The 2017 NFL schedule will be released live on television this week. Here is how to watch the event online via live streaming.
We have known the matchups for all 256 games on the season slate. However, we will not find out the exact intricacies of the NFL schedule until it is officially released on Thursday, April 20.
ESPN will televise the reveal of the upcoming year’s worth of NFL games at 8:00 p.m. ET. If you’re not near a television, you can catch the available live stream on WatchESPN on your laptop, tablet or phone.
The six annual divisional rivalry games are always fun, so pay close attention to when your favorite team takes on the enemy/enemies this fall. There is a great chance that at least two of them will be on national television. Every team is guaranteed to have one nationally televised game, with that usually being the Thursday Night Football game between divisional foes.
Expect teams like the Dallas Cowboys, the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers to get more than their fair share of nationally televised games. The NFL is a business and those teams always pull big ratings.
Other clubs like the Atlanta Falcons, the Denver Broncos, the New England Patriots, and the Seattle Seahawks will get a handful of primetime games this year. Atlanta and New England met in Super Bowl LI in February. Denver usually has a big following in the Rocky Mountains, as does Seattle in the Pacific Northwest
