Teams to release own schedules on social media ahead of NFL Network

For the first time ever, all 32 teams will be allowed to release their own season schedules on social media ahead of NFL Network broadcast.

Seattle Seahawks fans will be getting a glimpse of their favorite team’s 2020 regular-season schedule 30 minutes prior to the official NFL Network’s schedule release show which is set to air Thursday, May 9 at 5:00 p.m. PT.

The Big Lead has confirmed that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will be allowing clubs to release their individual schedules a half hour before the show begins on their social media platforms.

“First, for the first time ever, each club may release its own game schedule on its owned and operated media platforms at 7:30 p.m. ET, 30 minutes before the NFL Network Schedule Release show begins at 8:00 p.m.,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said via The Big Lead. “Clubs can choose to release their schedule in any appropriate way they choose, while prominently promoting the national NFL Network Schedule Release show to follow, during which the full schedule will be released, analyzed and discussed.”
