The 2020-21 NFL schedule release officially takes place on Thursday, May 7. Live coverage of the schedule release will air on the NFL Network as we take an early look at some of the marquee games on the schedule.
There is a minor change, however, with teams having the ability to release their own schedules thirty minutes prior to the schedule release show.
“For the first time ever, each club may release its own game schedule on its owned and operated media platforms at 7:30 p.m. ET, 30 minutes before the NFL Network Schedule Release show begins at 8:00 p.m.,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told TheBigLead.com. “Clubs can choose to release their schedule in any appropriate way they choose, while prominently promoting the national NFL Network Schedule Release show to follow, during which the full schedule will be released, analyzed and discussed.”
But how can you tune in to the televised coverage if that is your preferred method?
All of the information you need to catch the NFL schedule release can be seen below.
