The game is played by the two best teams in the NFL, one from the National Football Conference (NFC) and one from the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFC team is chosen by winning the NFC Championship game, while the AFC team is chosen by winning the AFC Championship game. The winner of the Super Bowl is crowned as the NFL champion for that year.

AFC

The American Football Conference (AFC) playoffs are a single-elimination tournament held after the National Football League’s (NFL) regular season to determine the NFL’s American Football Conference champions. Six teams from each of the conference’s two divisions qualified for the playoffs. The four division champions hosted the two wild-card teams in the opening round. In the first round, dubbed the wild-card playoffs or wild-card weekend, the third seed hosts the sixth seed and the fourth seed hosts the fifth seed. The top seed from each division then received a bye in advance to the divisional playoffs, which they hosted against one of their divisional rivals. The winners advanced to the AFC Championship Game, with those two teams squaring off at a predetermined site—usually either home field of one team or a preselected neutral site—to determine who would play in Super Bowl LIII, hosted at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

NFC

The National Football Conference (NFC) is one of the two conferences of the National Football League (NFL), the highest professional level of American football in the world. This conference and its counterpart, the American Football Conference (AFC), currently contain 16 teams each, making up a total of 32 teams in the NFL.

The NFC was created before the 1970 NFL season after the NFL merged with its then-rival, the American Football League (AFL). Since 1970, all NFC teams have played in at least one Super Bowl. The NFC has 27 members that have been to the Super Bowl, while the AFC has 26 members with appearances.

As of 2019, there are 16 teams in the NFC:
