Full roster information can be found in the Game Center page for each game. Here are the headlines of the actives and inactives for Championship Weekend, sorted alphabetically by team.

Austin Sol

  • Connor DeLuna, Brandon Dial, and Duncan Fitzgerald are listed as Questionable. A former league All-Star, DeLuna is tied for the team lead with 12 blocks this season. Dial (nine blocks this season) and Fitzgerald (second on the team in completions per game) both played in the South Championship vs. Carolina, though Dial left the game in the fourth quarter due to injury. 

  • Jackson Potts will play his second game of the season after making his 2026 debut in the South Division Championship Game. Potts tied for a game-high with four assists, and he finished second on Austin behind Kyle Henke in total yards in his first game back. 

Minnesota Wind Chill

  • Kristian Johnson is listed as Dressed; he’s completed 95 percent of his throws this year and has tossed 24 assists, tied for third most on the team. 

  • Thomas Shope is active for the first time since early June. At 2025 Championship Weekend, Shope played a 60-40 split of O- and D-points and threw two assists, scored four goals, and recorded two blocks in two games. 

  • After playing a key role for Minnesota at each of the last three Championship Weekends, Tristan Van De Moortele is inactive for this week. He’s battled injuries this season, and has been out of the lineup since mid June.

New York Empire
