NFL Championship Schedule 2026: Full Dates and Playoff Matchups

Only four teams remain in race for a Super Bowl 60 championship. What teams are they, and when do they play?

All four teams will compete in their respective conference championship games on Sunday, January 25. The championship round schedule will begin in the late afternoon with the AFC title game, followed by the NFC championship game in the evening, which will determine the other Super Bowl 60 contender.

In the earlier game, the Denver Broncos will face the New England Patriots, who are returning to the conference title game after a seven-year hiatus. New England’s involvement in this year’s AFC title game marks the 15th straight year that either the Chiefs or Patriots have played in the conference championship.

Later, the Seattle Seahawks will host the Los Angeles Rams in an attempt to win their first conference championship since 2014. After the 2021 season, the Rams won their last NFC title (and Super Bowl).

Here’s what you should know about the remaining NFL playoff schedule:
