When Does the NFL Season End?
Contents
The NFL season is coming to an end, and we’ve got all the information you need to know about when it ends and who’s going to be playing in the playoffs.
The NFL regular season typically ends in late December
The NFL regular season typically ends in late December, with the playoffs beginning in early January. The exact dates depend on the year, but the postseason usually runs through early February, culminating in the Super Bowl.
The NFL playoffs typically start in early January
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the regular season to determine the NFL champion. From 1933 to 1966, the NFL postseason generally only consisted of the NFL Championship Game, pitting the league’s two division winners (since 1967, four teams have qualified for the playoffs in each conference). The playoff structure now consists of six total rounds including the Wild Card round, Divisional round, Conference Championships, and Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl is typically played in early February
The National Football League (NFL) regular season usually begins in early September and ends in early January. But, because the NFL is a professional sports league, its calendar does not line up perfectly with that of the traditional academic year. So, when does the NFL season actually end?
The answer to that question is the Super Bowl, which is typically played in early February. The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the NFL, pitting the league’s two best teams against each other. The game is usually played on a Sunday afternoon, and the winner is crowned the champion of the NFL for that year.
So, while the NFL season technically ends with the Super Bowl, there are still a few weeks of post-season play after that. The playoffs begin in late January and consist of four rounds of single-elimination games. The two teams that make it to the final round (the Conference Championships) play each other, with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl.
So, while the NFL season may technically end with the Super Bowl, there are still a few weeks of post-season play after that. So, if you’re a fan of pro football, be sure to keep an eye on your team’s progress through late January and February!
The NFL offseason typically starts in late February
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.
