The scheduling formula implemented in 2002 with realignment guarantees that all teams play each other on a regular, rotating basis.
 

Under the formula, every team within a division plays 16 games as follows:

*Home and away against its three division opponents (6 games).

*The four teams from another division within its conference on a rotating three-year cycle (4 games).

*The four teams from a division in the other conference on a rotating four-year cycle (4 games).

*Two intraconference games based on the prior year's standings (2 games). These games match a first-place team against the first-place teams in the two same-conference divisions the team is not scheduled to play that season. The second-place, third-place, and fourth-place teams in a conference are matched in the same way each year.

*The official 2007 schedule, with playing dates and times, will be announced in the spring.

*NFL Kickoff 2007 Weekend will begin on Thursday night, September 6, and the regular season will conclude on December 30.

*Wild Card Weekend will be Saturday and Sunday, January 5-6; Divisional Playoff games on the weekend of January 12-13; and the AFC and NFC Championship Games on Sunday, January 20.

*Super Bowl XLII at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona will be played on Sunday, February 3.
