The Pre-Season and Regular Season
The National Football League (NFL) season typically starts in early September and ends in late December or early January. There are four pre-season games and sixteen regular season games for each team. The pre-season games are typically played in August, and the regular season games are played from September through December. The NFL playoffs begin in January, and the Super Bowl is usually played in February.
The Playoffs
The first game of the NFL playoffs is always the wild card game. The wild card game is played between the two teams with the best record who did not win their division. The winner of this game goes on to play the team with the best record in the divisional round.
The other three games in the NFL playoffs are played between division winners. In the conference championships, the winners of each divisional round game play each other to determine who will go to the Super Bowl.
The time of the first NFL playoff game changes every year, depending on what day it falls on and which teams are playing. Typically, the first game is played on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, but it could be played on a Friday or Saturday night if there are two games on one day. The time of the first NFL playoff game will be announced when the NFL playoff schedule is released in December.
The Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is the biggest and most important American football game of the year. It is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL). The game is usually played on the first Sunday in February and determines the champion of the NFL for that year.
