With rumors swirling over the past several years of the NFL possibly adding a 17th game to their season, there is a chance that it can happen for the 2021 season.
Peter King of “Football Morning in America” reported that a 17th game could end up being added to the schedule this coming season and is actually “highly likely.” right now.
The 17-game schedule is highly likely in 2021. No surprise there. TV partners and NFL schedulers are working under the assumption that the 17-game schedule (the way was paved for it last March when players approved a new CBA) will debut in 2021.
