The Atlantic Football League (AFL) is an amateur club-level Canadian football league that features four teams based in Atlantic Canada.

The league is for players aged 18–24 that either attend universities without U Sports football programs or for players in the area.

Some players eventually join U Sports programs and all Canadian players are eligible to join Canadian Football League teams.

On June 9, 2020, the league announced that they had cancelled the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.

The finalists then qualify for the league championship game, the Moosehead Cup.
