Yes its about time for football again – in just over two months the NFL’s pre-season is set to kick-off. The 2023 Hall of Fame Game is set to feature the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets. Taking place Thursday, August 3rd at 8 p.m. ET, the venue for this exciting matchup is the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton Ohio, located next to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The NFL has officially unveiled its 2023 regular-season schedule, which is now 18 weeks and 272 games. The regular season kicks off on Thursday night, September 7, in Kansas City and concludes with 16 divisional matchups in Week 18. Also there will be five games overseas:
Week 4, Atlanta Falcons vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (Wembley Stadium – London, U.K.)
Week 5, Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Buffalo Bills (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – London, U.K.)

The 2023 NFL schedule powered by AWS (Amazon Web Services), follows the format established in the previous two years, with each team playing 17 regular-season games and three preseason games. Notably, the 17th game will involve teams from opposing conferences that finished in the same position within their respective divisions the previous season.
To develop the intricate schedule, the NFL harnesses the capabilities of AWS. With around a quadrillion possible schedule combinations each season and over 26,000 factors to consider, such as stadium availability, travel logistics, prime-time games, competitive fairness, and divisional rivalries, the NFL relies on AWS for high-performance computing workloads to generate the optimal schedule each year.

In Week 18, two games will be held on Saturday, with kickoff times scheduled for 4:30 PM ET and 8:15 PM ET. The remaining games will take place on Sunday afternoon, starting at 1:00 PM ET and 4:25 PM ET, while one matchup will be played on Sunday night at 8:20 PM ET. The specific dates, start times, and broadcasting networks for Week 18 matchups will be determined and announced following the conclusion of Week 17.
