How the NFL Playoff Schedule Works

The NFL playoffs begin in mid-January following the conclusion of the regular season in early January. Seven teams from each conference qualify — three division winners plus four Wild Card teams. The top seed in each conference receives a first-round bye. The remaining teams play in the Wild Card round, with winners advancing to the Divisional round and then the Conference Championship games, which produce the Super Bowl participants.

There is a mandatory bye week between the Conference Championships and the Super Bowl, giving both teams two weeks to prepare. This extended preparation period is why Super Bowl week begins the Monday after the conference championships.
