NFL owners voted to approve the new kickoff rule.
Quick Glance: New NFL Kickoff Format to Promote Increased Returns
- The NFL has approved a change to the kickoff format to encourage more returns. Kickoffs will have a different appearance starting next season as the league's owners have given the green light to the hybrid kickoff model.
- With the new rule, kickers will continue to kick off from their own 35-yard line, while the other 10 members of the kicking team will be positioned at the opposing team's 40-yard line.
- The fresh kickoff rule was designed to promote more returns and reduce injuries on kickoffs, taking inspiration from the XFL's kickoff rule.
- The NFL will implement the new kickoff rule on a one-year basis, with the option to either extend or abolish the rule in 2025, and has also approved other rule changes like moving the trade deadline back by one week to the Tuesday after Week 9.
