1963 Season
This was the fourth season of the American Football League. The Dallas Texans relocated to become the Kansas City Chiefs and the New York Titans were renamed the New York Jets and their colours changed from navy blue and gold to green and white.

For the first time, the AFL introduced a Playoff Game as both the Boston Patriots and Buffalo Bills were tied for first place. The San Diego Chargers defeated the Boston Patriots to win the AFL Championship Game and their only major league championship won by the Chargers and the city of San Diego.
