The Empire Football League formally concluded its regular season schedule on September 19th. The playoff format will consist of the top 6 teams and playoffs are scheduled to start September 26th.
The Binghamton at Quebec game previously scheduled for August 8th was not played due to a scheduling mix-up. This game had previously been ruled as a game not played pending a decision at the September 20th Season Conclusion meeting. The EFL's Judiciary Committee officially ruled this game as a "no fault" forfeit awarding the win to the Quebec Titans.
This resulted in the following season ending records:
| W | ||||||
| 9 | 1 | 0 | 291 | 56 | 0.900 | |
