NFL owners were given the opportunity to expand to 17 games under last year’s collective agreement with players. They approved the 17-game schedule, which began in 2021, at the virtual owners meeting on Tuesday.
The league had already adopted a 17th game planning formula that would include an additional game against a non-conference opponent each year based on the previous season’s ranking.
The teams switch between nine home games and eight away games and vice versa every two years. Each team still has a goodbye week.
The season begins on Thursday evening, September 9th and ends on Sunday, January 9th, 2022. The Pro Bowl will be on Sunday, February 6th, 2022 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and the Super Bowl LVI will be at SoFi Stadium in Las Vegas Los Angeles was pushed back one week from February 6-13, 2022.
