The intent of this article is to gain a general idea of what return formations in the NFL look like. It does sample kickoffs from every team, but not every kickoff from the season.

- 6-2-2-1 and 5-3-2-1 are the primary/base formations for most of the league.
- Depth, alignments, and splits tend to be slightly different depending on game situation and opposing kicker/coverage team.
