How Many Weeks Are There In The NFL Season?
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 North American professional sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world, the richest professional sport league by revenue, and the sport league with the most valuable teams.
Introduction
The NFL season is divided into two halves – the first nine weeks are known as the regular season, and the final seven weeks are known as the playoffs. The playoffs are single-elimination, meaning that each team has one chance to win. The Super Bowl is the final game of the season, and is played between the winners of the AFC and NFC championship games.
The Length of the NFL Season
The NFL season typically consists of 17 weeks, including a bye week for each team. The season starts in early September and ends in late December or early January. The Super Bowl is usually played in early February.

Regular Season
The NFL regular season typically runs for 17 weeks, from September to December. Each team plays 16 games over this period, with one bye week during which they do not play.

The NFL regular season is seventeen weeks long, with each team playing sixteen games and having one bye week. The season starts the week after Labor Day (the first Monday in September) and ends seventeen weeks later on New Year’s Eve.

In the first round of the playoffs, the third seed hosts the sixth seed, and the fourth seed hosts the fifth seed in two “wild card” matchups. In addition,
