The NFL Super Bowl is the pinnacle event of the National Football League.

The Super Bowl started after the official merger of the American Football League and the National Football League in 1966. Although the teams from each league were merged into a single League after 1970, the first-ever Super Bowl took place in 1967.
The name ‘Super Bowl’ was first coined by Lamar Hunt, the founder of the Kansas City Chiefs franchise (via Time Magazine). The Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of (35-10) in the first-ever Super Bowl game in 1967.
The Super Bowl trophy is named the Vince Lombardi Trophy to honor the legendary player and coach. Super Bowls are usually played on a Sunday, popularly known as Super Bowl Sunday. The winners of the Super Bowl are awarded a Super Bowl Championship ring to commemorate their win, and the best player is also honored as the Super Bowl MVP.

How do teams make it to the Super Bowl?
The NFL is divided into two major Conferences, the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference (NFC). Each Conference comprises 16 teams, further divided into four Divisions of four teams. The Super Bowl is a match between the AFC Conference Champion and the NFC Conference Champion.
In the regular season leading up to the playoffs, each team plays a total of 17 games spread over an 18-week schedule. Each team plays the other three teams in its division both at home and away during the season, while the other 11 games that make up their 17-game schedule are rotated yearly between teams from other divisions and conferences.
The four teams at the top of their respective divisions from both conferences after week 18, together with the three teams having the next-best records in each conference (the wild card teams), advance to the postseason (NFL Playoffs) after the conclusion of the regular season.
With each team seeded appropriately based on their win-loss records to establish the schedule for the playoffs, a total of 14 teams - seven from each conference take part in the playoffs which is a knockout system. The top seeded team in each conference does not participate in Wild Card Round and book their spot directly into Divisional Round. The road to the Super Bowl comprises three rounds, the Wild Card Round, the Divisional Round, and the Conference Championship Round. The winners of each Conference Championship advance to play in the Super Bowl.
