The National Football League is composed of 32 teams from different regions and cities in the United States. It is divided into the American Football Federation (AFC) and the National Football Federation (NFC). Each league consists of four divisions, east, west, south and north, and each division has four teams. The annual competition is divided into three time periods: Preseason, Regular Season and Playoff. The preseason has four weeks as a warm-up for the regular season.

The regular season starts every year in the first week after Labor Day in the United States at the beginning of September. Each team plays 16 games (usually on Thursday, Sunday or Monday) during the 17-week period from September to December.

After the regular season is over, each league will have seven teams entering the playoffs, the four champions in each division, and the three "Wild Card" teams with the best records among the remaining teams.

After three rounds of eliminations, the respective champions of the two federations will meet in the Super Bowl on a pre-determined stadium to compete for the championship cup-the Vince Lombardi Trophy. One week after the Super Bowl ends, the player of the year selected by the two federations will participate in the Pro Bowl, a star game held in Hawaii.
