The Detroit Mustangs have captured the Central Division title, with a league best 104-64 record. The Chicago Storm (92-76) and the Baltimore Renegades (87-81) are both going to the playoffs as Wild Card teams.

The Western League has proven to be the weaker league this year, with the Houston Stars winning the Southwest Division with a 88-80 record. The San Jose Bees won the Western Division with a 89-79 record. The Fort Worth Cowboys have won the first Western League wild card spot with a 87-81 record.

The last wild card in the Western League will come down to a one-game playoff between the San Antonio Wranglers and the San Francisco Sky Sox, who both finished the season with an 84-84 record.
