    About National Football League

    What the competition is, where the season stands, and what we publish for it. Assembled from the same rows the tables above render, so the two cannot disagree.

    National Football League (NFL) is a football league of 32 clubs playing the 2026 season. The league is split into the American Football Conference and National Football Conference, eight divisions in all. A full NFL season is 17 games for each club, running from September to February. 14 of the 32 clubs reach the playoffs, so a 2026 season is as much about surviving the schedule as winning any one night of it. The divisions are AFC East, AFC North, AFC South, AFC West, NFC East, NFC North, NFC South, and NFC West. Every club's schedule, roster and results live on its own page, and the standings on this one link straight to them.

    The Chiefs hold the best record in the league at 4-0. Leading the other divisions: the Bills in the AFC East at 3-1, the Ravens in the AFC North at 4-1, the Jaguars in the AFC South at 4-1, the Giants in the NFC East at 3-1, the Vikings in the NFC North at 5-0, the Panthers in the NFC South at 2-2, and the 49ers in the NFC West at 5-0. The tightest race is the AFC East, where the Bills lead the Patriots by half a game at 3-1 to 3-2.

    In the most recent round of games on October 11, Baltimore Ravens beat Atlanta Falcons 30-23, San Francisco 49ers beat Seattle Seahawks 32-29, and Detroit Lions beat Arizona Cardinals 45-21. Next up, Buffalo Bills visit Los Angeles Rams on October 12, Seattle Seahawks visit Denver Broncos on October 15, and Houston Texans visit Jacksonville Jaguars on October 18.

    Coverage runs on every NFL game rather than a selection: a preview before kickoff with the line and the matchup keys, a recap after it with the final, the box score and the standouts, plus a weekly rundown of where the 2026 season stands and breaking NFL news as it lands. Follow any club above and both land in your inbox, free.
