The National Football League (NFL) is the premier professional football league in the United States. It consists of 32 teams divided into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each conference has four divisions based on geography.
The NFL season includes 17 regular-season games per team, followed by playoffs. The top teams from each division and a few wildcard teams qualify for the postseason. The playoffs culminate in the Super Bowl, one of the biggest sporting events in the world.
Each team has a roster of around 53 players, with coaches, analysts, and medical staff working behind the scenes. Teams like the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, and Green Bay Packers have large fan bases and rich histories.
The NFL also emphasizes parity, allowing weaker teams to rebuild through the draft and free agency. This competitive balance keeps fans engaged and gives every team hope of success each season.
