When do the NFL playoffs start?

The National Football League (NFL) playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held at the end of the regular season to determine the champion of the NFL. The tournament culminates in the Super Bowl, which is also known as the biggest sporting event in the world.

The NFL playoffs are composed of six teams from each conference: four division winners and two wild card teams. The four division winners are seeded 1-4 based on their won-loss record, with the top seed getting home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The two wild card teams are seeded 5-6 and must play on the road during Wild Card weekend.

The playoff format consists of three rounds: Wild Card weekend, Divisional Playoffs, and Conference Championships. Wild Card weekend is when the 5-6 seeds play each other in a single-elimination game, with the winner advancing to play a division winner in the Divisional Playoffs. The Divisional Playoffs consist of four games, two from each conference, where each conference’s top two seeds get a bye and automatically advance to this round. The Conference Championships are when each conference’s winner from the previous round plays each other in a single-elimination game to determine that conference’s representative in the Super Bowl.

How many NFL teams make the playoffs?

Each NFL season consists of 256 regular season games, which are typically spread out over a 17-week period from September to December. After the regular season ends, the top 12 teams in each conference (24 total) qualify for the playoffs. The playoffs are a single-elimination tournament that culminates with the conference championship games, followed by the Super Bowl.
