The 2036 NAL postseason, retroactively referred to as the 2036 UL postseason and officially called the 2036 NAL Group Stage and Postseason Playoff, was the postseason tournament of the North American League's (NAL), now the United League's (UL) 2035–36 season. The postseason began on May 9, 2036, and ended on May 30 with Philadelphia SC winning their second Final. The 2036 NAL postseason was the first with the NAL's group stage format; the format was used from 2036 to 2077.

Format

[edit]

The 2036 NAL postseason consisted of the top twelve clubs in the North American League. The twelve clubs were put into groups of three based on where they finished in the standings. Every club in a group would play every other club once at a neutral site; the club with the most points would advance to a four-team playoff. In the playoff, the winner of Group A would play the winner of Group C and the winner of Group B would play the winner of Group C. The playoff was, in this year only, single-elimination in both rounds and was played at a neutral site; in 2036, all playoff games were played in Havana, Cuba.
