NFL Owners Approve Friday Games Exemption

NFL owners voted Tuesday to exempt Friday games from short-week restrictions, effectively treating them like Saturday, Sunday, and Monday games for scheduling purposes.

This change grants teams greater flexibility to schedule games on standalone dates, including Christmas. As the holiday falls on a Friday this year, the league plans to host multiple games, aiming to feature high-profile teams without limiting their opportunities for shorter turnarounds during the regular season.
