can affect their level of play by 100%. Fortunately, the 2024 Buccaneers won't travel as much as other teams in the league, and according to Bill Speros, they will be the 10th least traveled team during the 2024 regular season. That's what it means.
The Buccaneers are scheduled to visit Detroit, Atlanta, New Orleans, Kansas City, New York, Charlotte, Los Angeles and Dallas in 2024. The toughest part of their journey will come in back-to-back games in Weeks 15 and 16. They will play the Chargers in Los Angeles and the Cowboys in Dallas.

Another saving grace in the Buccaneers' journey this year is the fact that they won't have to travel overseas to play games in Europe as they have in the past. It would be an even bigger benefit for them if they could stay somewhere on the opposite coast for games against the Chargers and Cowboys.
