NFL playoff schedule: When does wild-card action start?

The NFL playoff schedule is set.

As the final components of the playoff picture fell into place in Week 18, the league revealed its slate for the wild-card round. The Los Angeles Chargers and Houston Texans will kick things off Saturday afternoon, with an AFC North grudge match between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens to follow. Sunday’s tripleheader will begin with the Buffalo Bills hosting the Denver Broncos, followed by the Green Bay Packers visiting the Philadelphia Eagles. The Washington Commanders will square off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to close the night. And the action will wrap up Monday, when either the Detroit Lions or Minnesota Vikings travel to face the Los Angeles Rams.

Here’s the schedule for the wild-card round and beyond:
