Competition system

BAFA National Leagues is the adult contact league system for Great Britain. The top tier is split into Premiership North and Premiership South. Below it, Division 1 is organised regionally as NFC 1 (North, Scotland, Midlands) and SFC 1 (East, Central, West). Division 2 is also regional, with NFC 2 North/Midlands and SFC 2 East/West.

Teams primarily play within their own division/region during the regular season. Standings, playoff qualification and promotion/relegation are handled within that structure, so Pigskin Europe separates the table by division rather than mixing all BAFA teams into one league-wide ranking.

Division names follow BAFA/LeagueRepublic naming. Some Northern/Scottish cross-over fixtures exist in the imported schedule, but the table below keeps teams in their primary 2026 division.
