=== Season VIII Postseason ===

The GFC Divisional Round started things off for the playoffs with one of the biggest upsets in EFL history where the Los Angeles Raptors stunned the Eritrea Camels 35-31. Camels QB LukeDCool had a mid season meltdown where he failed to produce good QB play following their week 7 win over the 67ers, which ended up costing him his season. In the OFC, Bengals QB Dres1; who was acquired at the trade deadline, dominated the San Francisco 67ers 49-26 in excellent fashion. The GFCCG had the Slobozi Renaissance and the Los Angeles Raptors go back and fourth but eventually resulted in a Renaissance win 52-46 as QB DistortedMatrix failed to score on his final drive with 13 seconds left. In the OFCCG the Tallahassee Confederates beat the Cincinnati Bengals 52-49 as the Bengals late comeback falls short, QB Dres1 threw 2 costly interceptions in which one was returned for a TD. Super Bowl VIII was one of the most anticipated matchups of the season, and it did not disappoint. With record attendance in the stands the Slobozi Renaissance took on the Tallahassee Confederates, the halftime score had the Confederates leading 28-22 but a late comeback for the Renaissance happened as they won 49-44 over the Confederates with an IceHippo walkoff TD due to blown coverage happened as time expired, solidifying one of the greatest postseasons in EFL history.

== '''Season IX''' ==

Season IX, following the 9 game-per-season experiment with Season VIII, was certainly the most hectic in EFL history. This season also marks the first season on Terra Nostra, EarthMC's map since 2026. We saw tons of teams attempt to go all in, but only one of them came on top. Formerly banned player beefour was unbanned after a league vote, and many players were traded to different conferences mid season which headlined a shocking trade deadline. This season had a ton of ups and downs for teams but the Cincinnati Bengals were the ones to come on top, finally giving franchise owner JoeSheisty his first Super Bowl ring with the Bengals.

=== Season IX Postseason ===

The OFC Divisional Round started things off for the playoffs with Beefour and the Cincinnati Bengals defeating the Tallahassee Confederates 62-28. Bengals QB Beefour had an absolutely shocking 86% completion percentage, throwing 4 touchdowns in the win. In the GFC Divisional Round, QB M1ner of the Nijmegen Renaissance eviscerated a decent Sacramento Vipers team, winning 32-8. The GFCCG had the Nijmegen Renaissance and Club America endure a lengthy lead by the Aguilas, which was nearly choked away in a final score of 23-12 as QB m1ner was picked off with 0:14 on the clock. In the OFCCG the Cincinnati Bengals pulled off another win, beating the Super Bowl-favorite Texas Lonestars 30-27. QB Dres1 threw a costly interception and was shockingly underwhelming in the game. Super Bowl IX was the most anticipated matchups in possibly the entirety of EFL history, and it did not disappoint. With a certifiable record attendance in the stands of 90+ concurent players watching the game in Dallas, the Cincinnati Bengals took on the Club America Aguilas, in which the halftime score had the Bengals leading 32-22, and the Bengals simply continued to prowl from there, winning 62-28 over the Aguilas with a JoeSheisty walkoff pick-six, his second on the day, solidifying one of the greatest postseason performances by a team in EFL history, not to mention Bengals rookie WR/DT HibachiBeamz solidifying the greatest Super Bowl performance ever, with 6 receptions for 200 yards and 3 TDs on offense, combined with 4 sacks on defense, 2 being safeties.
