The CoFL’s 2026 season is built around Northern and Southern Division competition, with the top two teams in each division advancing to their respective division championship game. The two division champions will then meet in the Continental Cup.

The Norfolk Neptunes and Vegas Gamblers are participating in select CoFL games as fully professional, CoFL-sanctioned opponents representing future league markets. Their games are played under CoFL standards and scheduling, but their results do not count in the official division standings or playoff race for full member clubs.
