SEASONS > PLAYOFFS

Since the 2019 Season, the top 3 (per Division) qualify for the Playoffs, making a total of 6 teams, after the previous plans to expand the playoffs were dropped. See BFL Rules 2-4 for further details.

2025 Season will expand to 8 teams (4 per division), 4 @ 1 & 3 @ 2; meaning the Division champion will no longer receive a bye into the Division Final.

The BFL Standings can be found under here.
