With Week 18 over, the 2025 NFL Playoffs are now set and scheduled.

The end of the afternoon window saw the final seeds in the AFC be set, specifically within the wild card teams. The bracket in the NFC from two through seven was set earlier in the day before the season’s finale on Sunday Night Football made the field officially official.

Time: 8 ET on January 13th (Monday)
Channel: ESPN, ABC, ESPN+, ESPN2

Detroit (15-2) vs. Minnesota (14-3), the final game of the regular season on Sunday Night Football, decided the No. 1 seed in the NFC as the winner of the NFC North. The Lions, who won 31-9, will now host throughout their run in the postseason while the Vikings will be on the road in Los Angeles. That’s also of note because, if Minnesota beats the Rams in LA, they’d be right back at Ford Field for the divisional against Detroit.

The playoffs will open on Saturday with a pair of matchups in the AFC with the Texans hosting the Chargers along with an in-division rematch, which the two split this season, between the Ravens and Steelers. Sunday then features a trio of games with both two-seeds as the Bills host the Broncos and the Eagles host the Packers before that night’s finale with the Commanders at the Buccaneers. Rams vs. Vikings is then the lone game on Monday on ESPN.

Kansas City (15-2) and Detroit (15-2) have then earned the byes for the opening round. They are their conference’s top seeds respectively with a tie for the best record this season in the NFL.

The path to Super Bowl LIX is set with the 14 teams in the field and the first six games scheduled for next weekend. All there’s left to do is kick them off to see who advances from the wild card to the divisional and then to the championship rounds.
