The NFL Playoff Schedule is the schedule for the playoffs of the National Football League (NFL). The playoffs begin with the Wild Card round, followed by the Divisional round, the Conference championships, and conclude with the Super Bowl, the league's championship game.
The playoff schedule is determined by the NFL's scheduling formula, with dates and times for each round announced after the conclusion of the regular season. The teams that advance through the playoffs will compete for the Vince Lombardi Trophy, the ultimate prize in professional football. The schedule is often subject to change due to flex scheduling and other factors, but it typically follows a set pattern each year.
