Hot on the heels of next week’s NFL draft, the league announced yesterday that the 2021 season schedule will officially be released on Wednesday, May 12, at 5 p.m. PT via NFL Network, NFL.com and the NFL app.
That means we will all be able to start planning those game-day trips to Vegas to christen Allegiant Stadium for it’s first year open to fans.
As we all know, the 2021 season will feature each team playing 17 regular-season games and three preseason games for the first time. The 17th game will feature teams from opposing conferences that finished in the same place within their division the previous season, with the AFC as the home conference for the 17th game in 2021.
