Name all NFL teams

How this quiz works

Eight divisions of four, split evenly between the AFC and the NFC. Type teams into the box — the nickname on its own is enough — and each one drops into its division, out of 32 in all.

Working division by division is the whole trick. Nobody forgets the Chiefs or the Cowboys; people forget that the AFC South exists. Sweep the eight divisions in order and the four you cannot fill in are the four you actually did not know.

The three that go missing most often are the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Carolina Panthers and the Washington Commanders — the last of those because the name changed twice in four years.

When the clock runs out, or when you give up, every team you missed is revealed in its division.

Questions people ask

How many teams are in the NFL?

32, in eight divisions of four. Sixteen in the American Football Conference and sixteen in the National Football Conference, an arrangement unchanged since the Houston Texans joined in 2002.

Can I change the timer?

Yes. Pick 3, 5, 10 or 15 minutes before you start, or choose Count up — that mode has no limit and the clock stops the moment you get the last one, so it doubles as a speedrun timer. Your choice is remembered for next time.

Do I have to press Enter?

No. Every answer is taken the moment you finish spelling it and the box clears itself, so you can type straight through a run without touching Enter. Names that begin another name are handled too: type “niger” and Niger counts immediately, then carry on with “ia” — or just type “nigeria” in one go — and Nigeria counts as well.

Does spelling have to be exact?

Capitals, spaces, hyphens, punctuation and accents are all ignored, so “49ers” counts as “49ers” or “niners”, and the nickname alone is enough — “Steelers” works without “Pittsburgh”. There is no Enter to press — an answer counts the instant you finish spelling it.

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to install, no ads in the way of the board. Your best score is kept in your own browser and never leaves your device.
