It’s almost time to plan your lives for the fall! The 2024 NFL schedule will be released in full on May 15, according to league sources.

The league is expected to sprinkle a few game announcements leading up to the full release, as that has been the playbook in the past. But what goes into mapping out the schedules for every team?

Here’s a glimpse at how it works:

• Each team plays its divisional opponent twice per season, once at home and once away.
• Teams will play others in their conference with matching division finishes from last season. For example, the Lions, who finished first in the NFC North last season, will face other NFC teams that won their divisions.
• Intra-conference divisions rotate each season to play each other. For example, NFC West teams will play NFC North teams this season.
• Inter-conference divisions rotate each season to play each other. For example, AFC West teams will play NFC South teams this season.
• As for the 17th game, here’s how the league describes it: An additional game against a non-conference opponent from a division that the team is not scheduled to play. Matchups are based on division ranking from the previous season.

Here’s a look at every opponent for every team for the 2024 season:
