National Football League (NFL) je uevo konferencijski sustav (prvaci konferencija su potom razigravali za prvaka NFL-a 1950. kad su se NFL-u pridružile momčadi iz All-America Football Conference (AAFC), koja je bila suparnička liga NFL-u. Konferencije su nazvane American Conference (Američka konferencija) i National Conference (Nacionalna konferencija). Ove dvije konferencije nisu imale svoje divizije, a sami NFL je imao ddvije divizije između 1933. i 1949. - Eastern Division (Istočnu diviziju) i Western Division (Zapadnu diviziju).
1953. American Conference postaje Eastern Conference (Istočna konferencija), a National Conference postaje Western Conference (Zapadna konferencija) te ove dvije konferencije ostaju pod svojim imenima do 1969. Od 1967. ove dvije konferencije imaju svoje divizije - Capitol i Century (Eastern Conference) te Coastal i Central (Western Conference).
1970. dolazi do ujedinjavanja National Football League (NFL) i American Football League (AFL), te se stvaraju dvije konferencije koje postoje i danas - American Football Conference (AFC, Američka konferencija) i National Football Conference (NFC, Nacionalna konferencija) koje postoje do danas. Konferencije su rađene tako da su u AFC ušli svih deset klubova iz AFL-a i tri iz NFL-a, dok su u u NFC ušli preostali 13 momčadi iz NFL-a. Postepenim širenjem NFL-a koji danas ima 32 člana, svaku konferenciju čini 16 momčadi. Prvaci AFC-a i NFC-a se svake godine sastaju u Super Bowlu u kojem pobjednik postaje prvak NFL-a.
Ove dvije konferenvije su u periodu 1970.-2001. imale po tri divizije naziva West (Zapad), Central (Središnja i East (Istok), dok od 2002. imaju po četiri divizije - West (Zapad), North (Sjever), South (Jug) i East (Istok).
