Wednesday, April 21, 2010

The 2010 NFL Schedule includes a sixteen-game National Football League regular season schedule, spread out over seventeen weeks from NFL Kickoff on the second Thursday in September through the first Sunday in January of 2011. The season will culminate in the playing of Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011, at Dallas Cowboys Stadium.

The 2010 NFL Schedule was announced on Tuesday, April 20, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. EST. The league determines these match-ups based upon a pre-determined formula to account for competitive balance. However, the opponent list has was released for each club much earlier. The schedule was unveiled exclusively on NFL Network. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell however revealed the kickoff game earlier in the day on April 20, 2010, which will be a rematch of the AFC Championship Game as the New Orleans Saints host the Minnesota Vikings on September 9, 2010, at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Super Bowl XLV will be the 45th annual edition of the Super Bowl in American football, and the 41st annual championship game of the modern-era National Football League (NFL). The contest will be between the representative from the NFC and the representative from the AFC. The league has not yet finalized the game date. The local host committee's web site, however, features a countdown timer which is counting down the days until February 6, 2011 (the first Sunday in February). The game will be held at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This will be the first time that the Super Bowl will be held in the Cowboys Stadium. The game will be televised nationally by Fox.
