Here’s what the schedule looks like for Divisional Round Weekend in the NFL.
Schedule
Here’s a look at the schedule for the 2023-24 NFL Divisional Round Playoffs schedule, including time and dates, as well as TV information for those in the United States:
- AFC #4 Texans vs. AFC #1 Ravens (January 20, 4:30 PM ET, ABC and ESPN)

Both the 49ers and Ravens, the top seeds in the NFC and AFC, will play their first NFL playoff game of 2023-24 on January 20.
One day later, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs will play the Bills in what will be Kansas City’s first true road game of the Mahomes era. Kansas City has played on the road in a technical sense with Mahomes, albeit in a neutral stadium.
NFL Wild Card Playoffs Brackets
Here’s what the NFL playoff bracket looks like at this moment in time:
We should note that the NFL Playoffs reseeded after the Wild Card round. What this means is that after this weekend’s games, the top seed in both conferences will play the lowest remaining seed.
Since Green Bay is the lowest seed left in the NFC, the Packers head to Santa Clara to take on the 49ers. Meanwhile, in the AFC, the AFC South winners in Houston will go to Baltimore to face Lamar Jackson and the top-seed Ravens.
A look ahead in the NFL Playoffs
One week after the Divisional Round will be the AFC and NFC Conference Championship games, scheduled for January 28.
The Pro Bowl will take place on February 4, followed by the Super Bowl on February 11.
