In the first round, the 1 seed hosts the 6 seed, the 2 seed hosts the 5 seed, the 3 seed hosts the 4 seed, and the 4 seed hosts the 3 seed. In the second round, known as the divisional round,
the 1 seed hosts the lowest remaining seed,

The tournament was first held in 1967, when the league expanded from 15 teams to 16, creating four divisions and four playoff teams. The NFL Playoffs have expanded numerous times since then, most recently in 2020, when the league added a seventh playoff team in each conference.
The NFL Playoffs are currently structured as follows:
-Six teams from each conference qualify for the playoffs: the four division winners and two wild card teams.
-The two wild card teams in each conference play each other in the Wild Card round. The winner of each game advances to the Divisional round, where they play one of the four division winners.
-The two remaining teams in each conference then play each other in the Conference Championship game, with the winner of each game advancing to the Super Bowl.
-The Super Bowl is played between the two conference champions and determines who will be crowned NFL champion for that year.

The NFL playoffs are typically held in January, with the exact date varying each year. The playoffs begin with Wild Card Weekend, followed by the Divisional Round, Conference Championships, and finally the Super Bowl.
