The calendar has flipped to 2026, and now the NFL’s 2025 regular season is over, too, with Sunday’s finales setting the field for the playoffs.
The march toward Super Bowl LX begins next weekend, with six games over three days as 12 of the 14 playoff qualifiers will be in action. Only the top seed in each conference — the Denver Broncos in the AFC and the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC — received a first-round bye. They’ll also have home-field advantage through the postseason until the Super Bowl, which is set for Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers.
The Philadelphia Eagles, who repeated as NFC East Division champions this season, will now begin their quest to repeat as NFL champs as well.
Here’s the postseason schedule, with seeds, dates, times and where to watch.
