The 1977 NFL season was the 58th regular season of the National Football League. The two second-year expansion teams switched conferences, with the Seattle Seahawks moving from the NFC West to the AFC West and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers transferring from the AFC West to the NFC Central.
This was the last NFL regular season with 14 games. The regular season was expanded to 16 games in 1978, with the preseason reduced from six games to four. It was also the final season of the eight-team playoff field in the NFL, before going to ten the following season.
The season ended with Super Bowl XII, when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Denver Broncos.
