NFL owners were granted the ability to expand to 17 games as part of last year’s collective bargaining agreement with players. They approved the 17-game schedule, beginning in 2021, on Tuesday at the virtual owners meetings.
The league had already approved a scheduling formula for a 17th game, which would include an extra game against a nonconference opponent each year based on standings from the previous season.
Teams will rotate between nine home games and eight away games and vice versa every other year. Each team will continue to have one bye week.
The season will begin on Thursday night, Sept. 9 and end Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022. The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Feb. 6, 2022 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and the Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles has been pushed back one week, from Feb. 6 to 13, 2022.
Here is a look at home and away opponents for all 32 teams, with the additional opponent in bold:
