The journey to Super Bowl LX starts this weekend as several contenders battle to inch a step closer to capturing football’s ultimate prize.

A few perennial playoff participants we’re accustomed to seeing contend in January were eliminated from the postseason, making way for some of the league’s young and talented quarterbacks to get their chance to perform on the biggest stage as they lead their respective teams in the opening round. 

This weekend’s NFL Wildcard matchups are intriguing and feature evenly matched teams capable of making a deep run in the tournament. 

Here’s a look at the NFL Wildcard playoff schedule and how to stream NFL games on FOX.
