🏉 THE ROAD TO THE MIDWEST TITLE STARTS NOW! 🏉

The regular season is in the books. The stakes are higher. And now, it’s win or go home.

The Midwest Rugby Union Men’s Division 3 and Division 4 Playoffs kick off THIS WEEKEND, October 17, as clubs from across the Midwest begin their quest for postseason glory!

🔥 MEN’S D3: SWEET 16. ONE GOAL.
Sixteen teams. Eight opening-round matchups. League rivals give way to cross-league battles as the top two teams from eight leagues collide. The road to the Midwest Championship runs through the Round of 16, Quarterfinals, and Semifinals — with a Midwest title and a National Championship Series opportunity on the line.

💥 MEN’S D4: THE CHASE FOR THE CROWN.
The Division 4 postseason is here, too! With top seeds earning opening-round byes, the Play-In Round brings critical matchups across the Central, CARFU, Iowa, and Minnesota leagues. Survive this weekend, and the road to the D4 crown gets even tougher.

Every tackle matters. Every breakdown counts. Every point could be the difference between moving on and going home.

The mission is simple: SURVIVE AND ADVANCE.

The journey continues through the Quarterfinals on October 24, Semifinals on November 7, and the Midwest Championship on November 14. One region. One championship stage. Nothing given — everything earned.

Who’s making a run? Who’s pulling the upset? And who will be left standing when the dust settles?

PLAYOFF RUGBY IS HERE. LET’S GET AFTER IT! 🏉🔥
