The full 2024 NFL schedule is slated to be released at 8pm ET on May 15, six days after teams were originally expecting it, according to a league memo sent this afternoon.

The memo from NFL EVP/Media Distribution Hans Schroeder did not give a reason for the delay. The schedule release had not been officially announced yet, and the league always maintains a degree of flexibility considering the complex nature of developing the schedule. But some teams had been told informally it was coming Thursday.

Schroeder wrote that more details about activations or other nuances of the plan were expected in the coming days. The league and media rights holders sometimes announce specific high-profile matchups before the full slate is unveiled.

The schedule release has become a key priority for teams and the league in recent years, with teams preparing increasingly sophisticated schedule social content and using it as a starting point for single-game ticket sales.

^ Updated

The #Texans will play the #Chiefs on December 21st before then the #Ravens on Christmas.

The NFL Schedule is set up so the four Christmas teams play the prior Saturday.

The final three weeks for the Texans:

Short Week @ KC
Shortest Week vs Ravens
Likely AFCS after long break

That's a brutal finish for them

I'm so fucked up with dates and days with all my recent travel and trade shows, I thought it was Thursday and I was stumped as to why I couldn't find the NFL Schedule.

This old man is an idiot.

I remember A TON of "leaks" being wrong last year

Officially confirmed

The NFL will once again have a Black Friday game on Amazon Prime Video: It will be the #Raiders traveling to Kansas City for a matchup vs. the #Chiefs. https://t.co/EVkx84SN3D pic.twitter.com/wttllFIPvS

You're probably thinking of the year prior. @NFLGameLeaks trolled the world.

Now you can actually tell the accounts on 𝕏 are covering their bases and coordinating. And it also seems the league and networks are more in control of "leaking" (read: hyping) their desired dates and matchups.

I ain't saying it is foolproof, but I really don't think we're in for a repeat of 2022. If anything, the NFL concluded from that incident, "Who would have thought the plebes would care enough to monitor each and every game announcement over the course of a multiple day period?! We shoulda thought of that ourselves. :-)"

Spoiler!

NFL Schedule Leaks was just another troll job

Legends aren’t born, they’re made. The Twitter account @NFLGameLeaks is no different.

NFL Schedule Leaks published its first tweet on May 9, writing, “Hello Twitter; The NFL Schedule it [sic] set to officially release on Thursday, May 12. The schedules, however, have already been sent to all 32 NFL teams. Games will continuously leak as the days progress. I will tweet out all games as I get them.”

This was a lie. There was no secret access to a previously released schedule, no leak with any factual information whatsoever. But who could have known? The account quickly amassed 10,000 followers over the next three days, tweeting out completely fabricated matchups. Blogs, sportswriters, and message boards were eating it up, retweeting and reporting apparently leaked game schedules based on the Game Leaks Twitter account.

And the person behind it all was literally just making it up — which they revealed yesterday and promptly lost about 20 percent of their followers. See for yourself:

This was followed up with “literally none of that shit was real.” Just incredible stuff here, to be honest. The account then turned into a sort of manifesto about how easily misinformation spreads on the Internet (“no wonder half this country thinks the election was rigged good fucking lord”), and shouted out the single account who had called them out from the start for being fake.

Having now promised “much more bamboozling and tomfoolery to come,” what could be fake-leaked next? Trades and free-agent destinations? NBA draft picks in June? College football home-and-home series announcements for the 2042 season? The opportunities are endless, and the precedent is set. It’s just a question of whether people will fall for it so easily a second time. (My guess? They will.)

The bio on the account now reads “I really got y’all motherfuckers.” Can’t argue with that.

Falcons posters on 𝕏 claiming our week 3 tilt at Atlanta is set for Sunday Night Football.

The #Falcons will have 3 primetime games within their first 5 weeks of the season.

Week 2 vs #Eagles on MNF
Week 3 vs #Chiefs on SNF
Week 5 vs #Buccaneers on TNF https://t.co/NNpTiayHOZ

Alright first 5 weeks for the falcons WILL BE.
Week 1 : Vs Steelers 1:00
Week 2 : @ Eagles 8:30 MNF
Week 3 : Vs Chiefs 8:30 SNF
Week 4 : @ Saints 1:00
Week 5 : Vs Buccaneers 8:30 TNF

THREE PRIME TIME GAMES IN THE FIRST FIVE WEEKS OF THE SEASON.
No doubt in my mind this will be…
