The NFL and team owners are working to implement a 17-game schedule for the 2021 season, according to the Washington Post.
The 17-game regular season will likely be accompanied by a three-game preseason.
Plans to add a regular-season game have not been finalized, though that could reportedly change upon the "completion of new broadcasting contracts with the television networks."
The new television contracts are currently being negotiated between the NFL and a host of television networks and streaming platforms. The NFL expects a "significant" revenue boost from the new TV contract, according to the Post.
