About


NFL
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams. The NFL was founded in 1920 as the American Professional Football Association (APFA) before renaming itself the National Football League in 1922. The NFL is one of the four major North American professional sports leagues and the highest professional level of American football in the world.

The annual NFL competition, known as the NFL season, culminates in the Super Bowl, the league's championship game. The Super Bowl is one of the most-watched television events in the United States, with over 100 million viewers annually. The first Super Bowl was held in 1967 following the merger agreement between the NFL and its then-rival league, the American Football League (AFL).

The NFL season typically begins in early September and ends in late December or early January. Each team plays 16 games during the regular season and has one bye week during which they do not play any games. The top six teams from each conference (the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference) then advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament that leads to the Super Bowl.

The NFL competition is of significant importance due to its popularity and cultural impact. It has a major influence on American sports culture and has also gained a substantial international following. The Super Bowl, in particular, is a major event in American culture, with the day on which it is held often being considered an unofficial national holiday. Additionally, the NFL competition plays a significant role in the American economy, with billions of dollars spent on broadcasting rights, advertising, betting, and merchandise.
