Football season is just around the corner and fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming games. However, before the excitement of the season can begin, there is one final event in the NFL offseason that everyone is waiting for: the schedule release. The NFL has remained tight-lipped about when it will happen, only hinting that it will take place sometime this month.
As we get closer to football season, speculation about when the schedule release will occur has been rampant. While it doesn’t seem likely that it will happen this week, next week is looking more promising. This is especially true since next week coincides with TV industry’s “upfront” presentations in New York, making it an ideal time for networks to share glimpses of their fall lineups and upcoming football schedules.
If not next week, then the following week could be a possibility. However, scheduling the release during Memorial Day weekend may not generate as much attention as scheduling it during a week leading up to football season would do. It is suggested that the NFL turn schedule release into a week-long event and dominate airwaves with exciting announcements and teasers for upcoming season.
Regardless of when it happens, one thing remains certain: The schedule release marks the beginning of countdown to football season and fans can start planning their favorite teams’ games and start getting ready for an exciting season ahead.
