The 1927 NFL season was the eighth regular season of the National Football League. It was preceded by an April 1927 purge of the financially weakest franchises from the league roster, with the total number of NFL teams ultimately dropping from 22 in 1926 to just 12 in 1927.
The 1927 season also saw the elimination of black players from NFL ranks, foreshadowing the racial color bar that would be in effect from 1934 to 1946.
The New York Giants were named NFL Champions in 1927, although no Championship Playoff game took place.
