The History 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’s 17-week regular season runs from early September to late December, with each team playing 16 games and having one bye week. Following the conclusion of the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl, which is usually held on the first Sunday in February and is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.

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 effective from 1970; currently consists of thirty-two teams from both leagues.

As of the 2019 season, there are 32 NFL teams. This includes the teams from the National Football League (NFL) and the American Football League (AFL), which merged in 1970.

The NFL is divided into two conferences, the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is then divided into four divisions, and each division has four teams. This makes for a total of 16 teams in each conference.

Within each division, every team plays every other team in its division twice during the regular season, once at its home stadium and once at the home stadium of its division rival. This gives each team a total of 16 regular-season games.

At the end of the regular season, the team with the best record in each division is crowned division champion and earns a spot in the playoffs. In total, six teams from each conference make the playoffs. The playoffs consist of four rounds: wild-card weekend, divisional playoff weekend, conference championship weekend, and finally Super Bowl Sunday

The NFL has not officially announced any plans to expand the league, but that does not mean it will not happen. As recently as 2016, Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league was open to expanding by two teams, which would bring the total number of NFL teams to 34.

There are several cities that have been rumored as potential expansion markets, including Los Angeles, London, Toronto, and San Antonio. However, no concrete plans have been made and it is unknown when or if the NFL will decide to expand.

In the meantime, there are 32 teams in the league and each team plays 16 regular season games. The playoffs consist of six teams from each conference (NFC and AFC) with the top two seeds receiving a first-round bye. The playoffs culminate with the Super Bowl, which is the biggest sporting event in the United States.
