NFL Football Teams

The NFL consists of 32 clubs. Each has a maximum of 53 players on its roster, but can only dress 45 to play for a week during the regular season. Unlike Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League, the league has no full-time teams in Canada largely because of the historical existence of the Canadian Football League, although the Buffalo Bills play one game per year (outside of the CFL season) in Toronto, Ontario. Most teams are in the Eastern United States; 16 teams are in the Eastern Time Zone and 10 others in the Central Time Zone. The six teams in the Mountain and Pacific time zones pose special scheduling challenges and cannot play at home prior to noon local time (meaning they usually play as the second half of a doubleheader), giving them an advantage in national exposure.

Most major metropolitan areas in the United States have an NFL franchise, although Los Angeles, the second-largest metropolitan area in the country, has not hosted an NFL team since 1994.

The Rams and the Raiders called Los Angeles home from 1946-1994 and 1982-1994 respectively. In 2005, some Saints games were played in San Antonio because of Hurricane Katrina. Also, there is talk of possibly bringing the NFL to Toronto, the largest city of Canada. The most frequently mentioned team for such a move is the aforementioned Buffalo Bills, who play 80 miles (130 km) south in Buffalo and do play some of their games in Toronto's Rogers Centre.

The Dallas Cowboys are the highest valued American football franchise in the world, valued at approximately $1.6 billion and one of the most valuable franchises in all of professional sports, currently second only to English soccer club Manchester United, which has an approximate value of US$1.8 billion at current exchange rates.
