How do the NFL play-offs work?

They are 14 teams in the play-offs, with seven teams qualifying from the American Football Conference (AFC) and seven from the National Football Conference (NFC).

Each conference is kept apart during 12 knockout games over three weeks to decide which team represents their conference in the Super Bowl – the NFL’s championship game.

Teams are seeded from one to seven and those who finished top of each conference during the 17-game regular season automatically qualify for the Divisional Round – the second week of the play-offs.

This season, the Denver Broncos earned the AFC’s top seed and the Seattle Seahawks topped the NFC.

The other 12 teams enter from the first round, known as Wildcard Weekend, and the highest remaining seeds in each round have home-field advantage.

In the wildcard round, the teams ranked second in each conference play the seventh seed, third plays sixth and fourth faces fifth.

The winners of those six games will join the top seeds in the Divisional Round, where the top seed faces the lowest-ranked team, and the two other teams face each other.

The winners of those four games reach the Conference Championships – effectively the Super Bowl semi-finals – and a chance to feature in Super Bowl 60.
