Senior Bowl Week Moving With NFL Schedule Shift to 17 Games
The game itself will now be held on the first Saturday of February each year moving forward.
After years of speculation on the matter, the NFL announced it would in fact have 17-game seasons moving forward beginning this year. The NFL officially released the full 2021 season schedule Wednesday evening.
The event will not change locations, remaining at home in Mobile, Alabama on the campus of the University of South Alabama at Hancock Whitney Stadium, which debuted as the new home for the Senior Bowl in 2021. The shift in schedule will also allow the Senior Bowl to be fixated between the NFL s conference championship weekend and the Super Bowl as has been its tradition.
