How the NFL standings 2026 are ranked
The NFL standings 2026 rank all 32 teams by winning percentage. A tie counts as half a win, so a 10-6-1 record sits above 10-7. The division table decides the eight division champions.
The conference table decides the seven playoff seeds in the AFC and the NFC. The league table of all 32 sets the draft order. GB is games behind the division leader.
| Teams | 32 in two conferences, eight divisions of four |
|---|---|
| Regular season | 17 games per team over 18 weeks, one bye each; Week 18 is January 9 and 10, 2027 |
| Playoffs | 14 teams: four division winners (seeds 1-4) and three wild cards (5-7) per conference |
| Byes | Only the No. 1 seed in each conference skips Wild Card weekend |
| Super Bowl LXI | February 14, 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood |
NFL playoff picture: seeds and the playoff line
Division winners take seeds 1 to 4 by record, even when a wild card has a better record. The next three records in the conference take seeds 5 to 7. The dashed line in the Conference view is the cut-off.
On Wild Card weekend, January 16 to 18, 2027, the No. 1 seed rests and the higher seed hosts. The 7 seed visits the 2, the 6 visits the 3 and the 5 visits the 4. The NFL playoff picture page carries the live seeds, clinch tags and the bracket.
NFL tiebreakers in brief
Tied records are split by a fixed list, and the first step that separates the teams ends it. Head-to-head comes first, then division record for teams in the same division, then common games, conference record, strength of victory and strength of schedule.
Wild card ties between different divisions use head-to-head only when the teams have met. Every current tie and how it breaks is on the NFL tiebreakers page.
