League notes and format
The league sees the return of all four of last season's teams, but the Valley Warriors were unable to field a team in 2026 after spending the 2025 season merged with the Point Grey Thunder as the Valley Grey Thunderwahs. RLBC 9s will kick off the season, with Brockton Oval as the host of the tournament.[1][2]
This season's premiership format will see the four teams play a double-round-robin.
For the playoffs, the minor premiers advance to the grand final against the winner of the semi-final between the 2nd and 3rd.
