2021 NFL schedule release: How to watch, stream, date, time, TV channel, more for unveiling of 17-game season​

The 2021 NFL season is on the horizon now that the draft and big waves of free agency are in the rear view. But first comes one of the most unique schedule releases in the history of the league. Yes, that's right. With 17 regular-season games on tap for the first time since the NFL first kicked off, this year's season marks a literal expansion of the football calendar. What better way to recognize the new feat than by tuning in for the official schedule release?

Sounds great! But how do I watch? We're so glad you asked. The NFL is hosting a special "Schedule Release '21" show this year to unveil all 17 games for all 32 teams. And we've got all the details you need to follow along:

How to watch​

Date: Wednesday, May 12
Time: 8 p.m. ET
TV: NFL Network | Stream: NFL.com, NFL app, fuboTV (try for free)
More coverage: CBS Sports HQ, CBSSports.com

All 32 official team schedules will be announced at 8 p.m. ET, but CBS Sports HQ -- our free, live 24/7 sports streaming network -- will kick off schedule-release coverage at 7 p.m. You can access HQ coverage at CBSSports.com, or via the CBS Sports app for key connected devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Roku; as well as on iOS and Android; through CBSN; and Paramount+.

If you're looking for full 17-game schedules, as well as previews of the top prime-time matchups and CBS broadcasts on tap for this fall, be sure to catch our Wednesday night breakdown of the 2021 regular-season slate.



With the schedule being released on Wednesday I thought it would be a good time to see what everyone thinks are schedule will look like? Who do you think we open against? How many prime time games will we get and who will the opponents be?

My guess is we open up against Detroit on MNF. I think we will have 5 prime time games:

Detroit
Tampa
San Fran
At Seattle
At Green Bay

Well we did beat that ass in the playoffs so Im cool with it!
And this metric is kind of missing anyways its last years schedule so it doesn’t take into account players out last year or the draft and free agency let alone coaching changes. But until games are played on 2021 any other metric is subjective.

Could be I think they open flexing games in week 10. I’m good with it at 1 though like you said night November game in Wisconsin is inviting bad weather and it should be the fox game of the week nationwide broadcast anyways. Plus networks I think can block some games from being flexed off their calendar.
Well at least we have a QB who has play many games in cold weather sites - At Green Bay and Chicago each year

But at least that isn't the second to last game or last game of the year finally
Exactly! Hopefully it's turned around this year and they have to fly to us that week.

Yeah was thinking it's good we at least get the @Seattle game out of the way early. I don't mind them coming to our house towards end of season.

Not a fan of those 2 non division road games at the end but we can live with it I guess to host SF and Sea late. Two MNF, 2 SNF and 1 TNF. Two potential late season cold games as well.

1 two game homestand and 3 two game road trips. Seriously! One of them a Monday night game followed by a trip to Green Bay. Tell me I'm reading this wrong.

Hell one of those 2 could be flexed if the Rams and Vikings/Ravens have good records.
