The NFL’s regular-season schedule release is anticipated during the week of May 11, possibly on May 13, though V.P. Mike North indicated it could extend to the week of May 18. Factors influencing the timing include ongoing negotiations for a five-game package and potential draft developments that could necessitate schedule adjustments. Only two games are confirmed thus far, and while the schedule is expected by late May, the final decision rests with the Commissioner. Fans and networks are eager for the release to facilitate planning and marketing efforts.
