The 2024 NFL schedule is set to be released six days later than teams initially anticipated. A league memo sent this afternoon by NFL EVP/Media Distribution Hans Schroeder did not provide a reason for the delay. While the schedule release had not been officially announced, the league typically remains flexible due to the complexities of developing the schedule. Despite this, some teams had been informally informed that the schedule was expected to be released on Thursday.
Schroeder mentioned in the memo that more details about activations or other aspects of the plan would be shared in the coming days. It is not uncommon for the league and media rights holders to reveal specific high-profile matchups before the full schedule is released. In recent years, the schedule release has become a significant priority for teams and the league, with teams now creating elaborate schedule-related social content and using it as a starting point for single-game ticket sales.
