NFL playoff bracket 2023 Live updates as standings finalized in
We update the 2023 NFL playoff bracket as the league works through Week 18.

The 2022-23 NFL regular season comes to a close this weekend and by approximately 11:15 p.m. ET Sunday evening, we’ll know what the full bracket looks like for the 2023 NFL Playoffs. All 14 teams will be settled, both No. 1 seeds will be secured, and all six Wild Card weekend matchups will be settled.

Week 18 opens with a Saturday doubleheader and both games have playoff implications. The Raiders host the Chiefs and the Jaguars host the Titans. The Chiefs can secure the No. 1 seed with a win while the winner of the latter game clinches the AFC South.

Sunday brings 14 games and 11 of them could implicate the playoff picture. Some could change as earlier games finish up, so that could change. For example, if the Ravens lose to the Bengals in the 1 p.m. window, the Chargers will not have anything to play for against the Broncos in the 4 p.m. window.

Below is a look at the updated playoff bracket as Week 18 gets underway. We’ll be updating this all day Saturday and Sunday until the final bracket is settled for the 2023 NFL Playoffs. The only two spots locked in heading into Week 8 are in the NFC with the Bucs at No. 4 and the Giants at No. 6. The winner of the AFC South will clinch the No. 4 seed. Everything else is in flux. Teams that have locked in a bye are bolded and italicized.

Saturday 7 p.m. update: The Chiefs thumped the Raiders to secure the No. 1 seed. They get a first round bye, but the AFC title game would be at a neutral site if the Bills win on Sunday.

Saturday 11:10 p.m. update: The Jaguars beat the Titans to win the AFC South and get into the playoffs, which knocked the Titans out of the playoffs. They will have the No. 4 seed and will play the Chargers or the Ravens.
