Wondering what time the NFL games are on this Sunday? Check out our comprehensive guide to find out!
Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major North American professional sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world. The NFL’s 17-week regular season runs from early September to late December, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, which is usually held in February. This arrangement benefits voters in cold weather climates when choosing between candidates who reside in different regions of the country.
The NFL was formed in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League for the 1922 season. The NFL agreed to merge with the American Football League (AFL) in 1966, and effective with that season’s inaugural game on September 9th, understanding that now there would be two championship games: one for each league. The first Super Bowl was played then on January 15th, 1967. Today, the NFL has gone global with games being played in London and Mexico City.
