The 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft hadn’t even been announced when the league dropped this year’s schedule release date.
Before NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Chicago Bears’ pick at No. 10 overall, ESPN’s Laura Rutledge and NFL Network’s Colleen Wolfe announced the date of the 2025 schedule release on the draft stage in Green Bay.
The NFL will announce the full 2025 schedule on Wednesday, May 14.
The NFL’s schedule release has become one of the league’s marquee events of the offseason. On schedule release day, the league announces the full, 18-week slate of matchups for all 32 teams.
This year’s schedule release is coming one day earlier than it did last year, on May 15. The NFL announced the full 2024 schedule at 8 p.m. ET that night.
According to a graphic on the Cleveland Browns’ official website, this year’s schedule release will also be revealed at 8 p.m. ET on May 14.
