When Are the Next NFL Games?
Wondering when the next NFL game is? Check out this blog post for a full schedule of the upcoming NFL games.
Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) regular season typically runs from September to December, with each team playing 16 games. The playoffs then follow in January, leading up to the Super Bowl, which is typically played in February. But the NFL schedule is not always set in stone. Here are a few things to keep in mind when trying to figure out when the next NFL game is.
The first thing to keep in mind is that the NFL schedule is released in April. This means that if you’re looking for information on when the next NFL game is before April, you won’t be able to find it. The second thing to keep in mind is that the NFL schedule is subject to change. This can be for a variety of reasons, such as weather, team performance, or even just because the NFL decides to switch things up. So if you’re looking for information on when the next NFL game is, it’s best to check back closer to the date of the game itself.
Finally, it’s worth noting that there are four different types of NFL games: preseason games, regular season games, playoff games, and the Super Bowl. Preseason games are typically played in August, and they don’t really count for anything – they’re just used as a way for teams to get ready for the regular season. Regular season games are what most people think of when they think of the NFL – these are the games that count towards a team’s record, and which ultimately decide who makes the playoffs. Playoff games are played between the best teams in each conference at the end of the regular season, and they culminate in the Super Bowl – which is typically considered to be one of the biggest sporting events of any given year.
Upcoming Games
The next NFL game is the Super Bowl, which is on February 3, 2019. The game will be played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
Regular Season
The National Football League (NFL) regular season begins on the weekend following the last Monday of September (i.e., the weekend after Labor Day) and ends in late December or early January. After a four-week preseason, during which each team plays four exhibition games, the regular season kicks off on the Thursday night following Labor Day with the annual Kickoff Game, which features the previous season’s Super Bowl champions hosting a game against a selected opponent.
During the seventeen weeks of the regular season (each team has sixteen games, plus one bye week), each team plays sixteen opponents in a schedule that rotates each year. With rare exceptions, each team plays one game against every other team in its own division, two games against most teams in a different division within its own conference, and one game against a team from the other conference. Traditionally, most NFL teams play their home games on Sundays, although some play on Monday nights and some teams play their home games on Thursdays during Thanksgiving weekend.
Playoffs
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the regular season to determine the NFL champion. Prior to the 1970 AFL-NFL merger, the two leagues had separate playoff systems; since the merger, all teams have been eligible for the NFL playoffs, including those from the former AFL. Currently, only four teams from each conference (the two Division winners and two Wild Card qualifiers) advance to the playoffs.
The four Divisional winners proceed to the Conference Championship games, hosted by the higher seed. The winners of those games then advance to the Super Bowl, which is usually held at a neutral site that is predetermined years in advance.
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 played by the winning teams from the NFC (National Football Conference) and AFC (American Football Conference). The first Super Bowl was played in 1967.
The most recent Super Bowl was Super Bowl LIII, which was played on February 3, 2019. The New England Patriots won that game, defeating the Los Angeles Rams 13-3.
