The '''National Football Conference – Western Division''' or '''NFC West'''  is one of the four [[Division (sport)|division]]s of the [[National Football Conference]] (NFC) in the [[National Football League]] (NFL). It currently has four members: the [[Arizona Cardinals]], the [[Los Angeles Rams]], the [[San Francisco 49ers]], and the [[Seattle Seahawks]].

== History ==

The division was formed in 1967 as the National Football League Coastal Division, keeping with the theme of having all of the league's divisions starting with the letter "C."{{citation needed|date=October 2020|reason=Source needed showing that these were in fact the same division, and not two different divisions with similar composition.}} The division was so named because its teams were fairly close to the coasts of the United States, although they were on opposite coasts, making for long travel between division rivals. The NFL Coastal Division had four members: [[Atlanta Falcons]], [[Baltimore Colts]], [[Los Angeles Rams]], and [[San Francisco 49ers]]. Los Angeles and San Francisco occupied the West Coast, while Baltimore maintained its dominance over the lesser teams that remained in the division. Atlanta was placed in the division instead of the expansion [[New Orleans Saints]] despite being further east than three Eastern Conference teams (Cowboys, Cardinals, and the aforementioned Saints).

After the [[AFL–NFL merger]] in 1970, the division was renamed the NFC West. The Baltimore Colts moved to the [[AFC East]] and were replaced by the Saints, who came from the Eastern Conference (the Saints played in the Capitol Division in 1967 and '69, and the Century Division in 1968). In 1976, the newly formed [[Seattle Seahawks]] spent one season in this division (Seattle did not play the other four members of the division home-and-home in 1976, playing each of the other 13 NFC teams and the other expansion team of 1976, the [[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]]) before moving to the [[AFC West]]. Except for that one year, the division remained the same until 1995 with the addition of the new [[Carolina Panthers]] team. The Rams moved to St. Louis before that same season, making the division geographically inaccurate. Ten of the fifteen NFC teams were based west of Atlanta, and twelve of them were based west of Charlotte (all except the Redskins, Eagles and Giants).

The 2002 re-alignment changed the entire look of the NFC West. The Falcons, Panthers, and Saints moved into the [[NFC South]]; while the Cardinals moved in from the NFC East and the Seahawks returned from the AFC West. The Rams remained in the West, preserving the historical rivalry with the 49ers that has existed since [[1950 NFL season|1950]], and thus had been the only team in the division that was located east of the [[Rocky Mountains]] until 2015. Despite this, the re-alignment made the NFC West have all of its teams based west of the [[Mississippi River]]. With the Rams' return to Los Angeles in 2016, the entire NFC West is now located west of the Rockies for the first time in its history; all teams except for the Cardinals are based in the [[Pacific Time Zone]] (since most of [[Arizona]] does not observe [[daylight saving time]], the clocks are the same as Pacific Daylight Time from the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday of November, through at least 2027). The 2016 season marked the first time neither the 49ers nor Seahawks played a division game east of the Rocky Mountains.

The NFC West became the second division since the 2002 realignment (the NFC South was the first) to have each of its teams make a conference championship game appearance: Los Angeles (2018 and 2021), Arizona (2008 and 2015), San Francisco (2011, 2012, 2013, 2019 and 2021), and Seattle (2005, 2013, and 2014). Also since 2002, each team has won at least three division titles, one of only two divisions in the league to do so. All of its teams have appeared in a Super Bowl at least once since the 2002 realignment (the only other division accomplishing this being the NFC South): Arizona ([[2008 NFL season|2008]]), Los Angeles Rams ([[2018 NFL season|2018]], [[2021 NFL season|2021]]), San Francisco ([[2012 NFL season|2012]], [[2019 NFL season|2019]], [[2023 NFL season|2023]]), and Seattle ([[2005 NFL season|2005]], [[2013 NFL season|2013]], [[2014 NFL season|2014]]). As of 2024, the NFC West is the only division in the NFC that has not seen at least one of its teams win a Super Bowl when entering that year's playoffs as a wild-card entry (the same historical fact holds true for both the AFC East and AFC South).

In 2010, the NFC West became the first division in NFL history to have a champion with a losing record, after the [[2010 Seattle Seahawks season|Seattle Seahawks]] won the division title with a record of 7–9.<ref>{{Cite web |date=January 3, 2011 |title=Seattle is first division champ with losing record |url=https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/seattle-is-first-division-champ-with-losing-record |access-date=2024-05-16 |website=FOX Sports |language=en-US}}</ref> They were joined in this distinction in 2014 by the [[2014 Carolina Panthers season|Carolina Panthers]], who won the NFC South with a record of 7–8–1, 2020 by the [[2020 Washington Football Team season|Washington Football Team]], who won the NFC East also with a record of 7–9, and 2022 by the [[2022 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season|Tampa Bay Buccaneers]], who won the NFC South with a record of 8−9.<ref>{{cite web | last=McCarriston | first=Shanna | title=The worst NFL teams to win their division since the 2002 realignment | website=CBSSports.com | date=2020-10-25 | url=https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/the-worst-nfl-teams-to-win-their-division-since-the-2002-realignment/ | access-date=2025-06-22}}</ref>

Since the end of the [[2020 NFL season|2020 NFL regular season]], the 49ers lead the division with a record of 589–499–16 (137–166–1 since re-alignment) with five [[Super Bowl]] titles and an overall playoff record of 33–22. The Rams hold a record of 586–575–21 (130–173–1 since re-alignment) with five Super Bowl appearances and two wins to go with a 25–26 overall playoff record. The Cardinals hold a 135–167–2 record since joining the NFC West (566–770–41 overall) and a loss in [[Super Bowl XLIII]], currently with a 7–9 playoff record, 5–4 as a member of the NFC West. The Seahawks hold a record of 179–124–1 since joining the NFC West (367–340–1 overall), with three Super Bowl appearances, winning [[Super Bowl XLVIII]] to go with a playoff record of 17–18; they are currently 14–13 in the playoffs as a member of the NFC West, having gone 3–5 while in the [[AFC West]]. Since re-alignment, the Seahawks have led the division in wins, division titles, and playoff appearances.

;Notes and Tiebreakers
*{{note label|AFCS1|a|a}} Los Angeles won the Coastal Division based on better point differential in head-to-head games (net 24 points) vs. Baltimore. The Rams and Colts played to a 24–24 tie in Baltimore in October before the Rams won 34–10 on the season's final Sunday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The result would be the same under the modern tiebreaker, which relies first on head-to-head record (Los Angeles won the head-to-head series, 1–0–1).
*{{note label|AFCS1|b|b}} The Baltimore Colts won the NFL Championship, but lost to the AFL's New York Jets in [[Super Bowl III]].
*{{note label|AFCS1|c|c}} Due to player strikes, the league shortened the 1982 season's games and realigned all the teams into conferences. The records for the division teams are based on what it would have looked like if they were still in the division.
