The 2025 NFL playoffs are here. Surprising teams like the Carolina Panthers, Chicago Bears, and New England Patriots have made the postseason. Traditional contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens did not qualify.

Denver will get the first-round bye while New England and Jacksonville play on Wild Card Weekend — and neither has an easy matchup. Chargers vs. Patriots will feature two of the NFL’s best young quarterbacks with Drake Maye and Justin Herbert facing off. The Jaguars drew the shortest straw and will have to host Josh Allen.

After one of the wildest seasons in NFL history, the playoffs are finally here. This year's postseason won't have Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs or Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, but there will still be plenty of familiar faces.

The first six games of the 2025 NFL playoffs will be played over the weekend. Here's what to know about the wild-card schedule and matchups.

The 2025 NFL regular season is over, which means the 2026 matchups are set. Here’s who the Ravens will play next season.

After winning the AFC West, the Denver Broncos now know their full schedule of opponents for the 2026 NFL season. In addition to playing their AFC West rivals, the Broncos will face the Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and the same-place finisher from the AFC South at home in 2026.

The eight-game home schedule next season appears particularly rough as it includes five 11-win-plus opponents: The Rams, Seahawks, Chargers, Bills and Jaguars. (With an odd, 17-game schedule, the NFL rotates the 9th home game between AFC and NFC teams. The AFC had 9 home games in 2025; the NFC will get the 9th home game in 2026).

The Buffalo Bills made the playoffs in 2025. We already know their 2026 opponents and what it means for their playoff chances next year.
