The 2023 NFL regular season schedule is expected to be released Thursday night in a primetime special. A report on Monday indicated the league was still working to put together the “mega” games, including the opening week primetime games and several of the holiday feature games. The league, later in Monday, however doubled down on the Thursday release, indicating they are making progress toward putting together the entire 2023 slate.
The 2023 NFL season kicks off on Thursday, September 7. Traditionally, the defending Super Bowl champion hosts the opening game, celebrating their championship; for this season, the Kansas City Chiefs, after winning Super Bowl LVII, should be hosting the kickoff game.
