The NFL’s AFC and NFC Championship Games on Sunday, Jan. 22, will set the teams squaring off in Super Bowl LI in Houston Feb. 5.

First up, FOX carries the NFC title game beginning at 3/2c with the Green Bay Packers (led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, pictured) at the Atlanta Falcons. The NFC South champion Falcons defeated the Seattle Seahawks 36-20 in the Divisional Playoffs, while the NFC North champion Packers are coming off a thrilling 34-31 Divisional Playoff win over the top-seeded Dallas Cowboys.

FOX Sports’ play-by-play announcer Joe Buck calls the game with analyst Troy Aikman and reporter Erin Andrews.

Following the NFC Championship, the Pittsburgh Steelers visit the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., kicking off at 6:40/5:40c on CBS.
