When is the NFL season starting?
The National Football League regular season starts on the weekend following the first Monday of September (i.e., the weekend after Labor Day) and ends in late December or early January. The NFL Playoffs start in early January and end with the Pro Bowl the following weekend. The Super Bowl is usually played on the first Sunday in February.
How long is the NFL season?
The regular NFL season is sixteen games long, with each team playing fourteen opponents. Usually, the season starts the first Thursday or Friday in September and ends on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. However, the actual start and end dates of the season can vary from year to year.
The NFL playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the end of the regular season to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL). The playoffs consist of six teams from each conference: four division winners and two wild-card teams. The tournament culminates in the Super Bowl, which is usually held on the first Sunday in February and is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.
What happens if the NFL season is canceled?
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.
If the NFL season is canceled, it would be a huge disappointment for fans across the country. The NFL is one of the most popular sports leagues in the United States, and its cancellation would have a significant impact on television ratings, ticket sales, and merchandise sales. In addition, it would likely lead to a decrease in viewership for other professional sports leagues.
Conclusion
All in all, the NFL season is kicking off on September 10th. Make sure you catch all the action!
