How the NFL Is Organized

The league has two conferences, the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference has four divisions, East, North, South and West, with four teams in each.

Every team plays 17 regular-season games: six against its own division (home and away against each rival), four against one division from its own conference, four against one division from the other conference, and three more set by where it finished last season.

Seven teams from each conference reach the playoffs: the four division winners, seeded 1 to 4, and three wild cards, seeded 5 to 7. Only the 1 seed gets a first-round bye. The 2027 playoffs start on January 16 and end with Super Bowl LXI on February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium.
