The 2025 regular-season finale didn’t just cement playoff seeding-it etched next year’s opponents in stone. With standings final, every club now knows its 17-game 2026 slate, including the three flex games tied to 2025 division finishes.
How the Formula Works
The NFL’s annual rotation pairs six divisional games, six same-conference non-division games, and five cross-conference contests. Three extra games-two inside the conference, one outside-flip based on 2025 order-of-finish.
- Division winners face winners, second-place meet second-place, etc.
- NFC teams host the 17th game in 2026; AFC hit the road for nine
