League format : NFL 2026/2027
Teams are divided into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). As of 2002, each conference is further divided into 4 divisions. Each team play 16 games during regular season. Seven teams from each of the league's two conferences will qualify for the NFL Playoffs. Each of the 4 division winners is seeded 1-4 based on their records. The three wildcard teams (non-division champions with the conference's best winning percentages) are seeded 5th, 6th and 7th.
In the first round of the playoffs (Wild Card Playoffs), the No. 2 seeds will host 7s, the No. 3 seeds will host 6s and the No. 4 seeds will host 5s. In the second round (Divisional Playoff), the top seed hosts the lowest-seeded surviving seed from the first round, and the other two winners from the wild-card round play each other with the higher seed having home-field advantage. The two surviving teams from the Divisional Playoff games meet in Conference Championship games, with the winners of those contests going on to face one another in the Super Bowl.
Each round of the playoffs is "re-seeded" - the highest surviving seed always hosts the lowest surviving seed, the second-highest hosts the second-lowest, etc.
