NFL fans are one step closer to knowing who their favorite teams will play from Week 1 through Week 17.
League spokesman Brian McCarthy tweeted Friday that the 2015 NFL schedule will be released next week. No day was given, but last year's schedule was unveiled on a Wednesday. A breakdown of home and away opponents for each team was released by the NFL in December.
Along with revealing next season's slate of Sunday, Monday and Thursday night prime-time tilts, next week's release also will unveil who the Super Bowl-winning New England Patriots will play in September's NFL Kickoff.
