ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the NFL is expected to expand the regular season schedule to 17 games this week.
The schedule will go in effect for 2021. Once finalized, the game will be added at the end of the season, bumping the Super Bowl back to the second weekend in February. The 17-game season coincides with the league's new broadcasting agreements and has been in the works since the CBA was signed last March. The addition of a Week 18 is a win for the NFL but comes with drawbacks on both single-season records and player safety. Fantasy leagues are likely to move to a 14-week regular season.
