The NY Jets 2024 NFL schedule has been released. Here's who, when and where Gang Green plays.
NEW YORK -- New York Jets fans finally know who, when and where Gang Green will play during the 2024 season, now that the NFL schedule has been released.
The Jets have eight home games and nine road games next season, including a trip to San Francisco to face Brock Purdy and the defending NFC champion 49ers on Monday Night Football to open the season on Sept. 9. They will also face the Minnesota Vikings in London on Oct. 6.
New York enters the 2024 season looking to rebound from a very disappointing 2023 season, which was derailed when quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1. The Jets never recovered, finishing 7-10 and extending the NFL's longest playoff drought to 13 seasons.
The Jets haven't made the playoffs since losing the 2010 AFC championship game to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Jets 2024 draft recap
The Jets loaded up on offense in the 2024 NFL Draft. They beefed up their offensive line by selecting Penn State tackle Olumuyiwa "Olu" Fashanu with the 11th pick in the first round. Fashanu was named 2023 Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year and AP First Team All-American.
On the draft's second day, the Jets traded up to the first pick in the third round and grabbed wide receiver Malachi Corley from Western Kentucky. Corley set a school record with 259 career receptions. His 29 career touchdowns are second all-time in program history. Draft analysts highlighted his speed.
On Day 3, the Jets selected running back Braelon Allen from Wisconsin and then traded up in the fifth round and grabbed quarterback Jordan Travis from Florida State. Travis was an early contender for the Heisman Trophy in 2023, then suffered a season-ending leg injury that upended the Seminoles' championship hopes.
The Jets were back on the clock two picks later and selected Isaiah Davis, a running back from South Dakota State.
With the last pick in the fifth round, the Jets took defensive back Qwan'tez Stiggers, who played for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League in 2023. He's the first CFL player ever drafted.
With the final pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Jets selected Alabama defensive back Jaylen Key.
