We are inching closer to the release of the Detroit Lions’ 2024 schedule, with the league teasing that it’s coming, but when exactly will it be out?

As of this writing, the exact date is unknown, although there are some hints out there about when to expect it. According to CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones, schedules are expected to be released late next week, and quite possibly on Thursday, May 9.
