The NFL regular season is set to kick off on Thursday, September 10th. So, how many games are in the NFL season 2020?
Pre-Season Games
The National Football League (NFL) preseason is the period each year during which NFL teams play several not-for-the-record exhibition games before the regular season.begin.
The NFL preseason generally lasts about four weeks. During this time, each team plays two or four games against other NFL teams, depending on how their head coach schedules it.
Preseason games are important for a number of reasons. They give NFL coaches a chance to see how their team stacks up against other professional teams. They also give players a chance to show off their skills in game situations and earn a spot on the team’s final roster.
The number of preseason games has varied over the years, but since 2012, each team has played four preseason games.
Regular Season Games
The National Football League (NFL) regular season begins on the weekend following the Labor Day holiday (the first Monday in September). From that weekend through the end of the calendar year, each team plays 16 games and has one bye.
Post-Season Games
The number of regular season games has increased from 16 to 17. This will be the first time this has happened in the NFL’s 101-year history. The additional game will be played on the first weekend of the playoffs. The four teams with the best records will each play a game on that Saturday and Sunday, with the two winners advancing to the Conference Championship games the following weekend. The Super Bowl will then be played on February 7, 2021.
