As the NFL offseason draws to a close, one final major event awaits before the start of summer – the schedule release. While the NFL has only given a vague timeline, stating that it will be released sometime this month, anticipation builds among fans as they eagerly await the announcement of match-ups and game dates.
The networks are also gearing up for the upcoming season, with upfront presentations in New York next week. It’s possible that they may announce a few games leading up to the full release to build excitement for the upcoming season. However, it is unclear if this will happen this week or not.
Another possibility is that the schedule will be released in the week before Memorial Day weekend. While this may not attract maximum attention to the schedule, it could still generate excitement among fans. The NFL has an opportunity to turn the schedule release into a week-long event and dominate the airwaves with announcements on various nights of the week.
No matter when it is released, there’s no doubt that fans will eagerly await news of their team’s match-ups and game dates. The schedule release marks the official start of football season countdown and provides fans with a glimpse of what’s to come.
