Sadly, some teams have already been eliminated from contention, but plenty more are still eyeing their chance to play for a berth in the Super Bowl (airing February 8 on NBC and Peacock).

Which NFL teams have clinched playoff berths?

Denver Broncos – For the second straight year, the Broncos have made it the playoffs, and for the first time since 2014 they’ve got a streak of postseason appearances going. With their win over the Packers in Week 15, the Broncos clinched their playoff spot on December 14, the earliest they’ve clinched a berth in a decade. Coach Sean Payton and starting quarterback Bo Nix have put together one of the NFL’s most exciting squads, and now they get to show off on the big stage of the NFL Playoffs.

Los Angeles Rams – Even before the Broncos secured their playoff berth, the Rams made their way into the playoff picture. The 2022 Super Bowl champs clinched their playoff spot earlier on December 14, ending the day as the top team in the NFC with an 11-3 record. The Seahawks had the same overall record after Week 15, but in terms of the NFC West, the Rams finished the day with one more division victory, putting them in the driver’s seat of the entire NFC. With the exception of the Cardinals, the NFC West has put up big numbers all year, so the Rams rising to the top proves just how dangerous this team could be in the postseason.

How many teams can make the NFL Playoffs?

Of the 32 teams in the NFL, only 14 will make it to the postseason in any given season, seven in each conference. The number one overall seed in each conference — right now, the Broncos and the Rams, but that could change — gets to take the first week off, while the other six teams play each other in the Wild Card round.

The winners move on to the Division round, then the two winners of those games head to the Conference Championship. The winner of each conference then heads to the Super Bowl, which you can catch live on NBC, Peacock, and Telemundo on February 8, 2026.
