AFL North East Border (AFLNEB) can confirm the following Player Points System (PPS) and Allowable Player Payment (APP) Caps for the 2026 season across the region.
Each year AFLNEB reviews, seeks feedback from leagues and sets the Total Team Points (TTP) and APP Caps for each league within the region.
Looking ahead to the 2026 season, there will be no change to the TTP structures that were implemented in the region in 2025, with the Ovens and Murray FNL (OMFNL), Tallangatta and District FL (TDFL) and Ovens and King FNL (OKFNL) continuing with the sliding scale system into a second year.
As part of the process, several leagues requested increases to their APP caps across the North East Border region, with AFLNEB confirming increases of between five to six per cent across the OMFNL, TDFL and OKFNL caps, while the Upper Murray FNL will remain as per the 2025 season.
Clubs now have the ability to apply for individual increases to their APP and TTP caps for the 2026 season as per the relevant policies and AFLNEB By-Laws, with applications reviewed and considered against the criteria, and each individual clubs circumstances taken into account.
