AFL teams

The original eight AFL teams were as follows:

Eastern Division

  • Boston Patriots (now New England Patriots)
  • Buffalo Bills
  • Houston Oilers (now Tennessee Titans)
  • New York Titans (now New York Jets)

Western Division

  • Dallas Texans (now Kansas City Chiefs)
  • Denver Broncos
  • Los Angeles Chargers (now San Diego Chargers)
  • Oakland Raiders

The eight-team roster enabled the league to set a schedule where every team played every other team twice during the fourteen-game season, as the AAFC did.

The league added a ninth team, the Miami Dolphins, in 1966, and a tenth team, the Cincinnati Bengals in 1968.
