Introduction

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. NFL games are divided into four quarters, each 15 minutes long. There are a total of 60 minutes in an NFL game. NFL games are usually played on Sunday afternoons. However, some games are played on Monday nights, Thursday nights, and Saturday nights.

The NFL’s Regular Season Schedule

The NFL regular season starts on Thursday, September 10th and ends on Sunday, December 29th. This season, there are a total of 256 games. All games will be broadcast on one of the following networks: CBS, FOX, NBC, or ESPN.

How the NFL Season Is Structured

The NFL regular season typically begins in early September and runs through late December. Each team plays 16 games over a 17-week period, with one bye week for each team. The regular season schedule is typically released in April.

During the regular season, teams are divided into two conferences – the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into four divisions – North, South, East, and West.

In each division, every team plays every other team twice – once at home and once away. In addition, each team plays two additional games against teams from another division within their conference. These games are referred to as “divisional” games. Finally, each team plays one game against a team from the other conference. These games are referred to as “interconference” or “cross-conference” games.

The NFL playoffs begin in late December with four teams from each conference qualifying for the postseason. The two teams with the best record in each conference earn a first-round bye and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. The remaining teams are seeded based on their record, with the top seed playing the lowest seed remaining in their conference, and so on.

The playoffs culminate with the Super Bowl, which is played between the NFC and AFC champions in early February.

When Do the NFL’s Regular Season Games Start and End?

The NFL regular season typically starts the week after Labor Day and ends the week after Christmas. The 2020 regular season is scheduled to begin on Thursday, September 10 and is scheduled to end on Sunday, January 3, 2021. During the regular season, each team plays 16 games, which are usually played over a 17-week period from September to December.

The NFL typically has a bye week during each team’s regular season schedule, giving each team one week off during the 17-week period. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 NFL regular season schedule will have no bye weeks. Instead, each team will play all 16 of its games during a 17-week period from September to January 2021.

The NFL’s Playoff Schedule

American Football Conference and National Football Conference teams compete in the playoffs to determine who will represent each conference in the Super Bowl.
