The NFL’s 2024 schedule release has been postponed by six days, with the new date set for May 15 at 8pm ET. The league announced the change in a memo sent this afternoon by EVP/Media Distribution Hans Schroeder, who did not provide a reason for the delay.
Despite no official announcement, teams had been anticipating an earlier release date. However, the league maintains flexibility when developing the schedule due to its complex nature.
Schroeder mentioned in his memo that more details about activations or other aspects of the plan will be shared in the upcoming days. In recent years, the schedule release has become increasingly important for teams and the league, with teams preparing advanced schedule social content and using it as a basis for launching single-game ticket sales.
While fans are eagerly waiting for the full schedule to be released, they will have to wait just a little longer than expected. The NFL and media rights holders often tease specific high-profile matchups before unveiling the entire schedule, giving fans a glimpse into what’s to come in the upcoming season.
