The NFL is considering an 18-game regular season and a Super Bowl on President\'s Day weekend.
Goodell said he would embrace a schedule featuring 18 regular-season games and two preseason contests, a significant shift from the current 17 regular-season and three preseason contests that was implemented in 2021.
\"I think we\'re good at 17 now,\" Goodell said. \"But, listen, we\'re looking at how we continue. I\'m not a fan of the preseason.\" Then, gesturing toward a group of fans assembled nearby, Goodell said, \"And I don\'t think these guys like it either.\" He continued: \"The reality is, I\'d rather replace a preseason game with a regular-season game any day. That\'s just picking quality. If we get to 18 and 2, that\'s not an unreasonable thing.\"
The NFL could add a second bye under an 18-game regular season that could push back the Super Bowl to President\'s Day weekend.
\"And then you have Monday off,\" Goodell said.
The length of the season would have to be collectively bargained with the NFLPA.
