United Conference
The United Conference was introduced for the 2025 BFL season as part of the league’s move to a two‑conference structure. It consists of the Central Division and South Division, each containing four teams.
Before 2025, the South Division operated independently and held its own postseason, which was merged into the new conference format when the British Conference was created.

Conference Playoffs
Prior to 2025, the postseason used a divisional format. From 2015–2018, the top two teams played in the Division Final (#2 @ #1). From 2019–2024, the structure expanded to a Division Semi‑Final (#3 @ #2) followed by a Division Final hosted by the Division Champion.
In 2025, this system was replaced by the Conference Semi‑Finals (#4 @ #1 and #3 @ #2), with the winners advancing to the Conference Championship.
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.
