Fans react to the NFL announcing its schedule release next week
NFL fans look forward to the upcoming schedule release.
The NFL announced on Friday that it will release the 2026 schedule next Thursday, May 14. The time hasn’t been announced yet. Over the years, the NFL has typically announced the schedule during prime time, so expect the same here.
Naturally, most NFL fans were excited to hear this news and let their feelings be known on social media. Game week energy already and we don’t even know the games yet 😂 May 14 is basically NFL Christmas for fans leaks, predictions, and everyone arguing about “easy schedules” within 5 minutes of release. — Ganpat Kaga (@Ganpatkaga_bmr) May 8, 2026 “Game week energy already, and we don’t even know the games yet May 14 is basically NFL Christmas for fans, leaks, predictions, and everyone arguing about “easy schedules” within 5 minutes of release.
Next Thursday the entire fanbase is gonna lose its mind over primetime matchups, revenge games, bye weeks, and who got absolutely screwed by the schedule makers.
