The month of April usually brings NFL fans the official release of the regular season schedule. That won’t be the case this year, however. Instead, the 2020 NFL schedule won’t be released until May, because of the ongoing corona virus pandemic.
NFL’s Brian Rolapp said on Tuesday during media conference call that the league is aiming for “around May 9” to release 2020 regular season schedule. Last year the 2019 NFL regular season schedule was released on April 17.
As for opening the 2020 NFL regular season on Sept. 10, NFL lead counsel Jeff Pash said: “All of our focus has been on a normal traditional season, starting on time, playing before fans in our regular stadiums and going through our full 16-game regular season and a full playoffs.
