Each division needs at least four teams to be viable. If teams withdraw after nominations close and fewer than four remain, TFA may modify or combine the division with another.

All Abilities has two kinds of player: Certified Athletes (athletes with a disability) and Non-Certified Athletes (without a disability). Tier 1 teams cannot have any Non-Certified Athletes and follow the 8th Edition Rules. Tier 2 and 3 teams are limited to two Non-Certified Athletes on the field and six in the squad. All Abilities divisions played on the first three days of the 2026 event.
