Just like the postseason field itself, the NFL playoff schedule is now set.

With a little more than a month remaining until Super Bowl 60 in Santa Clara, California, 14 teams are about to embark on a journey that they hope will lead to a Lombardi Trophy. But the first steps will be taken next weekend in the wild-card round.

The Los Angeles Rams and Carolina Panthers will kick things off on Saturday afternoon, with the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears to follow. Three more contests will be held Sunday, and the Houston Texans will wrap things up at the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Here’s a full look at the schedule:
