How Many Games In The NFL Season?
The National Football League (NFL) regular season typically runs from late September to early December, with each team playing 16 games. However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 NFL season will be shortened to 17 games. This means that each team will play one additional regular season game against a division rival.
How The NFL Season Works
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league. The NFL regular season usually consists of 16 games, which are played over 17 weeks. However, the 2021 NFL season will consist of 17 games played over 18 weeks.
The Regular Season
The National Football League (NFL) regular season begins on the weekend following the Labor Day holiday (i.e., the first Sunday in September). From that point on, there are 16 NFL weeks, which are divided into two halves.
During the first half of the NFL season, each team plays all of the other teams in its own division twice, once at home and once away. So, if there are four teams in a division, each team plays six games within its division. In addition to these games, each team also plays four out-of-division games during the first half of the season. These games are against teams from another division within its own conference. For example, if a team is in the NFC East division, it will play all four NFC West teams during the first half of the season.
So, during the first eight weeks of the NFL season (Weeks 1-8), each team plays a total of 10 games: six games against teams in its own division and four games against teams in another division within its conference.
The Playoffs
The NFL playoff system is a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Each year, 12 teams qualify for the playoffs. These teams are seeded according to their win-loss records, with the team with the best record receiving the #1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The playoffs are structured so that, as in most sports tournaments, the higher-seeded teams would have to play lower-seeded teams until only one team remains.
The first round of the playoffs is known as the Wild Card Round. In this round, four teams from each conference (the two conferences with the best records and two “wild card” teams with records good enough to make the playoffs but not good enough to earn a top seed) play each other. The winners of these games advance to the next round, known as the Divisional Round.
In the Divisional Round, the four division winners from each conference (each division being made up of four teams) play each other. The winners of these games advance to their respective conference’s championship game, known as the Conference Championship.
Finally, in the last round of the NFL playoffs, known as Super Bowl Sunday, the champions from each conference face off in a winner-takes-all game to decide who will be crowned NFL champion for that season.
