The NFL, or National Football League, is divided into two main conferences: the AFC (American Football Conference) and the NFC (National Football Conference). Each conference is further split into four divisions: North, South, East, and West. This structure helps organize the teams and creates a framework for scheduling games and determining playoff matchups. Each division consists of four teams, making a total of 32 teams in the league. The teams compete within their divisions for a chance to qualify for the playoffs, with the top teams from each division vying for the coveted Super Bowl championship at the end of the season.
