HIGHLIGHTS

Each team plays a series of pre-season games, in August, before competing in a 17-week 16-game schedule, between September and December/January, with some games played in international cities. The regular season is followed by the Playoffs, made up of 14 teams (expanded from its previous 12), which end in February with the Super Bowl.

Prior to the Super Bowl, an all-star game, the Pro Bowl, takes place in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada (as of 2020 season).

New Orleans is scheduled to host Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025.

The BFL Season follows the NFL's weeks 1-13 (regular season) and weeks 14-16 (playoffs).
