The worldwide impact of the coronavirus (Covid-19) has forced sports leagues to cancel, pause, rescheduled and adjust every sporting event. The NFL is no different. The 2020-21 NFL season has certainly had their ups-and-downs with dozens of games that had to be moved and rescheduled.

With some bumps, bruises and a lot of learnings along the way, the NFL has made it through their the regular season and hoping that they can get through the NFL playoff schedule without too many unexpected problems.

2020 NFL Playoff bracket and seedings

If there are no serious coronavirus issues stemming from Week 17, the league can commence with the newly-expanded NFL Playoff bracket for the 2020-21 season. And we’re here to provide you with the NFL Playoff race manifested into the final NFL Playoffs bracket.

With the final week of the regular season scheduled to be played on January 3rd, the NFL playoff picture will be crystal clear after Week 17. This final week will determine who will play in the NFL Wild Card round and seedings for each post season-bound team.

And if all things go well, the culmination of the NFL Playoff road ends with the AFC and NFC champions playing in Super Bowl LV. The NFL championship event will again be played in the first week of February — on Sunday, February 07, 2021 — in Tampa, Florida at Raymond James Stadium.

Download and print the 2020 NFL playoff bracket

This year’s NFL playoff bracket differs from previous post season National Football League tournaments. This year adds two more teams to the bracket — one from each conference — building on the 12 playoff teams that NFL fans were used to seeing since 1990 when the league added two Wild Cards to the field. Here’s what the 2020 NFL Playoff bracket looks like with fourteen teams:

As you can see we already populated the AFC #1 seed with the Kansas City Chiefs — the defending 2019 Super Bowl Champions powered by quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide-receiver Tyreek Hill — who have amassed a league-best 14-1 record as of this writing. KC will play the San Diego Chargers to see if they can build on their record.

As mentioned above, we’ll await the last week of the season before being able to fill out the entirety of the NFL bracket. Until then you can download and print out the NFL Playoff bracket you see above (without most seedings) in several iterations and formats.

If you’d like to download the print out our postseason bracket in PDF, you can easily fill that information in after Week 17 finishes. Click here for the blue NFL bracket in image file format and PDF format. Both of those versions are in the preferred-bracket landscape orientation.

For one of the NFL contenders to reach the Super Bowl, they’ll need to win out 2-3 games (depending on where they’re seeded). Like March Madness, the NFL Playoffs are a single-elimination tournament, so the stakes are high and the each team have to come prepared for each game. This Super Bowl will feature the AFC champs taking on the NFC champions looking to go home with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
