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.
Welp, looks like another year I won't be able to see the Chiefs at Arrowhead. Man. 2 noon games, the rest prime time or late or middle of the week...

It was going to be tough to top last year's video but I think they did a good job this year too. If you look at the replies, the Bengals official Twitter responded saying they love Burrow too. I like that other teams are rolling with it.
This is definitely the gold standard of the schedule announcement videos. [Reply]

“We maybe gave the Chiefs the hardest schedule in the league. They’re playing every day of the week except a Tuesday. They’ve got multiple short weeks. They knew. Look, they’ve been our bell cow for a while. They’re kind of used to carrying our water for some of these unique opportunities here.”
