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 conference), and introduce Conference Playoffs made up of the Division Champions hosting the best seeded teams; meaning the Division champion will no longer receive a bye into the Division Final.
The BFL Standings can be found here.
