How the NFL Season Works
NFL teams are divided into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference is made up of four divisions: East, West, North, and South.
NFL Regular Season
The National Football League (NFL) regular season typically begins on the week following Labor Day in early September and ends in late December or early January. During the regular season, each team plays 16 games over a 17-week period, meaning that there is one bye week for each team. There are typically between four and six teams that have a bye in any given week.
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the regular season. The six teams with the best records from each conference (the NFC and AFC) qualify for the playoffs. The four division winners from each conference are seeded first through fourth based on their won-loss record, with the remaining two teams from each conference seeded fifth and sixth. The playoffs consists of three rounds: the Wild Card round, Divisional round, and Conference Championship round. The Super Bowl, which is the final game of the NFL season, is typically held in early February.
NFL Playoffs
The NFL postseason is a single-elimination tournament held after the conclusion of the National Football League (NFL) regular season to determine the NFL champion. Six teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the playoffs based on regular season records, and a tie-breaking procedure exists in the case of equal records. The tournament culminates in the Super Bowl, the league’s championship game.
