Competition format
Teams are divided into five conferences, some of which are further subdivided into divisions. Unless specified otherwise, all playoff matches are contested over a single leg, hosted by the team with the best points-per-game ratio. Extra time is not used in any round; matches drawn after 90 minutes advance directly to a penalty shootout.
- Central Conference: Teams are divided into Heart, North, and South divisions. Each division plays a double round robin for 14, 12, and 10 matches respectively. The top two teams from each division plus the two best third place teams by points-per-game qualify for the playoffs.
- Colorado Conference: Teams play a double round robin in a single division for eight matches. The top four teams qualify for the playoffs.
- Mountain Conference: Teams play a double round robin in a single division for four matches. The top two teams qualify for the playoffs.
- Southeast Conference: Teams are divided into Mid-Atlantic, Florida Central, and Florida South divisions. Each division determines its own champion. The champions of the Florida divisions then play, with the winner facing the champion of the Mid-Atlantic division to determine the conference champion.
- Florida Central Division: Teams play a double round robin for 14 matches. The top seven teams qualify for the playoffs with the division leader receiving a bye to the divisional semifinals.
- Florida South Division: Teams play a single round robin for 13 matches. The top eight teams qualify for the playoffs.
- Mid-Atlantic Division: Teams are further divided into north and south sections. Each section plays a double round robin for eight and ten matches respectively. The top eight teams by points-per-game across both sections qualify for the playoffs.
- Western Conference: Teams are divided into SoCal and Wild West divisions. Each division determines its own champion with the two divisional champions then matched up to determine the conference champion.
- SoCal Division: Teams are further divided into north and south sections. Each section plays a single round robin for eight matches. The top three teams in each section qualify for the playoffs, with the section leaders receiving byes to the divisional semifinals. The last placed team in each section is relegated to the Championship.
- Wild West Division: Teams are further divided into north and south sections. Each section plays a double round robin for eight matches. The top two teams in each division qualify for the playoffs, with the top seed in each section hosting the second seed in the other section.
- National Playoffs: The champions of the Colorado and Mountain conferences play. The winner of that match then plays the champion of the Western conference while the champions of the Central and Southeast conferences play. The two winners then contest the national championship.
