The NOLA Gold host the New England Free Jacks in an Eastern Conference clash to finish the 2025 regular season for both sides!

The Free Jacks have guaranteed a home semifinal with a victory over the Seattle Seawolves last weekend, and are fielding a line-up with plenty of rotation. Are they resting their big guns, or trying out some new ideas? For the NOLA Gold, they know that this is the last game of their season, and will want to go out with a bang, especially if it means throwing a spanner in the works of their conference rivals. The Free Jacks need a win in this game to clinch 1st in the Eastern Conference following a Chigao Hounds win during the week. These teams have met 11 times in the past, with the Free Jacks holding a 7-4 series lead. Their most recent meeting was a narrow 35-31 victory for New England at home.

The New England Free Jacks secure 1st place in the Eastern Conference for the 4th straight season with a 17-21 road victory over the NOLA Gold to end their regular season. They will face the Miami Sharks next week in the Eastern Conference Semi-Final. The NOLA Gold finish a disappointing 2025 season with a 12th loss, and their focus turns to the off-season.
