2026 BFL SEASON
NFL Affiliates
NFL affiliates for the 2026 BFL Season will be confirmed at the end of the 2025 NFL Regular Season (Week 18, January 7th 2026), or earlier as playoff teams clinch their positions. For example, if the Buffalo Bills qualify and are the highest team alphabetically, they will be assigned to the Caledonian Knights.
Schedule Release
The full BFL schedule will be released in May 2026. The schedule may be updated once BFL Playoff teams are confirmed and if any NFL bye weeks impact the fixture list.
