The NFL will release its 2026 regular-season schedule on Thursday, May 14, with no delays expected. The announcement will be broadcast live on NFL Network and ESPN2 starting at 8 p.m. ET.
There will be no delay in the NFL's release of the 2026 regular-season schedule. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the league confirmed that the 2026 schedule will be announced next week on Thursday, May 14.
There was perhaps some doubt, as the league was still negotiating a TV deal for a five-game package. Netflix and the league are closing in on a deal for that package, so the possible delay until the third week in May will not happen.
The live reveal and analysis of the release will happen in NFL Network, ESPN2, the ESPN app and NFL+ beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Thursday.
The league's broadcast partners will announce select games during the week, and the international game scheduled will revaled Wednesday at 9 a.m. ET on "Good Morning Football."
