NFL 2025 playoff schedule: UK kickoff times, fixtures and how to watch or stream on road to Super Bowl 59

The NFL playoffs are here as the 2024 season reaches the home stretch on the road to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans - and you can watch it all live on Insportly!

The postseason heads into the Divisional Round this weekend as the No 1-seeded Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions join the action following their respective first-round byes.

The back-to-back defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs begin their playoff charge when they welcome CJ Stroud's Houston Texans to Arrowhead following their Wild Card win over the Los Angeles Chargers, with kickoff at 9.30pm on Saturday, live on Insportly NFL.

Detroit then host the Washington Commanders at 1am in the early hours of Sunday after Jayden Daniels inspired Dan Quinn's side to a last-gasp victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, courtesy of Zane Gonzalez's game-winning field goal.

The Philadelphia Eagles follow up their win over the Green Bay Packers at 8pm Sunday when they host the Los Angeles Rams, who stormed to a 27-9 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday after sacking Sam Darnold a playoff-record nine times.

And the game of the week arrives later that evening as Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills take on Lamar Jackson's Baltimore Ravens in a battle of the NFL's two MVP and Super Bowl favourites.

Wildcard weekend will take place from Saturday January 11-Monday January 13 before the playoffs enter the Divisional Round on Saturday January 18 and Sunday January 19, at which point the respective No 1 seeds will join the action following their bye.

It is then onto the AFC and NFC Championship Games on Sunday January 26, before Super Bowl LIX takes place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9.

It will be the 11th time the Super Bowl has been hosted in New Orleans, the first time since 2013, and the eighth game to be held at the Caesars Superdome.

Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl half-time show.

Andy Reid's Chiefs are bidding to become the first team in NFL history to win three successive Super Bowl titles after beating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime in Las Vegas last February to follow up their 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII in Arizona.

The Chiefs clinched their ninth straight AFC West division title this season with a record of 15-2 having stormed out to a 9-0 start before sealing the No 1 seed after their Christmas Day win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Detroit meanwhile occupy the No 1 seed in the NFC as one of 12 teams yet to win the Super Bowl, and one of just four teams to never reach the NFL's showpiece conclusion.

The NFL is made up of 32 competing teams which are separated into two conferences: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC).

The AFC and NFC are then further divided by region to comprise four divisions with four teams each: AFC East, North, South and West and NFC East, North, South and West.

At the end of the regular season, a total of 14 teams advance to the playoffs, including the teams with the best record in each of the respective four divisions per conference, plus a further three 'wild card' teams determined by which teams own the next-best records in each conference.

The No 1 seeds in each conference (the two teams with the best win-loss records in the AFC and NFC) receive a first-round bye, while the No 2 seeds host the No 7 seeds, the No 3 seeds host the No 6 seeds and the No 4 seeds host the No 5 seeds on Super Wild Card Weekend to open the postseason.

The No 1 seeds enter the fold during the subsequent Divisional Round when they will host the lowest remaining seed from their respective conferences, while the second-lowest remaining seed visits the second-highest remaining seed from the winners of the wild card round.

The respective winners of those two matchups then meet in the Conference Championship games, in what effectively amounts to the semi-finals for the Super Bowl as we find out who advances from each conference to play in the season finale.
