How NFL Territory Conquest Works

  • Every team starts with the land closest to its stadium.
  • Win a game and you take all of the loser's territory.
  • Territory carries over all season, with no resets until next year.
  • London games and neutral sites still follow winner-takes-all
  • Los Angeles and New York teams use their training facility locations
  • Click any territory to trace every team that held it.

Shared Venues Note

Some teams in this season share a venue location. For visualization purposes, each team's territory boundary is calculated from a slightly offset position (~300 feet apart) to create distinct territories.

  • Wrigley Field:
    • Chicago Bears (nudged NE)
    • Hammond Pros (nudged SW)
