Report: NFL Will Adopt 17-Game Schedule for 2021 Regular Season

There will reportedly be one more regular-season game for NFL teams during the 2021 season.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, each team will play 17 games in what is the first change in the number of games since 1978. While there still needs to be a vote at the league meetings, Florio noted "the only question left to conclusively resolve is whether the league will have three or two preseason games."

Florio suggested it will likely choose three preseason games to keep the 20-game schedule in place.
