The Boston Cannons, New York Atlas, Philadelphia Waterdogs, and Maryland Whipsnakes make up the Eastern Conference, with the Carolina Chaos, Denver Outlaws, Utah Archers, and California Redwoods representing the Western Conference.
All teams will play conference opponents twice, and non-conference opponents once during the regular season. Under the new playoff format, the Eastern and Western Conference winners will receive a first-round bye, with remaining teams to be seeded based on their overall record. The two bottom performing teams through the regular season will be eliminated from playoff contention.
