National Football League

The NFL is the professional American football league in the United States. It is one of North America’s four major professional sports leagues and the world’s highest professional level of American football. The NFL consists of 32 teams, divided evenly between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC).

The NFL season includes a preseason, a 17-game regular season (where each team plays 17 games over an 18-week period), and a postseason culminating in the Super Bowl, one of the most-watched sporting events globally. The Super Bowl pits the champions of the NFC and AFC against each other and is known for its high-profile commercials, halftime show, and football game itself.

The NFL is renowned for its significant impact on American culture and its substantial fan base. It has grown into one of the world’s most influential and financially successful professional sports leagues.
