Find out when the NFL schedule is released so you can start planning your game-watching parties.
Introduction
The NFL season is one of the most highly-anticipated events of the year for football fans across the country. One of the things that fans look forward to most is finding out when their team will be playing each week. While the NFL releases the complete regular season schedule in April, there are a few ways to find out when your team will be playing before then.
One way to find out when your team will be playing is to look at the NFL preseason schedule. This schedule is released in late April or early May and includes all of the dates, times, and opponents for each team’s four preseason games. While these games don’t count towards the regular season standings, they are still a great way to get a feel for how your team may stack up against their competition.
Another way to find out information about your favorite team’s upcoming schedule is by signing up for an NFL email newsletter. These newsletters typically come out once a week during the offseason and include different topics such as player interviews, game highlights, and schedule updates. You can usually find a link to sign up for these newsletters on your favorite team’s official website.
Once the NFL releases the regular season schedule, you can find it online on various sports websites or on the NFL’s official website. You can also usually find a link to the schedule on your favorite team’s website as well.
The NFL Schedule Release Process
The National Football League schedule is typically released in the late spring, after the NFL Draft has concluded. The official release date for the NFL schedule is usually in mid- to late-April, although the league has not announced an official release date for the 2019 schedule. The NFL schedule is typically released on a Thursday, although the league has not announced an official release date for the 2019 schedule.
The NFL’s Schedule Release Formula
To generate the 256-game regular season schedule, the League uses a computer program that considers a number of factors, including:
1. Each club’s established rotation of home and away games.
2. Dates and times of games requested by clubs.
3. Stadium availability.
4. Previous meetings (intradivision and interconference).
5. Geographic location.
6. National interest (primarily Monday & Thursday Night Football and Sunday Night Football).
How the NFL Determines the Order of its Schedule
The NFL schedule is released every year in the middle of April. How does the NFL determine the order of its schedule?
There are a few different things that go into it. The first is that every team must play each of its divisional opponents twice, once at home and once on the road. That leaves six games to be determined by a rotating schedule.
In addition, every team must play two opponents from each of the other two divisions in its conference. One of those games will be determined by where the team finished in the standings the previous year; the better a team did, the tougher its opponent will be. The other game will be against a division from the opposite conference; that division will also be determine by where a team finished in the standings.
Finally, each team will play one game against a division from the other conference. That game is also determined by where a team finished in the standings; teams that do well will play division winners from the other conference.
All of these games are arranged so that every team plays half of its games at home and half on the road.
