2026 AFL Season - Commissioner's Letter

As teams - players, coaches, and support staff prepare for the upcoming season, excitement is building! We are confident this will be a good season for all… teams, friends, families and fans.

Off-season training is soon to evolve to pre-season camps, with the first game kick-offs not far away. The fields will soon be alive with competitive games, cheering fans, and thrilling displays of athleticism.

The parity among teams that built over the last year is sure to bring even more excitement this year. The commitment and dedication shown by our players, coaches, governors and team staff is impressive. It takes an army of volunteers to maintain a football team, and year after year, thousands of hours of work are put into preparing for every play in every game. Tactics and strategies go into every gameplan for offence, defence and special teams.

For this year, the Atlantic Football League plans to keep making meaningful improvements to our coverage, marketing and fan experiences. In the past, statistics were being maintained only by teams. Beginning this year, the League will be compiling statistics of our own, which will be made available to our fans and teams. We also plan to be releasing even more weekly highlights for everyone to enjoy.

Our overall vision for the Atlantic Football League remains positive, and we will be implementing other initiatives to make the League more entertaining as well. We welcome your feedback and suggestions to our general inbox, at atlanticfootball.info@gmail.com.

Thank you to everyone contributing to and watching our games, for you are truly what makes this league great.

Getting this much athletic entertainment at our prices is a bargain. Come on out to our games and enjoy! Or if you aren't travelling to attend, try our livestreams!
