Introduction
The National Football League (NFL) is the largest professional American football league, consisting of 32 teams. The season starts in September and ends in January or February, with each team playing 16 games. The NFL playoffs culminate in the Super Bowl, the biggest annual sporting event in the United States.
History of the NFL
The history of the National Football League (NFL) began in 1920 with the joining of two rival professional football leagues, the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and the National Football League (NFL). The APFA was founded in 1913, while the NFL, which was originally known as the American Professional Football Association, was formed in 1920. In 1922, the two leagues merged to form the NFL.
In its early years, the NFL was a loosely organized collection of teams that often changed cities or merged with other teams. In 1933, however, the NFL established itself as a major professional sports league with a set schedule of games, standardized rules, and a playoff system to determine its champion. The first NFL championship game was played in 1933 between the Chicago Bears and New York Giants.
The NFL continued to grow in popularity throughout the 1930s and 1940s. In 1958, the league added a second tier of teams, called the American Football League (AFL). The AFL provided stiff competition for the NFL and helped to increase interest in professional football. In 1960, the two leagues agreed to merge into one league with two divisions: the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC). This merger created what is now known as the Super Bowl, which is played each year between the champions of each conference.
Today, the NFL is one of America’s most popular sports leagues. It is made up of 32 teams divided equally between the NFC and AFC. Each team plays 16 regular season games followed by a playoffs system that culminates in the Super Bowl.
Current Teams
As of the 2019 season, there are 32 teams in the National Football League (NFL). Each team plays a 16-game regular season schedule, with one bye week for each team. After the regular season, six teams from each conference (four division winners and two wild card teams) advance to the playoffs. The playoffs culminate in the Super Bowl, which is played between the champions of the NFC and AFC.
