The sun is setting on another British American Football season, and a rematch for the ages is the final treat before the 2025 season enters the history books and the 25/26 British University American Football season can be born out of its ashes. A new playoff format for those competing in Divisions 1 & 2 means that no teams from those divisions will be loading their car with pads and helmets to take the field at the home of British American Football at Butts Park in Coventry

And with that, the 2025 BAFA Premiership regular season comes to an end, making this not only the last power ranking of the year, but also the playoff preview (where we’ll begin), and we’ll have a look at the promotion picture as it stands. Playoffs Set In my first ranking of the season, I outlined this weekend’s fixtures as being an unmissable part of the playoff race, and while there weren’t any huge surprises, it definitely didn’t disappoint.

The concept? A one-day tournament featuring 8 teams battling it out, with the winners walking away with a cool £2,000 cash prize. The name of this new Tournament? Elite 5s.

Over the next few weeks, playoff seeding will be finalized, and the relegation battles will find their conclusion. So let’s take a quick look back on the last few weeks of Premiership Britball and see how our rankings have been affected.

It was a full slate of fixtures across the BAFA Premiership this weekend (only the Newcastle Vikings didn't play, due to the odd number of teams in the North) and while there hasn't been much movement, a lot happened worth talking about. So let's get straight into it - as we always do - from the top: (#10) Hertfordshire Cheetahs 0 - 58 London Warriors (#1) It's becoming an all-too familiar thing in the Prem South for fixtures to appear heavily one-sided and then play out ex

What better time to check in on the BAFA Premiership after a few weeks away than at the halfway point of the season? Let’s jump straight into it with a refresher of every team from top down. 1st.

After only two games were played in week 3 of the BAFA Premiership, this week’s fixtures - including our first glimpse of the 2025 Manchester Titans who have had a significant impact on our rankings. So, starting from the top, let’s jump straight into it:

The top end of our first-ever power ranking from Britain almost writes itself, with last year’s finalists both recording sizable shutout wins on the road to kick off their respective 2025 campaigns. As reigning champions—retaining the vast majority of that championship squad, including star QB Dee Williams, and having not recorded a regular season defeat since July 2023—the London Warriors are the clear choice at #1. However, considering that defeat came at the hands of a Bri
