The NFL and NFLPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement, which added a 17th game beginning in 2021.

Under the formula, every team plays 17 games as follows:

  • Home and away against its three division opponents (6 games).
  • The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games).
  • The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games).
  • Two intraconference games based on the prior year's standings (2 games).
  • One interconference game based on the prior year's standings on a rotating four-year cycle (1 game).

These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.
