What are the NFL playoffs?

What is the NFL?

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).

What is the playoffs?

The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the National Football League (NFL)’s regular season to determine the league’s champion. Six teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the playoffs based on regular season records, and a tie-breaking system is used to seed the teams within their conference. This tournament culminates in the Super Bowl, which matches the two conference champions and is held annually at a predetermined site.

The NFL playoffs are not like other playoff systems used in professional sports where a team has to win a best-of-seven series in order to advance; instead, each game stands on its own and is an elimination game. The team that wins moves on to the next round while the losing team is eliminated from contention.

When is the NFL regular season?

The National Football League (NFL) regular season begins on the weekend following Labor Day of each calendar year.

Most weeks feature one game on Thursday night, two games on Sunday night and 13 games on Sunday afternoon.

When do the playoffs start?

The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the regular season to determine the NFL champion. From 1933 to 1966, the NFL postseason generally only consisted of the NFL Championship Game, pitting the league’s two division winners (barring any one-game playoff matches that needed to be held to break ties in the division standings). Starting in 1967, four teams were given playoff berths: the three division winners, and a fourth team (the “wild card”) that would be the best non-division winner.

There have been various changes throughout the years regarding how many teams make it to the playoffs and how they are seeded, but as of 2019, there are a total of 12 teams that make it to the playoffs each year: six from each conference. The four division winners in each conference are seeded 1-4 based on their regular season record, with the top seed receiving a bye week and home-field advantage; while the remaining two teams (the “wild cards”) are seeded 5-6 and must play each other in a Wild Card Round game. The winners of those games then proceed on to play the 1 and 2 seeds in their respective conferences in the Divisional Round. Finally, the four remaining teams compete in each conference’s respective Championship game, with those winners advancing to Super Bowl LIV to decide who will be crowned NFL champion for that season.
