The 2009 BAFL Season is the 23rd season of the British American Football League (BAFL), the primary American football league of the United Kingdom. The season began in BAFL Division Two with the Highland Wildcats at Clyde Valley Blackhawks on April 12, 2009 and culminates with Britbowl XXIII, the BAFL Premier Division's championship game. Fifty teams will compete in the 2009 Regular Season, a milestone not achieved by the BAFL since the 1996 season.

Teams
The BAFL's Premier Division for the 2009 season comprises five teams; this was due to the late withdrawal of the London Olympians shortly before the start of the 2008 season, together with the voluntary withdrawal of the East Kilbride Pirates, and the relegation of the Birmingham Bulls and Gateshead Senators following their failure to fulfill all of their fixtures the previous season. BAFL Division One has been expanded into nineteen teams for the 2009 season. The East Kilbride Pirates have joined the Northern Conference while the 2008 Division Two champion London Cobras as well as the Cambridgeshire Cats, Tamworth Phoenix, South Wales Warriors, Kent Exiles, Peterborough Saxons and Nottingham Caesars have been promoted to the Southern Conference.

Regular Season Schedule and Results
The 2009 Regular Season schedules were released on January 19, 2009 via the BAFL website.
