How many NFL teams are there is the figure on the league's own directory. NFL.com titles that page "Official Sites of all 32 NFL Teams" and splits the directory into NFC teams and AFC teams. The NFL Football Operations abbreviation table lists 32 club codes, from Arizona through Washington. Spin one of them on the NFL team wheel.
Two conferences and eight divisions
NFL.com's 2026 opponents list groups every club under eight divisions: AFC East, AFC North, AFC South, AFC West, NFC East, NFC North, NFC South, and NFC West. The league's scheduling formula talks about "the four teams from a division," so each of those eight divisions is a group of four. The sports team wheel is the hub if you want football and basketball together. Basketball is a different number: how many NBA teams there are is 30.
