The full 2024 NFL schedule is set to be released on May 15 at 8 p.m. ET, according to a memo sent to teams by executive vice president of media distribution Hans Schroeder on Tuesday. This announcement comes after signs had previously pointed to the schedule being released next week, as reported by PFT.
Teams had originally expected the schedule to be released on Thursday, but the reason for the delay was not explained in the memo. One possible reason for the delay could be the league’s recent decision to play two games on Wednesday, December 25. Schroeder had previously stated that the NFL would not schedule games on Christmas when it falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday. This decision required the league to select the Christmas matchups, negotiate broadcasting rights, and schedule the participating teams to also play on the preceding Saturday.
Despite the delay, football fans can expect to see their favorite teams playing soon in the upcoming season. While it may not be released as early as anticipated, the schedule will be made public in due time and reveal all of the exciting matchups and rivalries that await fans in 2024.
