NFL to release full 2021 schedule on May 12

NFL fans can mark their calendars. The league will reveal the full 2021 schedule at 7 p.m. May 12.

Eleven days following the 2021 NFL Draft, the league will announce the matchups for all 32 teams on the NFL Network, NFL.com and the NFL app.

Teams already know who they will be playing and where, but the exact dates and times for game next fall have not yet been announced. The league will be adding a 17th regular season game for the first time.

With the addition of the 17th game, the Bears officially added a trip to Las Vegas to play the Raiders. They were matched up by virtue of both finishing second in their respective divisions.

The full Bears slate next season will look like this:

Home: Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions.

Away: Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions.
