The NFL released its 2023-24 schedule for the upcoming season on Thursday, May 11. Not only is it an event that deservedly gets a lot of attention, but it is a sign that football season is just around the corner.
Sure, we still have to get through the summer. There will be way too much time spent debating on where quarterbacks rank in the NFL over the next few months, as teams go through offseason workouts and training camp to get ready to take the field.
But the 2023-24 season is coming, and it is important to have an idea of key dates before it all begins. Remember to track WynnBET’s latest betting odds as markets for the upcoming football season begin to get released.

When Does the NFL Season Start?
The 2023 NFL season will begin on Thursday, Sept. 7, when the Kansas City Chiefs host the Detroit Lions in the opener.
Most NFL seasons begin with the defending champs, so it is no surprise to see the Chiefs competing on Day 1. But the Lions getting the call as their opponent should make for an interesting matchup.
Prior to that, the preseason schedule will officially begin on Aug. 3 with the Hall of Fame Game between the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets.
Week 1 Schedule
Following Thursday’s opener between the Chiefs and Lions, the rest of the Week 1 slate will be played on Sunday, Sept. 10 and Monday, Sept. 11. There is nothing that quite compares to that first full Sunday of the NFL season.
