One of the most unnecessarily theatrical days of the year in the football world is NFL schedule release day. Despite already discovering which opponents the Pittsburgh Steelers would face when they were announced way back on January 10th, there's still an entire evening devoted to revealing the dates on which each game will be played.
Personally, it seems a tad unnecessary and over the top... but we are going to show up to find out anyway. The NFL schedule release has actually become a very big event. For the fans who could really care less to find out the order of the games, many will show up to see the creative ways each team will reveal their schedule. The Chargers, for example, released an awesome anime video last year teasing their schedule.
For the Steelers, the biggest thing I will be looking for this year is where their most challenging stretch of games will come. A difficult slate early in the 2022 season saw Pittsburgh get off to a dismal 2-6 start, and we are hoping for a smoother opening to the 2023 season.
NFL Schedule Release will be on 5/11/23 and featured on the NFL Network
DATE: Thursday, May 11, 2023
TIME: 8:00 PM Eastern Time
CHANNEL: NFL Network, ESPN2
STREAMING: NFL+
Once the 2023 NFL schedule is released, fans can start looking ahead to the most daunting matchups the Pittsburgh Steelers will face or even start planning out the games they would like to attend this year. We will also be anxious to see which primetime games the Steelers are slated to play in 2023.
The NFL schedule unveiling is always a tad overblown, but football fans want to see the schedule and when the hottest games will be played this year nonetheless. Let's hope that the Steelers have a chance to get their feet wet early in the season against some manageable opponents to help them build some momentum early in the season.
