The League for Clubs (TLfC) is excited to announce the clubs that will compete in the Gulf Coast Conference in 2026.
The conference will be made up of 10 teams, seven of which are returning from 2025. The 10 teams will be split into two divisions of five, West and East.
All four clubs that competed in last year’s Gulf Coast Conference postseason are returning, with defending champs Union 10 FC and Gaffa in the West Division and Pensacola FC and Tallahassee SC in the East Division. Three new clubs will join in 2026, including previously unannounced Legacy FC of Panama City, FL. Legacy FC currently fields a team in the WPSL and will join TLfC for the upcoming season.
2026 Gulf Coast Conference clubs - West Division:
- AFC Mobile (Mobile, AL)
- Gaffa FC (Jackson, MS)
- NOLA Ramparts FC (New Orleans, LA)
- Pensacola FC Academy (Pensacola, FL)
- Union 10 FC (Daphne, AL)
2026 Gulf Coast Conference clubs - East Division:
- Legacy FC (Panama City, FL)|
- Pensacola FC (Pensacola, FL)
- PSC Panama City Beach FC (Panama City Beach, FL)

Each club will play the other four clubs in their division once and two cross-division matches (one home, one away) to complete their 10-match regular season. The post-season format has not yet been officially confirmed.
The Gulf Coast Conference champion will play the winners of the South Texas Conference for the right to represent the South Region in the TLfC National Finals.
