The NFL postseason is down to its final four, and the road to Super Bowl LX now runs through conference championship weekend. The New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks remain in contention, with all four teams set to take the field on Sunday, January 25.
When Are the AFC & NFC Championship Games?
The AFC Championship Game features the Patriots on the road against the Broncos.
New England advanced after a divisional-round (28-16) win over Houston, while Denver moved on by edging Buffalo in overtime (33-30). The matchup will see an emerging Patriots offense with a defense that just stifled the Texans, face a Broncos team that has relied on a strong defense and turns to Jarrett Stidham at QB after Bo Nix’s ankle injury.
In the NFC, the Rams travel to Lumen Field to face the Seahawks. The Rams progressed by surviving a tight divisional overtime win in Chicago, while Seattle reached this stage with a convincing 41-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

NFL Championship Game Details
New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos
- Date: Sunday, January 25
- Kickoff: 3:00 p.m. ET
- Location: Empower Field at Mile High, Denver
- TV: CBS
The Patriots arrive in Denver off a 28-point divisional performance that paired Drake Maye’s impressive playmaking with a defense that limited the Texans to 16 points. They will face the challenge of moving the ball against a Broncos defense that is ranked No. 1 in PFSN’s Defense Impact metric, and held Buffalo in check to win in overtime.
Denver, now with Stidham starting after Nix’s injury, will have to rely on efficiency, field position, and a supportive run game. With a Super Bowl berth at stake, turnovers, red-zone execution, and special teams will be key deciding factors.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks
- Date: Sunday, January 25
- Kickoff: 6:30 p.m. ET
- Location: Lumen Field, Seattle
- TV: FOX
The Rams head to the Seahawks after an overtime 20–17 road win in Chicago, where their defense limited the Bears late, and Matthew Stafford came in clutch with key drives. The Rams’ offense has Adams and Nacua as primary targets, with Kyren Williams providing balance on the ground.
In contrast, Seattle’s defense is coming off a dominant performance against the San Francisco 49ers and will again rely on its pass rush and coverage structure to affect Stafford. Offensively, Sam Darnold and Kenneth Walker III operate behind a unit that has finally seemed to have found its rhythm in the past few weeks.
