Super Bowl LVIII Opening Night
When does the NFL schedule come out for 2024 season? Exploring details on next campaign

The 2023 NFL season has reached its conclusion, and the Kansas City Chiefs repeated as Super Bowl champions. It wasn't exactly easy, but Patrick Mahomes and Co. made it back-to-back with a 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

With the 2023 season in the rearview mirror, it's time to take a look at what the 2024 season stands to offer.

While the NFL has yet to confirm when the 2024 NFL regular season will be announced, we can make a calculated guess from previous seasons.

If the past few years are anything to go by, then an announcement is likely to take place in early May. That's because, in the past two seasons, the regular season fixture list was released on the second Thursday in May and on Wednesday, May 11, in the past year.
