The National Football League playoffs for the 2025 season will begin on January 10, 2026, and will conclude with Super Bowl LX on February 8 at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This will be the first postseason since 2014 not to feature the Kansas City Chiefs. Additionally, it marks the first postseason since 1998 not to feature Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, or Patrick Mahomes. It is also the first postseason since 2016 to not feature either number 1 seed from the previous season.

The 2025 playoffs are scheduled to begin with the Wild Card Round from January 10–12, 2026, with three games played in each conference. In the Divisional round, scheduled for January 17–18, the top seed in the conference will play the lowest remaining seed and the other two remaining teams will play each other. The winners of those games advance to the Conference Championship games scheduled for January 25. Super Bowl LX is scheduled for February 8 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. As of December 25, 2025 (Week 17, Thursday games)[update], the following teams have qualified for the playoffs: With two weeks left in the NFL season, the playoff field is mostly set: Ten teams have clinched playoff berths and four more are still available.

Here’s how the NFL playoff picture looks heading into Week 17: 1. Broncos (12-3) If they win out, they’re the No. 1 seed in the AFC. 2. Patriots (12-3) Would lose the common-games tiebreaker to the Broncos.

3. Jaguars (11-4) The clear favorites in the AFC South. 4. Steelers (9-6) In the driver’s seat in the AFC North. 🏈 5 AFC playoff spots available • 2 NFC playoff spots available 14 teams make the NFL playoffs each season – 7 from the AFC and 7 from the NFC.

Each conference’s playoff bracket includes four division winners (seeded 1-4) and three wild card teams (seeded 5-7). The top seed in each conference earns a first-round bye. Playoff seeding is determined by win-loss record, with tiebreakers applied when necessary. The four division winners are seeded 1-4 based on their records, regardless of wild card team records. Seeds 5-7 go to the three non-division winners with the best records. Tiebreakers include head-to-head results, division record, common games, conference record, and strength of victory.

“In The Hunt” refers to the seven teams in each conference that currently hold playoff positions. If the regular season ended today, these teams would qualify for the postseason. However, with games remaining, these positions can change weekly based on game results and tiebreakers. “On The Bubble” describes teams currently outside the playoff picture but still mathematically alive for a postseason berth. These teams (typically seeds 8-16) need to win games and have other results fall their way to climb into a playoff spot before the regular season ends. The top-scoring 14 teams of 32 qualified for the playoffs from two AFC and NFC conferences to compete in the postseason round.

The No. 1 seed from each AFC and NFC conference earned the divisional playoff with home-field advantage and the rest of the 12 non-division winners wild card teams host based on their overall won-lost-tied record are...
