Live 2025 NFL playoff picture bracket: Standings, seedings and matchups ahead of Wild Card Weekend

The most exciting time of any NFL season has arrived, the playoffs!

Starting this weekend with the Wild Card round, 12 teams will battle it out for a place in the Divisional matchups and take a step closer to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. 

Some may notice that the Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions will not be taking to the field this weekend, and this is because both teams secured the number one seeds in the AFC and NFC respectively which gives them a bye into the second round of the 2025 playoffs. 

Here is DAZN News' playoff breakdown and how things stand ahead of Wild Card weekend.
