Report: NFL targeting May 11 for schedule release

The NFL is finalizing plans to release the 2023-2024 schedule on May 11, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

With Lamar Jackson signing his record-breaking contract and Aaron Rodgers officially being traded to the New York Jets, the league is ready to schedule official dates, Schefter adds.

NFL Network will broadcast a live show, providing analysis of the top matchups and prime-time games. The league will also reveal when the international games will be played.

Teams are permitted to announce their first home game two hours before the official release.

The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will host the season opener on Sept. 7.
