 * year
 * The year of the season this article describes.

It should be W or L followed by Wild Card and/or Divisional and/or Conference and/or Super Bowl ?, where the ? is the Roman numeral of the Super Bowl, or NFL Championship. The Super Bowl and the NFL Championship should be wikified to the correct article and if more than one playoff game was played enter a  after each game played. If the franchise did not play in the postseason enter "did not qualify".

Optional
These fields will not be shown if the parameter is omitted or if no value is given
 * owner

 * conference place
 * The place that the franchise had within their conference. The conference name ought to be wikified.


 * local radio
 * The broadcast radio flagship(s) during the season.


 * pro bowlers
 * Players who were selected to play in the NFL Pro Bowl. The Pro Bowl year is always the following year of the season.
 * If more than one or two players are listed, consider using a Template:Collapsible list, for example:


 * AP All-pros
 * Players who were selected to the Associated Press All-Pro team. As with Pro Bowlers, consider using a collapsible list (see example above) if more than a couple of players are listed.


 * All-AFL
 * Players who were selected to the Associated Press All-AFL team. As with AP All-pros, consider using a collapsible list (see example above) if more than a couple of players are listed.


 * AFL allstars
 * Players who were selected to play in the AFL All-Star Game (1960–1970).


 * MVP
 * The player selected as the team Most Valuable Player.


 * ROY
 * The player selected as the team Rookie of the Year.


 * MOP, MOC, MOR
 * For CFL players selected as their teams' nominees.


 * uniform
 * Used just like the parameter in Template:NFL team. Makes a new infobox section with a uniform image, the name of which is used for the parameter.


 * shortnavlink
 * Defines what will be displayed on the link to (generally) the "List of  seasons" article. If this parameter is not defined the link will default to either " seasons" (e.g. Dallas Cowboys seasons) or to "" depending on whether a "List of  seasons" article exists.


 * previous
 * Rarely necessary. The franchise's previous season (-1) is automatically linked without using this parameter. It should only be included to override when the franchise had a break in their season chronology and/or changed names, where the automatic link would point to the wrong article.


 * next
 * Rarely necessary. The franchise's next season (+1) is automatically linked without using this parameter. It should only be included to override when the franchise had a break in their season chronology and/or changed names, where the automatic link would point to the wrong article.


 * teamdisplay
 * Rarely necessary. This parameter is used only in cases where the "team" parameter contains some sort of disambiguation that you don't want to be displayed in the infobox. (see e.g. 1939 Pittsburgh Pirates (NFL) season)


 * no_prevseason
 * Rarely used. This parameter should be set to "true" on any article covering a team's inaugural season.


 * no_nextseason
 * Rarely used. This parameter should be set to "true" on any article covering the final season of a team that has folded.


 * no_seasonslist
 * Rarely used. This parameter if set to "true" allows one to suppress the display of the "List of  seasons" link which normally appears between the links to the next and previous season articles. This can be useful in cases where a team has a very short existence.
 * Rarely used. This parameter if set to "true" allows one to suppress the display of the "List of  seasons" link which normally appears between the links to the next and previous season articles. This can be useful in cases where a team has a very short existence.


 * alternatenav
 * Rarely used. This allows one to completely bypass the logic that defines the previous/next seasons navigation. This is useful primarily at unusual junctions for a franchise where the default logic doesn't work well. A good example of the use of this parameter is 1950 Hamilton Tiger-Cats season.

Deprecated

 * teamcolor
 * This was used in conjunction with Template:Gridiron primary color, Template:Gridiron secondary color, Template:Gridiron alt primary color, and Template:Gridiron alt secondary color in cases when a different color scheme is needed from the current one (i.e. for historical season infoboxes). The color templates have since been re-written to use the year parameter to determine the historically-appropriate color scheme, so this parameter was removed here. If you see an implementation of this template using this parameter, please know that it can (and should) be removed.
