While we don’t have an exact date yet, the NFL season is set to start sometime in September. Here’s everything we know so far.
When does the NFL season start?
Although the National Football League (NFL) schedule is released in the spring, the actual season does not start until September.
Each season consists of 256 regular season games, which are typically played over 17 weeks from September to December. The regular season is then followed by the playoffs, which culminate in the Super Bowl—the biggest and most watched sporting event in the United States.
The NFL season usually starts on the Thursday following Labor Day, which falls on the first Monday in September. However, in some years it may begin on a Wednesday or a Thursday due to the Labor Day holiday.
The NFL schedule is usually released sometime in April or May, and tickets for most games go on sale at that time. However, some teams do release their schedules earlier, and tickets for those games usually become available earlier as well.
How many games are in the NFL season?
The NFL season typically starts in September and runs through December, with the playoffs beginning in January. Each team plays 16 regular season games, with four teams playing an additional game in the preseason.
What teams are in the NFL?
The NFL is made up of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC).
What are the rules of 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). The NFL is one of the four major professional sports leagues in North America, and the highest professional level of American football in the world.
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 the first Super Bowl was held at the end of that season; the merger was completed in 1970. Today, the NFL has the highest average attendance (67,591) of any professional sports league in the world and is the most popular sports league in the United States. The Super Bowl is among the biggest club sporting events in the world and individual Super Bowl games account for many of television’s most-watched broadcasts.
