Overview
- The NFL, which announced the plan Friday, will unveil the full slate Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on NFL Network, ESPN2, the ESPN App and NFL+.
- The league will name the remaining international games Wednesday on Good Morning Football, bringing the total to a record nine across London, Madrid, Melbourne, Mexico City, Munich, Paris and Rio de Janeiro.
- Several headline dates are fixed, including the Seahawks hosting the opener on Wednesday, Sept. 9, the Rams and 49ers playing in Melbourne in U.S. primetime on Sept. 10, and the Ravens facing the Cowboys in Rio on Sept. 27.
- Opponents are already set by the NFL formula, so the release assigns dates, kickoff times and TV windows; clubs will post their schedules and ticket details after the show, with the Bears set to publish at 6:30 p.m. CT.
- Networks plan to tease select games earlier in the week, but most primetime slots and special windows will be clarified with the May 13–14 rollouts.
