How many teams are in the NFL playoffs?
There are 14 playoff teams total — seven from the AFC and seven from the NFC. Each conference includes four division winners (seeds 1-4) and three wild card teams (seeds 5-7). The number one seeds in each conference (Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks) receive first-round byes and automatically advance to the Divisional Round.
What is the playoff bracket format?
The playoffs have four rounds:
- Wild Card Round (6 games): Seeds 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, and 4 vs 5 in each conference
- Divisional Round (4 games): Wild Card winners face the top seeds
- Conference Championships (2 games): AFC and NFC title games
- Super Bowl LX (1 game): AFC Champion vs NFC Champion at Levi’s Stadium
Home field advantage goes to the higher seed throughout the playoffs.

Yes. The NFL Playoffs Predictor works perfectly on phones, tablets, and desktop computers. The responsive design automatically adjusts to your screen size. Make picks, advance teams through rounds, and predict your Super Bowl champion on any device.

How does home field advantage work in the playoffs?
Home field advantage is determined by playoff seeding. The higher-seeded team hosts each game through the Conference Championships. In the Super Bowl, the game is played at a neutral site (Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California) regardless of which teams advance.
Can I share my playoff predictions?
Yes. After completing your bracket, click the “Show Championship Path” button to see all your picks organized by round. You can screenshot this summary to share on social media or with friends. Compare predictions and see whose bracket comes closest to the actual results!
What teams have first-round byes?
The AFC #1 seed Denver Broncos (14-3) and NFC #1 seed Seattle Seahawks (14-3) both have first-round byes. They automatically advance to the Divisional Round and will play the lowest-remaining seed from the Wild Card Round winners.
When does Super Bowl LX take place?
Super Bowl LX is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Use the predictor to simulate which two teams will meet for the championship and pick your Super Bowl LX champion!
