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.
If this is correct so far the only dates left open by both the Chiefs and the Chargers are weeks 4, 12, and 14. I'm kind of assuming week 4 and most likely 14.
Carolina is playing the Eagles in week 14. But they also have 4, 6, and 12 open. [Reply]

Isn't Carolina the only other team besides the Chargers not on our schedule? We had 4 open dates. Weeks 4, 6, 12, and 14. We can't play Carolina in week 14 because they play the Eagles.
So it's the Chargers or the Bye in Week 14. That's what it has to do with the Chiefs/Chargers game. [Reply]

Chargers are playing the Broncos on week 6 and Chiefs are playing the Raiders on week 8 and Chiefs are playing Texas on week 16 so the bye would be either on week 4, week 6, week 12, or week 14 [Reply]

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew I had to be missing something. [Reply]
