Background

Overview

The 2025 Winter Season concluded on December 1, 2025, with the MOA Dingoes defeating Madhouse by a score of 10–7 in the final. Entering the season, Madhouse were ranked third in pre-season championship odds. Over the course of the campaign, Madhouse won 86 percent of their matches, while the MOA Dingoes finished with one fewer victory, having lost three match nights.

Heading into the Summer 2026 season, Madhouse are widely regarded as early title contenders following the retention of their full lineup. However, the introduction of two expansion teams—the Hornets and Beers & Spears—is expected to increase competition across the league. Meanwhile, the Hustlers have added a new recruit, and the Lion Kings return with a strengthened squad, positioning the season as one of the most competitive to date.

Prize money

The prize money remains the same as the previous season being $500.
