""Most fans know full well that the schedule comes out in mid-May now. That's what we've done the last five or six years. That's sort of our target. Is there any magic to May 12, 13, 14? No. Is there any real downside to [May] 19, 20 or 21? No.""
""I don't think it's coming out in June, but that second week in May has been our target the last few years, but I don't know that it's impossible to think about that third week in May.""
""There was a time when the league's schedule drop came out in April. But more recently, the league has been pushing its schedule out during the second week in May, with teams posting viral videos to really drive home how big a deal this is to them and their fans.""
The NFL is likely to release its 2026 schedule later than expected, possibly in the third week of May. Mike North, the league's vice president of broadcast planning, indicated that while mid-May has been the target for several years, there is flexibility for a later release. The league has shifted its schedule release to May in recent years, creating anticipation among fans. Despite the potential delay, it is not expected to extend into June.
