How To Qualify For NCAA Division 3 Football Playoffs
In 2024, a total of 40 teams will make the Division III football playoffs. The vast majority of the teams—28 in total—earn automatic bids by winning their respective conferences. All Division III conferences are considered except for the New England Small College Athletic Conference, which chooses not to participate in the Division 3 football playoffs.
In addition to the automatic bids, 12 teams receive at-large invitations. These are granted to teams that did not win their conference but still have strong records and resumes. Criteria like winning percentage, strength of schedule, and quality wins are considered.
In 2024, teams are to be divided into a new 40-team bracket. The playoff field is split into four regions, each consisting of 10 teams.
