The American 7s Football League postseason reaches the critical point on Sunday May 17 as the league’s Final Four takes the field in the 2026 A7FL Conference Championships!
With only four teams remaining across the country, the stakes could not be higher. The winners of each matchup will earn their conference title and advance to compete for The 7s Championship on May 31.
The team that ultimately wins the 2026 A7FL Championship will take home $25,000 in prize money, lift The 7s Cup, and claim the glory of being A7FL champions until the 2027 season.
Two championship games will determine who moves on.
Eastern Conference Championship
Silk City Animals (5–1) vs Paterson U (5–1)
📅 May 17, 2026
🕓 4:00 PM ET
📍 Asbury Park, NJ

The Eastern Conference title matchup brings together two teams with very different championship histories.
The Silk City Animals (5–1) are enjoying the best season in franchise history. After years of competing in the A7FL, the Animals have never won a championship, but their 2026 campaign has positioned them closer than ever to breaking through. They enter the Conference Championship as one of the league’s most explosive teams, scoring 242 points while allowing 157 on defense. The Animals’ offense is powered by standout playmakers David Tender and Quanny Morgan, who have been central to the team’s historic run.
Standing across from them is the most decorated franchise in A7FL history.
Paterson U (5–1) has already claimed three A7FL championships, more than any team in league history. With 221 points scored and 167 allowed, Paterson U once again enters the playoffs as a championship-caliber contender. Their veteran leadership and championship pedigree are anchored by stars Quatrell Huffin and Dekyri Mims, who have been key playmakers throughout the season.
For the Animals, this is the chance to complete the greatest season in franchise history. For Paterson U, it is another opportunity to extend their legacy as the most successful team the league has ever seen.
With identical 5–1 records, elite offenses, and championship stakes, the Eastern Conference Championship could become one of the most memorable battles in A7FL history.
Western Conference Championship
Las Vegas Sickwidit (4–2) vs Las Vegas Insomniacs (4–1)
📅 May 17, 2026
🕓 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET
📍 Henderson, NV (Pinecrest)
🎟️ Tickets: https://www.a7fl.com/tickets
The Western Conference Championship features a heated all–Las Vegas showdown between two teams with very different motivations.
The Las Vegas Insomniacs (4–1) have built one of the most dominant defenses in the league this season, allowing just 70 points while scoring 162. A victory on May 17 would put the Insomniacs one step closer to making history — their third A7FL championship in the last four seasons.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas Sickwidit (4–2) enters the championship game with one of the most productive offenses in the conference, scoring 212 points while allowing 149. Despite multiple strong seasons and appearances in the Western Conference Championship, Sickwidit has never captured an A7FL title.
That history adds even more urgency to this matchup. The Insomniacs are trying to continue a modern dynasty in the West, while Sickwidit is determined to finally break through after years of falling just short.
The 2026 A7FL Conference Championships represent the final step before the league crowns its ultimate champion. With the Final Four now set, May 17 will determine which two teams move on to compete for The 7s Championship, $25,000 in prize money, and The 7s Cup!
Fans can watch the action live on A7FL.tv, DAZN, and Creator Sports Network (CSN) as the road to the 2026 A7FL Championship reaches its final turn.
