We are just hours away from the 2024 NFL schedule being released, which means we'll finally know the exact dates and times for every game of the Detroit Lions' upcoming season in the middle of this week.
The league announced on Monday morning that schedules will be revealed on Wednesday, May 15, at 8 p.m. ET, something that was reported last week. The release will be broadcast on NFL Network and ESPN2, although teams will be doing their own thing on social media, also.
