How Teams Reach the Super Bowl
Fourteen teams qualify for the playoffs, seven from each conference. They advance through the Wild Card, Divisional, and Conference Championship rounds, and the two conference champions meet in the Super Bowl. This is why the matchup is not confirmed until roughly two weeks before the game.
Secure Tickets for Your Team
For fans confident in their team’s postseason run, the advantage lies in acquiring Super Bowl 2027 tickets or a travel package before the matchup is set. Once a team advances, demand from its fan base drives prices up quickly.
