As of June 10, 2026, the NFL and NFL Players Association have yet to begin formal negotiations on extending their current Collective Bargaining Agreement set to last until the 2030 season. Reports indicate that discussions have not commenced despite the league's interest in increasing the regular-season games to 18. The NFL's plans to expand to 18 games and 16 annual international contests appear highly unlikely by the target date of 2027. Historical patterns suggest the league might pursue measures, including a lockout, if players do not agree to proposed changes by March 2031.
