NFL season
 <1981 1983> 

The 1982 NFL season was the 63rd season of American football in the National Football League (NFL). The regular season began on September 12, 1982 and ended on January 3, 1983. The season ended with the Pro Bowl on February 6 at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu , Hawaii .

A 57-day (20 September – 17 November) player strike shortened the scheduled 16 game days of the regular season to nine in the 1982 season. As a result, the play-off modalities had to be changed. The importance of the divisions was suspended for this season. In addition, the field of play-off participants was expanded to eight teams per conference (otherwise six play-off participants per conference).

The negotiated collective bargaining agreement was in effect until 1986. A minimum wage, wages for training camps and pre-season games as well as support for medical care, insurance and pensions were improved.

For the first time, the Sunday games began either at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (7:00 p.m. CET) or 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 p.m. CET). There was an exception for the Baltimore Colts, which due to local regulations could not start before 2 p.m.
