Immediately prior to the opening kickoff, the referee meets at midfield with the captains of both teams. He flips a coin after a captain of the visiting team calls heads or tails. If the call is correct, the visiting team gets to decide whether they will receive the opening kickoff, kick the opening kickoff, choose an end zone to defend, or defer their choice to the beginning of the second half. If the call is incorrect, the home team gets to decide what they want to do.
If the team that wins the toss defers their choice to the second half, the other team gets to choose from the remaining three options to start the game.
