After eighteen weeks of wild NFL matchups, the 2022-2023 regular season has ended, meaning it’s time for the long-awaited playoffs.
There are two conferences in the NFL – the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). The NFL postseason includes seven teams from each conference for a total of 14 teams, including four division winners in each conference and three wild cards. The adjustment from a 12 to 14-team playoff began before the 2020 season and allows one extra wild-card game to take place between the No. 2 and No.7 seeds.
The NFL playoffs feature two brackets with seven teams on each side. The bracket is strategically formulated to lead into the Super Bowl. There are six wildcard games, four divisional and two conference championship games that contribute to determining which teams will face off at the Super Bowl for the championship title.
Here’s a breakdown of the 2023 NFL playoff schedule:
Wild Card Round: January 14th – January 16th, 2023
Divisional Round: January 21st and January 22nd, 2023
Conference Championships: January 29th, 2023
Super Bowl: February 12th, 2023
With Wild Card Weekend concluded, the divisional round is set!
The Eagles and Chiefs will face off for the 2022-2023 Super Bowl. The Super Bowl will take place on February 12th, 2023 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ. The game will kick off at 6:30 PM ET and will be on Fox. For more information, check out our guide to Super Bowl LVII.

NFL playoff game tickets range in price, but on average, are around $270.00. A number of factors determine the price of NFL playoff game tickets, including the location of the game, the teams playing the game, and the weather.
For example, championship games, whether they be AFC or NFC, are likely to be more expensive than Wild Card round games.
The home team’s season ticket holders receive the majority of NFL Playoff tickets, much like the regular season. The exception, of course, being the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, for football fanatics that are not season ticket holders, this makes attending the more exciting games of the season more challenging.
