British Conference
The British Conference was introduced for the 2025 BFL season as part of the league’s move to a two‑conference structure. It currently consists of the North Division and West Divisions, each containing four teams, and will also include the Scotland Division in 2028.
Two Division Champions and the two next best teams play in the Conference Playoffs.
Before 2025, the North Division operated independently and held its own postseason, which can be found under the North Division Playoffs section.

Conference Playoffs
Prior to 2025, the postseason used a divisional format which can be found under the North Division Playoffs section.
In 2025, this system was replaced by the Conference Semi‑Finals (#4 @ #1 and #3 @ #2), with the winners advancing to the Conference Championship.
In 2026, Division Champions will get the top seeds, followed by the wild card teams with the next best records regardless of division.
From 2028, the top three Division Champions will get seeds #1-3, followed by three wild card teams with the next best record regardless of division.
Dates listed on the Conference Playoffs pages, including the BFL Bowl, follow the NFL season schedule. Updates on the BFL site may occasionally be delayed due to time‑zone differences.
