The NFL’s annual schedule release is always highly anticipated by football fans, but this year’s release date is a bit later than usual. The league has informed teams that the 2024 schedule will be released on Wednesday, May 15, making it the latest release date since at least 1990.
This marks the fifth straight year that the schedule will come out in May, a trend that is likely to continue in the future. The later release date allows the league to finalize the schedule after the draft, potentially highlighting new stars in primetime games.
Some notable matchups on the 2024 schedule include rematches of both conference title games and Super Bowl LVIII. Fans can also look forward to a Thursday night opener in Kansas City and the NFL’s first game in Brazil, along with other international games including four games in Europe.
This year, the NFL will play three games in London and one in Munich. Additionally, there will be a Christmas doubleheader due to the holiday falling on a Wednesday.
The schedule release has become a major offseason event for the NFL, generating excitement and speculation among fans as they eagerly await the official lineup of games for the upcoming season. Be sure to mark your calendars for May 15 to see when your favorite team will be playing in 2024!
