It's never too early to take a look ahead at what your team's season in Madden NFL 17 are going to look like, today the NFL announced their 2016 season schedule.

 

There are a few notable highlights including a Broncos/Panthers Super Bowl rematch to open up the season.

The 2016 NFL regular season will end Sunday, Jan. 1, 2017. This will be the first time a Super Bowl rematch kicks off an NFL season. It will only be the seventh time in NFL history that we even see a Super Bowl rematch during the ensuing NFL season.
