When is the NFL’s opening day?
The National Football League’s (NFL) opening day is the annual kickoff game of the NFL regular season. The game is typically attended by a large number of fans and is considered one of the most important dates on the NFL calendar. The opening day game is usually scheduled for the Thursday following Labor Day, but it can occasionally be held on a Wednesday or a Friday.
The NFL’s opening day has been held on a Thursday every year since 2002, with the exception of 2006, when it was held on a Wednesday due to the scheduling conflict caused by Hurricane Katrina. The opening day game is usually played at a neutral site, but it has occasionally been played at the home stadium of one of the participating teams.
The first NFL regular season game was played on October 3, 1920, between the Decatur Staleys and the Chicago Cardinals. The Staleys won that game 7-6, and went on to win the first ever NFL Championship.

What are the NFL’s playoffs?
The National Football League (NFL) playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Six teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the playoffs. The four division winners and two wild card teams (the two best teams with records that did not win their divisions) from each conference advance to the playoffs. The playoffs are not held in a particular location; rather, they rotate among a pre-selected set of cities, with four or five sites typically used every year.
In the current NFL playoff system, as explained above, there are six qualifiers from each conference: the four division winners and two wild card teams. These teams are seeded according to their regular-season records, with the division winners occupying the first and second seeds and the wild card teams occupying the third and fourth seeds. The top seed in each conference hosts the lowest seed in that conference’s playoff bracket in the first round of playoffs (the wild card round), while the second and third seeds host the other remaining playoff games in their respective conferences (the divisional round). In addition, he fourth seed in each conference hosts a game in the first round of playoffs against one of either Conference’s fifth or sixth seed (or whichever team has a better record if both Conference’s fifth and sixth seeds have identical records). The winners of these games then advance to play another team in their respective conference at one of either Conference’s top three seeds’ home field (or whichever team has a better record if both Conference’s top three seeds have identical records) during either Conference’s Championship game (or whichever game is being played if both Conference Championship games have identical records). Lastly, at some point during this process, if there is still more than one team remaining from each conference, those teams will play against each other in what is known as either Conference’s Super Bowl game to determine which team is ultimately crowned that NFL season’s champion.
What is the Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl is the biggest and most important American football game of the year. It is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is played between the winner of the NFL’s American Football Conference (AFC) and the winner of the National Football Conference (NFC). The winner of the Super Bowl is crowned the NFL champion.
