Report: NFL could release 2015 schedule as early as Tuesday

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters

The 2015 NFL regular-season schedule could be released earlier than expected.

The release was originally scheduled for Thursday, but according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, an announcement could come Tuesday or Wednesday instead. 

One source told Florio the NFL circulates the finished schedule to some of the more influential owners before making it official. It's unclear whether the owners have the clout to demand changes to the schedule, but Florio speculates this may be a way for commissioner Roger Goodell to ensure they feel involved in the process.

NFL Network, which typically has a say, would prefer the schedule be released Wednesday, Florio reports.

The NFL has already released the opponents for all 2015 regular-season matchups. Next week's announcement will include dates, times and broadcast channels.
