Are you ready for an announcement of an upcoming announcement?
The NFL is expected to announce its 2026 schedule later this month. Last year, the league announced the date for its schedule announcement during the first round of the NFL draft in late April. No such announcement was made during the 2026 NFL draft last month.
Each year, select networks announce key games ahead of the official NFL announcement — usually in the same week, just a few days before the full announcement. As @OzzyNFL has pointed out, NBC, Fox and Amazon are set to announce select games on Monday, May 11. ESPN will make an announcement on Tuesday, May 12. So it seems reasonable to assume the full schedule will be announced sometime next week.
Last year, the league announced its schedule on a Wednesday. Assuming they do the same this year, Wednesday, May 13, seems like a good guess for the full schedule release. While we wait, fans can view the Denver Broncos' list of 2026 opponents. Dates, times and television channels are TBA.
