For football fans, it’s no better time to look at a printable 2025 NFL Playoff bracket and schedule than now. Super Bowl LIX (59 for those who don’t speak Roman numerals) is scheduled to take place on February 9th, 2025. The 2025 Super Bowl will be played at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. If there are changes to any of the scheduled dates for the 2025 playoffs, the NFL will typically release those in May when they confirm the NFL weekly schedules. These will also include the 2025 Monday Night Football, 2025 Thursday Night Football, and Sunday Night football schedules.
What are the Key NFL Playoff Dates for the 2025 Season?
With the expansion of the NFL regular season to 17 games from 16, we will probably not see a January Super Bowl again any time soon. 2025 will mark the 23rd time the game has been played in the calendar month of February. The key dates for the playoffs are:
- Wild Card Round: Jan 11-13, 2025
- Divisional Round: Jan 18-19, 2025
- Conference Championships: Jan 26, 2025
- Super Bowl LIX: Feb 9, 2025
- 2025 NFL Draft (April 24-26, 2025)

We get into the specific NFL Playoff TV schedule below. For the playoffs, the NFL will be broadcasting games on ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN. Amazon is in discussions to carry a playoff game, and we have not seen a confirmation yet on which streaming service will carry games and the Super Bowl yet like Paramount+ is doing/did for Super Bowl LVIII.

Does the NFL Reseed the Playoffs?
Yes, the NFL uses a version of a single elimination sports bracket that reseeds the teams after the Wild Card round of play. This ensures that the #1 seed in each conference will take on the lowest remaining seed in the NFL playoffs. In each conference, the #5 through #7 seeds are the teams who earned a playoff spot but did not win their division during the regular season.
What Time Does the Super Bowl Kickoff?
The Super Bowl will kick off at 6:30 PM Eastern Time. If you live on the west coast, that puts the kickoff at 3:30 PM PT.
