The NFL calendar keeps on moving into May with the NFL Draft in the rearview. Next up on the offseason itinerary? The 2025 schedule release.
What was traditionally just common protocol for the league announcing the schedule and matchups for the next season has become a must-see event in recent years. Several major broadcast partners host programming during the official release and teams get creative with schedule content on their social media.
It's an odd occurrence given the fact that all teams opponents are known by the end of the regular season in January. Nonetheless, fans are on the edge of their seat waiting to find out what order those 17 games will be played.
The schedule release also comes with some leaks before the announcement, generating more excitement about bigger dates during the season like Opening Week, holidays or regarding International Series games.
Nothing regarding the Buffalo Bills' schedule has been shared with the public, but that could change on Monday.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen is slated for an appearance on NBC's "Today Show." According to One Bills Live host Chris Brown, this could be related to an early announcement for a Bills primetime appearance.
“NBC said on their Today Show this morning [Friday] that they are going to have Josh Allen on with them Monday morning. I don't know if he's going to be in studio on the set, or just via Zoom, but this has fueled a ton of speculation as to what that would announce involving the Bills.
"As we know, NBC has Sunday Night Football. They also have Peacock Games late in the year."
The NFL has already announced that its six primary broadcast partners will each have a hand in unveiling a few games ahead of Wednesday's official release. Buffalo's superstar quarterback could be delivering that surprise when he joins the program.
