The Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961 forbids the NFL from playing games on Friday nights through Saturday nights in September, October and November to protect high school football and college football. “But next year's calendar gives the NFL an opportunity to televise Friday night or Saturday games on the first week of the 2024 season, since the Sports Broadcasting Act doesn’t restrict such broadcasts until the second Friday of September," according to ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio. "When September 1 lands on a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday, the NFL’s post-Labor Day kickoff weekend may include Friday night and/or Saturday games. (The NFL agreed to that limitation in exchange for the broadcast antitrust exemption, which allows the NFL to sell TV rights as a league and not on a team-by-team basis.)"
