National Football League
Zawodowa liga futbolu amerykańskiego. Powstała w 1920 jako American Professional Football Association. Obecna nazwa pojawiła się w 1922. Drużyny podzielone są na dwie konferencje: American Football Conference (AFC) oraz National Football Conference (NFC). Ponadto każda z konferencji dzieli się na cztery dywizje (po 4 zespoły każda). Poszczególne dywizje noszą określenia: East, North, South oraz West. W lidze grają 32 zespoły. Każdy klub może zgłosić 53 zawodników do rozgrywek w sezonie. W przeciwieństwie do innych wielkich zawodowych lig północnoamerykańskich, w NFL nie występują kluby kanadyjskie.
Rozgrywki to trzy fazy:
*4 mecze sparingowe (exhibition season lub preseason)
*sezon zasadniczy (regular season) każdy zespół rozgrywa w sezonie 16 meczów (po dwa mecze z zespołami ze swojej dywizji oraz 10 meczów z pozostałymi drużynami NFL, które zostają przydzielone w poprzednim sezonie (dwa mecze ustala się na podstawie wyniku drużyny w poprzednim sezonie, a pozostałe 8 spotkań z drużynami innych dywizji zmienianymi co sezon)
*play-off dla 6 najlepszych zespołów w obu konferencjach: czterech zwycięzców dywizji oraz dwie najlepsze zespoły, które nie wygrały dywizji, ale mają najlepszy dorobek punktowy w danej konferencji. Zwycięzcy konferencji awansują do finału ligi – Super Bowl.
