American professional football
It is played during the late summer (preseason), the fall (regular season), and the winter until late in January (post-season, or play off time).
All this culminates in the Super Bowl to decide the champion team for the year.
These are now twenty four teams divided into two conferences, the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). These teams are located throughout the country from Seattle to Miami, from San Diego to New England.

Super bowl
The Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional American football in the United States, culminating a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For example, Super Bowl I was played on January 15, 1967, following the regular season played in 1966, while Super Bowl XLV was played on February 6, 2011, to determine the champion of the 2010 regular season.[1]
