Here's when Bears, NFL schedules will be released: reports originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
The NFL informed teams today that the highly-anticipated regular season schedule release will happen on Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m. (CT). Ben Fischer from Sports Business Journal was the first to report.
NEWS: The full @NFL schedule is currently slated to be released at 8pm ET on May 15, per memo to teams this afternoon from exec Hans Schroeder.
Teams had been expecting this week, Thursday. Reason for delay not mentioned in memo.— Ben Fischer (@BenFischerSBJ) May 7, 2024
Teams were expecting the release would happen this Thursday. Per Fischer, the memo didn't specify why there's a delay in the schedule release date.
Last year, the teams announced their schedules on May 11. If you recall, the team mimicked "The Bear," the Hulu comedy/drama cooking show, to replicate their scheduled release video.
Soon, the NFL and all 32 teams will announce their schedules for the 2024 season. For now, remember fans can view the opponents the Bears will face in 2024.
Here's who they will face:
Two games each NFC North opponent: Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings
NFC West: vs. Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks / at Arizona Cardinals, at SF 49ers
AFC South: vs. Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars / at Houston Texans, at Indianapolis Colts
NFC South: vs Carolina Panthers
AFC East: vs New England Patriots
