NFL Teams with the Most Playoff Appearances

The NFL playoffs were a single game that featured the winners of each conference for 33 years. The league’s playoff field was expanded from a single-elimination four-team tournament to a four team format in 1967. Three years later, it expanded to eight.

The NFL playoff expanded steadily to include 10 teams in 1978, 12 by 1990, and finally to the current 14-team format in 2020. This allows for more Super Bowl competition as well as NFL betting possibilities.

The Green Bay Packers are the most recent playoff participants in NFL history, with 35. They are followed by the Dallas Cowboys (34) and the Steelers (22). Although the Packers did not advance past the Divisional Round, they still hold the record for most league championships (including Super Bowl wins) with 13.
