NFC Championship - Definition and Overview

The National Football Conference is one of the two conferences of the National Football League. The Conference was created for the 1970 NFL season. The NFC had 13 teams in 1970. As of 2003, there are 16 teams.

The NFC currently consists of 16 teams, organized into four divisions (North, South, East, and West) of four teams each. Each team plays the other teams in their division twice (home & away) during the regular season in addition to 10 other games/teams assigned to their schedule by the NFL in the May before.

At the end of each football season, a series of playoff games involving the top six teams in the NFC are conducted, consisting of the four division champions by place standing and the top two remaining non division champion teams ("wildcards") by record. The two teams remaining play in the NFC Championship game with the winner receiving the George Halas Trophy. The NFC Champion plays the AFC Champion in the Super Bowl.
