Official League Honors

The 2026 All-CoFL Team

Plus the 2026 MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year.

"First, I want to say I appreciate the passion from our fans and the people who took the time to publish their own opinions on league awards and all-league recognition. That kind of interest matters, and it shows people are paying attention to what our players and teams accomplished this season.

"With that said, these are the official Continental Football League awards and All-CoFL selections, compiled through input from our coaches and football professionals. The players recognized on this year's All-CoFL Team represent exactly what this league is about. They competed at a high level, carried themselves the right way, and helped raise the standard of play across our league.

"What stands out to me is not just talent, but consistency, toughness, and the ability to impact games. These young men gave our fans, coaches, and communities something to be proud of. This group helped establish the identity of the Continental Football League, and they deserve to be recognized for the work they put in all season long."

— Manny Matsakis, Founder & CEO, Continental Football League
