The 2024 NFL season is scheduled to be the 105th season of the National Football League (NFL). The season is scheduled to begin on September 5, 2024, with reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City hosting the NFL Kickoff Game. The regular season is set to end on January 5, 2025.

The playoffs are then scheduled to start on January 11, and conclude with Super Bowl LIX, the league's championship game, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 9.

Player movement

The 2024 NFL league year and trading period started on March 13. On March 11, teams were allowed to exercise options for 2024 on players with option clauses in their contracts, submit qualifying offers to their pending restricted free agents, and submit a Minimum Salary Tender to retain exclusive negotiating rights to their players with expiring 2023 contracts and fewer than three accrued seasons of free agent credit. Teams were required to be under the salary cap using the "top 51" definition (in which the 51 highest paid-players on the team's payroll must have a combined salary cap). On March 13, clubs were allowed to contact and begin contract negotiations with players whose contracts had expired and thus became unrestricted free agents.[1]

2024 deaths

Pro Football Hall of Fame members

O. J. Simpson
Simpson played eleven seasons in the NFL as a running back with the Buffalo Bills and the San Francisco 49ers, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1985. He was a five-time Pro Bowler, five-time All-Pro (all first-team), the 1973 NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year. He was also a four time NFL rushing yards leader (1972, 1973, 1975, 1976), two time NFL rushing touchdowns leader (1973, 1975), and the NFL scoring leader in 1975. He was also the first player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season. He died on April 10, age 76.[40]

Rule changes

The following rule changes for the 2024 season were approved at the NFL Owners' Meeting on March 25–26:[41]

  • The hip-drop tackle, in which a player "grabs the runner with both hands or wraps the runner with both arms" and "unweights himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and/or lower body, landing on and trapping the runner's leg(s) at or below the knee," was made illegal, penalized as a personal foul (15 yards) and automatic first down if committed by the defense.
  • Coaches will receive a third challenge if either of their first two challenges are upheld. Previously, both challenges needed to be successful to receive a third challenge.
  • Major fouls committed by the offense will be enforced if both teams commit a foul on a play that results in a change of possession. Previously, major fouls committed by the offense were ignored in that situation.
  • The following rule changes for kickoffs will be in place for this season on a one-year trial basis, subject to renewal in 2025:[42]
    • While the kickoff will still be taken from the kicking team's 35-yard line, all players from the kicking team except the kicker must line up at the receiving team's 40-yard line.
    • The receiving team must have at least nine players in the "set-up zone" (the area between its own 35- and 30-yard lines) and may only have a maximum of two returners.
    • Except for the kicker and the returners, no player on either team may move until the ball either hits the ground, a receiving team player, or goes into the end zone. The kicker must also not cross midfield until those other players are allowed to move.
    • The kick must land in the "landing zone", between the 20-yard line and the end zone. If it lands short of the 20-yard line, it will be treated like a kick out-of-bounds and the receiving team would then get the ball at its 40-yard line.
    • If the kick sails into or beyond the end zone for a touchback, the receiving team would get the ball at its 30-yard line.
    • If the kick hits the landing zone before going into the end zone, it must be returned or downed by the receiving team. If downed, the receiving team would get the ball at its 20-yard line.
    • During the fourth quarter, the trailing team may choose to attempt an onside kick using the pre-2024 kickoff formation. If an onside kick goes beyond the receiving team's setup zone untouched, the receiving team would gain possession at the kicking team's 20 yard line.
  • Rulings of passer down by contact or out of bounds before throwing a pass were made reviewable.
  • Replay reviews when there is "clear and obvious visual evidence" that the game clock expired before the snap were authorized.
  • Teams are now allowed to elevate a quarterback from their practice squad as an emergency third quarterback. Previously, the emergency third quarterback needed to be on the active roster.
  • The trade deadline was moved from the Tuesday following Week 8 to the Tuesday following Week 9.[43]

Preseason

The majority of training camps are planned to open on July 24. The preseason is scheduled to begin on August 1 with the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game between Chicago (represented in the 2024 Hall of Fame class by Devin Hester, Steve McMichael, and Julius Peppers) and Houston (represented by Andre Johnson).[44]

Regular season

The season is planned to be played over an 18-week schedule, beginning on September 5, with the NFL Kickoff Game. Each of the league's 32 teams plays 17 games, with one bye week. The regular season is then scheduled to end on January 5, 2025; all games during the final weekend will be intra-division games, as it has been since 2010.[1]

Each team plays the other three teams in its own division twice, one game against each of the four teams from a division in its own conference, one game against each of the four teams from a division in the other conference, one game against each of the remaining two teams in its conference that finished in the same position in their respective divisions the previous season (e.g., the team that finished fourth in its division would play all three other teams in its conference that also finished fourth in their divisions), and one game against a team in another division in the other conference that also finished in the same position in their respective division the previous season.[45]

The division pairings for 2024 are as follows:[45]

Four intra-conference games
AFC East vs AFC South
AFC North vs AFC West
NFC East vs NFC South
NFC North vs NFC West

Four interconference games
AFC East vs NFC West
AFC North vs NFC East
AFC South vs NFC North
AFC West vs NFC South

Interconference game by 2023 position
AFC East at NFC North
AFC North at NFC South
AFC South at NFC East
AFC West at NFC West

Highlights of the 2024 season are planned to include (unless otherwise noted) the following, with all specific teams and kickoff times planned to be announced in spring 2024:

Postseason

The 2024 playoffs are scheduled to begin with the wild-card round, with three wild-card games played in each conference. Wild Card Weekend is planned for January 11–13, 2025. In the Divisional round, scheduled for January 18–19, the top seed in the conference will play the lowest remaining seed and the other two remaining teams will play each other. The winners of those games will advance to the Conference Championship games scheduled for January 26. Super Bowl LIX is scheduled for February 9 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.[1]
