The National Football League playoffs for the 2012 season began on January 5, 2013, and will end with Super Bowl XLVII on February 3 at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
With the exception of the Indianapolis Colts, all teams from the AFC returned to the playoffs. In addition, all teams in both conferences won at least 10 games, the first time since 2005.
In the United States, NBC broadcast the first two Wild Card playoff games. Fox will then televise the rest of the NFC games. CBS will broadcast the rest of the AFC playoff games and the Super Bowl. All games will also be broadcast by Dial Global radio.
