The NFL (National Football League) belongs to the professional group in the American football league. Organizers of the franchise are the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference. These consist of 32 different teams, but divided into 4 further categories. Football is played against each other in 16 matches within 7 weeks.


The best teams then play for the championship in the play-offs. This consists of four division winners each. The best two teams are also called wildcard teams and meet in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl has been held on the first Sunday in February for several years. This sporting event is attracting more and more fans not only in America, but also in Europe, for example.


As a motivating incentive, players receive awards for the best offense of the year, for example, as well as trophies for the entire team, such as for participating in or winning the Super Bowl.


As a true NFL fan, you should therefore take your chance now and stock up on the right equipment from the NFL Fan Shop at EMP.


Super Bowl - The game of the giants


Together NFL and AFL have created the Super Bowl. Since then, many records have been written. As an example, the 13-time title achievement of the Green Bay Packers. Or the New England Patriots, who have changed locations the most times with six.


In 2007, the Patriots claimed an overwhelmingly positive record, completing the season with 18 wins and no losses. The Detroit Lions delivered a negative top performance in 2008, losing 16 games.


Another record is the amount of money football players receive at the Super Bowl. Each player on the winning team receives the equivalent of 90,650 euros. The losing team gets "only" half, with about 45,300 euros per person. The team that wins the Super Bowl receives another 64,000 euros per person on top.

Facts and figures about the NFL


- The NFL, and especially the Super Bowl, are the most watched sporting events in the world. Internationally, the sporting event is watched by almost a billion people.


- In the U.S. alone, more than 100 million people watch the Super Bowl. One in four Americans plans to throw a Super Bowl party or attend a party for the occasion.

- For the respective region in which the Super Bowl takes place, this means a huge increase in sales of fan merchandise every season. This turnover is estimated at around 400 million US dollars. And after the game, relaxation is the order of the day: every tenth American does not show up at work after the final.

- The Green Bay Packers' fan base is huge. If you got on the waiting list for a season ticket today, you'd have to wait about 1,000 years for a seat. We can't give you that with a season ticket, but we can with Green Bay Packers merchandise.


- The Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio. But why is it located there? It's because of the Canton Bulldogs, who won 25 straight games between 1921 and 1923.


- The youngest player ever inducted into the Hall of Fame is Gale Sayers. He was only 34 years old at the time of his induction. The oldest player was inducted at the age of 94a , it was Ed Sabol.

- The players have only been wearing their names on their backs since 1960.
