Down, set, park! The 2023 NFL season is kicking off. For football fans across the country, the NFL season consists of 18 weeks of tosses, tackles, and touchdowns. From the opening kickoff to the grand finale of the Super Bowl, NFL football is a fan-filled journey throughout the fall.
The National Football League (NFL) is comprised of 32 teams across the country divided into two divisions: the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. Most NFL games are played on Sundays, though there are also games on Thursday and Monday nights. Federal law actually prohibits professional football leagues from competing with high school and college football, whose games are played on Fridays and Saturdays.
While the season is just beginning, it’s important to note the pinnacle of the NFL season is the Super Bowl and the crowning of the highly sought after Vince Lombardi Trophy. It’s a sporting event like no other, where the two best teams in the league battle it out for the ultimate prize. The Super Bowl halftime show, commercials, and the game itself have become cultural phenomena, drawing in viewers who may not even follow football. The 2024 Super Bowl will be held in on Sunday, February 11, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Football isn’t just a game; it’s a community. All season long fans will gather at stadiums, sports bars, and living rooms to share the experience of cheering for their favorite teams. Tailgating rituals, team traditions, and the camaraderie among fans create a sense of belonging that extends far beyond the final whistle: it’s a year-long commitment.
