Schedule Rotation
In August 2001 the NFL announced the regular-season scheduling rotation for the
next eight seasons (2002 through 2009) under the realignment plan that will take
effect next season. The interconference and intraconference divisional matchups
– comprising 14 of each season’s 16 regular-season games -- for the next eight seasons
were determined following extensive analysis and discussion with NFL clubs. A key
factor in deciding the initial schedules was the displacement of certain teams from
their traditional divisions in the new alignment. These eight season schedules will
take each team through a cycle of games – home and away – against every other team
in the league. In these eight seasons, every team will play every other team at
least twice – once home and once away. After the 2009 season, a decision will be
made on whether to continue with the same rotation or modify it.
