Despite the National Football League’s recent outbreak in Covid-19, the league continues to plan to host playoffs in the market for the remainder of its season and playoffs.
The NFL is firmly on its schedule to play their schedule for 256 games in 17 weeks, ending the year with Super Bowl LV on February 7th. But the league could switch to training camp-like models to make it work

The individuals spoke to CNBC on condition of anonymity as conversations are ongoing.
NFL officials have publicly stated that the league is against playing in bubble environments, with mental health being a major concern. Under this model, playoff clubs would stay in the market but would stay in hotels for the entire week leading up to playoff games.
The league’s website, NFL.com, reported on the early talks on the installation of the “local bubbles” on Sunday.
People said that keeping clubs in hotels would allow the NFL to better monitor teams while keeping players and staff close to families. One of the people pointed to that August 12th to 20th Review when the NFL did not report positive cases among players to aid in installing the model.
The NFL is against getting into bubble environments emulating the National Basketball Association in avoiding potential setbacks when local health and first aid resources are needed to support football lists.
