The National Football League season typically consists of seventeen weeks, split evenly between the two halves of the calendar year. In the first half, each team plays sixteen games, eight of which are at home and eight away. In the second half, each team plays fourteen games, six of which are at home and eight away. The seventeen-week regular season is followed by a single-elimination playoff tournament leading to the Super Bowl, the league’s championship game.
Regular Season
The NFL regular season consists of 17 weeks, where each team plays 16 games and has one bye week.

Finally, the grandest stage of them all, Super Bowl LV will be held on Sunday, February 7 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida.
