Super Bowl President Day Weekend

The NFL’s long-awaited desire of hosting the Super Bowl during Presidents’ Day weekend could potentially come true.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the US sports calendar has experienced a significant disruption. As a result, the league may be required to make changes to its 2020 schedule, and it might consider altering its year-to-year lineup as well.

There is a possibility that off-season workout programs might be canceled, and some individuals within the football community speculate that even the regular season could face potential delays.

ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit expressed his disbelief about the possibility of having NFL and college football this fall during an interview on ESPN Radio. He stated that he would be genuinely shocked if these sports were to take place due to the current circumstances. Herbstreit mentioned that according to his sources, it could take anywhere between 12 to 18 months to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. Considering this timeline, he questioned the practicality of allowing players into crowded locker rooms and filling stadiums to play games. He expressed his doubts about the feasibility of such a scenario, especially considering the public perception of it.

Regrettably, I must admit that we have only begun to uncover the potential trajectory of this matter.

NFL monitoring the NBA schedule shift

Over the upcoming weeks and months, the NBA will be establishing the foundation for the future of major professional sports in a world deeply affected by concerns surrounding the coronavirus.

The league is considering the concept of hosting a postseason tournament at a single location, potentially without spectators, while ensuring players undergo testing before every game.

It is highly likely that the NBA will permanently change its league schedule in the future. Prior to the pandemic, there were discussions led by commissioner Adam Silver about commencing the season on Christmas Day and extending the postseason into July or August. The main objective behind this proposal is to attract larger television audiences at the beginning of the season, avoiding direct competition with the NFL regular season and MLB postseason. Additionally, by holding games during the summer months, the NBA would face minimal competition on television, potentially resulting in exceptionally high ratings.

Eliminating the Super Bowl hangover

In recent years, the NFL has been considering adjusting its league schedule, although not to the extent observed in the NBA.

By rescheduling the Super Bowl to Presidents’ Day weekend, which falls two weeks later, the Big Game would coincide with a national holiday. This strategic move would enable the NFL to further promote the Super Bowl as a festive occasion, and potentially shift the event’s start time to primetime. Currently, the Super Bowl commences at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time annually.

In addition, fans can now be relieved from the concern of experiencing a Monday morning hangover at their workplace.

17-game regular season will shift schedule

Starting from the 2021 season, the NFL will be transitioning to a 17-game regular season schedule. As a result, an additional football weekend will be included on the calendar.

An additional suggestion that was not included in the recent CBA is the idea of implementing two bye weeks for teams throughout the regular season. The Players’ Union would undoubtedly support this, as it would provide players with more opportunities for rest. The league is also expected to be open to this proposal, without any significant objections.

Once the 17-game regular season commences, teams will be granted a “bye week” following the conclusion of their third and final preseason game.

It is worth mentioning that the NFL granted teams two bye weeks in the 1993 season, but returned to having a single regular season bye in 1994.

Labor Day weekend start to season unlikely

Starting in 1991 and continuing until 2000, the NFL initiated its regular season on Labor Day weekend. However, due to consistently low TV ratings caused by fans enjoying their final weekend of summer, the NFL made the decision to permanently change to a post-Labor Day start 20 years ago.
