How often do NFL home teams win?
The interactive chart needs JavaScript. The numbers are on the chart's page.
Home teams won 53.8% of NFL regular-season games in 2025; from 1999 to 2018 they usually won 55% to 60%. In 2020, played mostly without fans, it fell to 50.4%, barely better than a coin flip. A tie counts as half a win; games at neutral sites, such as those abroad, are left out. The chart starts in 1999, the first season in nflverse's data.
