NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Arena Football One unveiled its official 2026 playoff and Arena Crown logos Monday as the league prepares for the postseason.

The playoff logo features a silver football silhouette with the league’s navy and red colors. The design also includes “2026” markers and a winged-star foundation.

The Arena Crown logo, which will represent the league championship, features a gold crown decorated with multicolored jewels representing AF1’s member teams. A ruby-red “2026” is positioned at the center of the crest, which is surrounded by a diamond-styled outer ring.

"The postseason is where legends are made, and our fan engagement data tells us that the AF1 community's excitement is currently tracking at an all-time high," said Jared DeGroff, AF1's VP of Marketing and Communications. "We wanted to deliver branding that matches the intensity of our players and the passion of our fans. The new playoffs and Arena Crown logos do exactly that. They are bold, majestic, and undeniably AF1."

AF1 also announced it will partner with sports apparel company Retro Royals on a line of merchandise featuring the playoff and Arena Crown logos. The online playoff shop is expected to open in the coming weeks, before the start of the postseason.
