NFL keeps Super Bowl LXII date flexible amid 18-game scheduling talks

NFL executive Peter O’Reilly said the lack of a specific date isn’t unusual, and, depending on whether the league moves to 17 or 18 games (and how many byes are used), the 2028 Super Bowl could fall in a window from Feb. 13–27. A decision on the 17 vs 18-game format is expected around Week 1 of the 2027 season, in coordination with the new NFL Players Association leadership.

Six Scheduling Shifts For The PGA Tour: Rolapp Signals Fan-First Reboot

Rice will host back-to-back games, and Richmond–George Mason women’s game will be played with no fans.
