The National Football League playoffs for the 2014 season will begin on January 3, 2015, and end with Super Bowl XLIX on February 1 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Under the new U.S. TV broadcast contracts that take effect starting this season, a Wild Card playoff game will be broadcast by ESPN[1] (which, like other NFL games carried on cable, will be simulcast on an over-the-air station in each of the team's primary market).[2][3] NBC will then televise one Wild Card round game and one Divisional round game.[1] Fox will televise one NFC Wild Card round game, one NFC Divisional round game, and the NFC Championship Game. CBS will televise the rest of the AFC playoff games. The Super Bowl will be televised by NBC.[2] All games will be broadcast on Westwood One radio.
