NFL to release 2020 schedule on Thursday

The schedule for the 2020 NFL season will be released Thursday at 8 p.m. ET, the league announced Monday.

The schedule is typically shared in April but was delayed this year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The league still plans to start in early September, play a full 17-week season, and conclude with the Super Bowl in early February. However, the NFL has discussed contingencies that could be built into the schedule in case of a delay due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The five international games that were to be played in London and Mexico have been shelved.
