How Many Games Are in a Season of the National Football League (NFL)? Do All the Teams Play Each Other Once or Twice?
The National Football League (NFL) regular season consists of 17 games per team, played over an 18-week span. Teams play 16 games within their conference (eight home and eight away games) and one game against a team from another conference. The remaining game is determined by the previous year's standings, with teams facing opponents from a predetermined division.
All teams do not play each other once or twice. The NFL uses a rotating schedule to determine which teams face each other each season. Each team plays every other team in its division twice, once home and once away. They also play 10 games against teams from other divisions within their conference and one game against a team from the other conference.
The NFL's regular season typically begins in early September and ends in late December or early January. The playoffs follow, with the top teams from each conference advancing to a single-elimination tournament culminating in the Super Bowl.
