Facebook will now let pages schedule a Live broadcast up to a week in advance.  This feature is only applies to Pages, not verified users.

Live video is great and all, but it’s not very useful if most of your audience doesn’t know when you’re planning on streaming. Facebook is addressing that problem by introducing official scheduling feature for Verified pages; users can be notified about videos up to a week in advance.

When you schedule a live video, Facebook will create an announcement post for your followers’ feed with a time for the broadcast. People can then opt in to receive a notification to remind them about the stream shortly before it begins.

"Once you've scheduled a live video, you will be able to share a link to the broadcast or embed it in other places, such as websites or blogs," adds Facebook's Peter Roybal, Product Manager, and Brian Lin, Software Engineer in a blog post.
