Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams are all just one game away from booking a place in the biggest clash of the American sporting calendar.

Both the AFC and NFC Championship games will be held this weekend, with the winners destined for a showdown in Los Angeles next month.

Here’s everything you need to know about the two games...

AFC and NFC Championship Game teams

The four remaining teams battling out for a spot in this year’s Super Bowl are Cincinnati Bengals, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, and LA Rams.

The Bengals saw off Tennessee Titans in a tightly-contested 19-16 victory last Saturday to set up a clash with the Chiefs, who themselves edged out Buffalo Bills on Sunday in an enthralling 42-36 overtime win.

For their part, the 49ers proved too much for Green Bay Packers in a 13-10 success, thanks in large part to a late blocked punt touchdown, while the Rams survived a spirited second-half display from Tampa Bay Buccaneers to hold on for a 30-27 victory.

When are the AFC and NFC Championship Games
