2026 NFL Postseason: Playoff Schedule & Draft Order

Keep track of the NFL postseason en route to Super Bowl LX in the Bay Area, with its evolving playoff bracket and draft order.

Brackets of fortune for both now and later are being formed in the NFL. With the 18 weeks of the regular season officially wrapped, the playoff board has been formed, as has a good bit of the 2026 NFL Draft order.

The former group will continue to fight on for Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium, where the Philadelphia Eagles will look to defend their championship. The Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks respectively lead the AFC and NFC going into the playoffs and are blessed with the Wild Card byes afforded to the top seeds while the Las Vegas Raiders are essentially on the clock until spring, when rookies are called to the stage in Pittsburgh.
