The 69-year-old former NFL player is likely to be up for parole this summer.
A spokesperson for the Nevada Department of Corrections says Oct. 1 is his eligibility date. The hearing will be scheduled sometime in the three months prior to that date.
If he is not granted parole, Simpson will remain in prison until 2022.
Simpson is currently serving a sentence for armed robbery at the Lovelock Correctional Center.
