The NFL playoff bracket for 2020 was finalized after the 49ers beat the Seahawks on “Sunday Night Football” to close the regular season. Soon after the seeding in the AFC and NFC was set, the league released its schedule for the playoffs in 2020, from the wild-card round through Super Bowl 54 in Miami.
Beginning Saturday, Jan. 4, a total of 11 playoff games will narrow the playoff field from 12 postseason contenders to one champion, which will be crowned Sunday, Feb. 2.
As is the case in the regular season, the national TV broadcasts for NFL playoff games are split between CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN. As part of a rotation, Fox will broadcast the Super Bowl this year from Miami.
Below is all you need to know about the NFL playoff bracket in 2020, including a complete postseason schedule, TV channels for all 11 playoff games and scores/results.
