Probably Thursday.
Note in the link that they've got a delayed contingency plan with full season/no bye weeks and Super Bowl played Feb. 28.

Super Bowl at end of February. LOL....Good lord.
Hope the season just gets played regularly.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Packers / Tampa to open season.
Yup. Brady vs. Rodgers, two old codgers.
All games to be played domestically (not a surprise).
3 hours to announce a schedule.
Sounds like a threat, do you have a hostage?
I'm going with Tampa Bay as the opener. Too big of a game for the networks to bury late in the season. Sunday night opener.
Fansided is going with @ San Fran week 1, @ Detoilet for Thanksgiving and @Suckqueens in week 17 final.
Expected format for 2020 schedule:
Week 1-4: Out-of-Conference games
Week 5-6: Equal-place Conference games
Week 7-10: Divisional games/Bye weeks
Week 11-14: Inter-conference games
Week 15-17: Divisional games
As Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported Monday, this format would allow the league to cancel the early-season, out-of-conference games first in the event it needs to "collapse" the season to 12 or 14 games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on that model Packers 2020 would look something like this:
Week 1-4 AFC: @Indy, Ten, Hou, @Jax
Week 5-6 Equal Place (NFC Div Winners): @NO, @SF (or Phi)
Week 7-10 Div: Chi, Det, MN, bye
Week 11-14 Inter-Conf: Phi, @TB, Atl, Car
Week 15-17 Div: Chi, Det, MN
+ Playoffs
Playoffs?
What happened, the video disappeared. Is this snap?

Just as long as 2 out of the last 3 games are at Lambeau.
Say a couple of dome teams?
ESPN will air a three-hour NFL schedule release show tonight at 8 pm Eastern. It will highlight key matchups, schedule flexibility and, ultimately, hope.

Goodell must be loading his pants at the very mention of not having an NFL season this year. A three hour show for releasing their schedule? You have got to be kidding me!
You could record it and then fast forward through the boring bits and just watch the commercials.
I know people are desperate for sports but three hours on the NFL schedule does seem more than a bit excessive.
True but I will be watching and to each their own I guess. If the NFL is good at one thing and that is hogging the spot light with no other sports related things going on.
One other leak that's just actually me using common sense: With the Bears and Packers playing each other in Week 17 (in Chicago), that means the Vikings and Lions will also be playing each other in Week 17 (Location TBA)
With the NFL schedule coming tomorrow, hereβs a reminder of request the Packers made: https://t.co/oV22LjS5Ge pic.twitter.com/PyKW78EBaF

I could envision the last 3 weeks as Lions @ Packers, Packers @Bears, Suckqueenns @ Packers in any order of those games.
Win your division, you're gonna get a harder schedule. Whiners schedule will be harder as well, not the cupcake factory they had from going 2-14 the previous year.
So no Thanksgiving game for the Packers again. It's been awhile since they've had to play on Turkey day. Fine by me.
What's the date on week two?
I donβt mind them not playing on Thanksgiving. Seems like you always get Detroitβs best effort on T Day although they havenβt lost in Dallass in a while.
I was guessing they'd make us open at SF.
MN at NO Christmas night.
week 3 Sunday Sept 27
Packers at Saints

He's pretty much nailed the entire Packer schedule down.
Yay! Now I don't have to watch that 3 hour horseshit show
Every time they're about to announce the Packers' next game, ESPN cuts to a commercial.

State Farm? Copper Fit?
Kfan just announced Packers at vikings season opener.
My buddy at Colts told me Packers at Colts 11/22 1pm. He's trying to get me tickets.
I saw the rest but didn't really care to try to remember.
