NFL Playoffs 2024: Date, TV Schedule & Updated AFC & NFC Brackets
The entire NFL playoff schedule is still out in the air, but many of the matches are set, even with just one-half of the NFL regular season remaining (Sunday Night Football between the Bills and Dolphins).
NFL Playoffs 2024: Date, TV Schedule & Updated AFC & NFC Brackets
All roads lead to Las Vegas, Nevada, for Super Bowl LVIII in 2024. February 11th is Super Bowl 58, but the NFC and AFC teams who advance must first endure a difficult playoff schedule that starts on Saturday, January 13th with Wild Card Weekend games.
The Ravens defeated the 49ers and Dolphins in consecutive weeks, thus going into the playoffs, they are the team to beat. Not only do they have Lamar Jackson, the league MVP favourite. However, Baltimore is also home to one of the most well-rounded squads in all of football; how many sides can boast perhaps the sport’s best offence, defence and special teams?

For the most part of the year, San Francisco has been in the news. The Lions, Cowboys, and Eagles should get a lot of attention. Joe Flacco has made Cleveland an impressive team to be reckoned with. Furthermore, can you really truly rule out the Chiefs with Josh Allen or the Bills with Patrick Mahomes?
From January 13 to 15, there will be a wild-card round consisting of two games on Saturday, three on Sunday, and a final game on Monday night. The next Saturday and Sunday will see two matches each for the divisional round. On January 28, the conference championship games will take place one after the other, preparing for Super Bowl 58 on February 11.
With all of that said, this year’s postseason is worth keeping an eye on. Here’s what you need to know as the NFL prepares for its close-up: the 2024 NFL playoffs.
