We followed the 2025 NFL season's playoff picture and several tight races in Week 18 -- including for the final postseason spots.

Here is an updated look at the standings, bracket and matchups for the 2026 NFL playoffs for both the AFC and NFC.

Fourteen teams, seven in each conference, make the postseason. The number of playoff teams has varied from as few as two teams (from 1933 to 1966) to as many as 16 teams (in 1982). The NFL expanded from 12 to 14 playoff teams in 2020.

After Sunday's Week 18 action, we’ll have no more NFL regular season. The road to Super Bowl 60 will truly begin with the playoff teams officially locked in and ready to play. If you’re wondering what the playoff picture looks like with one day left to be played, you’ve come to the right place.

For the divisional round of the playoffs, CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN will all probably get one game apiece, while CBS and Fox will then get a game each for the conference championship round. Finally, NBC will close the season with the Super Bowl broadcast in February.
