Are you ready for an announcement of an upcoming announcement?
The NFL is expected to announce its 2026 schedule in May. Last year, the league announced the date for its schedule announcement during the first round of the NFL draft in late April. It wouldn’t be surprising if the league follows a similar timeline this year, but it’s easy to guess the date for when the 2026 schedule will be announced.
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 will announce select games on Monday, May 11. ESPN will make an announcement on Tuesday, May 12.

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. It might be another two months before the NFL officially announces that, but you can go ahead and tentatively mark your calendar ahead of time.
