The NFL has set its 2024 schedule release for Wednesday night. However, plenty of small rumors and leaks have already begun to trickle out about certain matchups ahead of the official announcement.
While coverage for the full release will begin at 8 p.m. ET, there have already been a few early official reveals from the NFL. Among them is this year’s slate of international games. One of them will be the league’s first-ever game in São Paulo, Brazil, in addition to three games in London in October and a November game in Munich.
Several other games have already received official announcements from the NFL, including the annual NFL Kickoff game that begins each season. This year, the game will be a rematch of last year’s AFC Championship Game as the Baltimore Ravens face the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
Here’s all the latest news, rumors and leaks about the 2024 NFL schedule.
