Calendario NFL 2023: chi affronterà chi e perchè
Ad inizio gennaio, con la fine della regular season la NFL comunica il calendario della stagione successiva limitandosi a chi affronterà chi e dove. Questa parte del calendario NFL è la più semplice perchè si basa su dei criteri predefiniti e non soggetti a variazione, che vi riassumiamo:
- 6 partite contro le altre tre squadre della propria Division, andata e ritorno
- 4 partite contro tutte le altre di una Division della propria Conference (cambiano ogni anno a rotazione) – stesso colore nell’immagine
- 4 partite contro tutte le altre di una Division dell’altra Conference – stessa riga nell’immagine
- 2 partite contro le due squadre arrivate nella stessa posizione, in stagione regolare, nelle rimanenti due Division della propria Conference – stessa colonna nell’immagine
- 1 partita contro una squadra dell’altra Conference arrivata nella stessa posizione che non sia nella Division che già si affronta. Nel 2023 saranno le squadre AFC ad avere una partita in casa in più – stesso simbolo nell’immagine
Il calendario ufficiale NFL viene di solito comunicato verso fine aprile/inizio maggio. La regular season 2023 inizierà giovedì 7 settembre e si concluderà dopo 18 giornate l’8 gennaio. Il Super Bowl LVIII si disputerà l’11 febbraio all’Allegiant Stadium di Las Vegas (Nevada). Nella prossima stagione la NFL disputerà cinque partite all’estero, tutte in Europa.
Prima di vedere chi affronterà chi e dove vi proponiamo la cosiddetta strength of schedule, cioè la forza dei propri avversari basandosi sul record della stagione NFL 2022. In questa classifica, che vale quello che vale, gli Eagles sono la squadra con gli avversari più forti mentre i Falcons la squadra con quelli più deboli.
