The major event in May on the NFL’s offseason calendar if the regular season schedule release. It looks like there won’t be too much longer of a wait to find out the details of the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks’ 2026 slate.
CNBC’s Alexander Sherman reported on Thursday that the NFL “plans to announce its full 2026 schedule next week on Wednesday or Thursday.” As has been standard in recent seasons, the league has announced some regular season games in advance on shows like Good Morning America
as an appetizer to the full schedule unveiling.
That’s right. This is an article about an announcement of a scheduled announcement about the schedule.
With the NFL seemingly set to split a package of regular season games between YouTube and Netflix, that should just about wrap up the major rights deals for 2026. An announcement on a schedule release date should be imminent.
