NFL schedule: What to know about the 2023 games, including international matchups
A running blog on everything to know about the 2023 NFL schedule release.
Although the NFL will not announce their full schedule until Thursday at 7 p.m. (on the NFL Network), they are releasing notable games in advance.
While we continue to wait word on any Dallas Cowboys games, here is what we know so far:
European matchups set
The NFL announced their complete European games. This season, the NFL will play three games in London and two games in Germany. And for the first time, a NFL team — the Jacksonville Jaguars — will play in back-to-back games in London.
The international schedule:
Oct. 1 (Week 4): Atlanta vs. Jacksonville, Wembley Stadium, London
Oct. 8 (Week 5): Jacksonville vs. Buffalo, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Oct. 15 (Week 6): Baltimore vs Tennessee, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Nov. 5 (Week 9): Miami vs. Kansas City, Frankfurt Stadium, Frankfurt
Nov. 12 (Week 10): Indianapolis vs. New England, Frankfurt Stadium, Frankfurt
Black Friday football
The NFL is expanding its Thanksgiving football weekend. Not only will there be three games on Turkey Day as usual (those games have yet to be announced, but it’s a safe bet the Lions and Cowboys will host games), the NFL has scheduled a game for Black Friday.
The New York Jets and Miami Dolphins will meet on Nov. 24 at 2 p.m. CT. The game will be streamed on Prime Video.
New Year’s Eve blockbuster
Word has leaked that the Week 17 will feature a rematch of the past two AFC champions. The Kansas CIty Chiefs will host the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 31 at 3:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on CBS.
