As the NFL offseason draws to a close, football fans eagerly anticipate one final major event before summer sets in – the schedule release. While the NFL has only given a vague timeline, stating that it will be released sometime this month, excitement builds as fans await the announcement of match-ups and game dates.
Next week seems to be the most likely option for the schedule release, coinciding with a big week for the TV industry. The networks may announce a few games leading up to the full release to build excitement for the upcoming season. However, there is also a possibility that the schedule will be released before Memorial Day weekend, which could attract maximum attention.
The NFL has an opportunity to turn the schedule release into a week-long event, dominating the airwaves with announcements on various nights of the week. No matter when it is released, there is no doubt that it will generate excitement and anticipation for the upcoming football season. Football fans eagerly await not only who and where their teams will play but also when those games will take place.
