Moggill FC leads Brisbane League 1 with 36 points from 18 games, ahead of Yeronga Eagles on 35 points and AC Carina on 33 points. Yeronga Eagles FC Under 23 tops the Brisbane Reserves Premier League with 30 points from 12 matches.

Why these results matter for community sport

These positions come from clubs that operate at the amateur level, where players balance matches with work and family commitments. Football Queensland has implemented new SEQ community league structures that include the Brisbane League, moving clubs into a single competition framework under the Future of Football 2020+ reforms.

Local organisations running weekly play

Urban Rec Brisbane runs social competitions in soccer, netball, basketball, pickleball and multisport at venues across the city. Beenleigh MultiSports Association Inc operates year-round social touch rugby and touch rugby league in Beenleigh. Arana United Futsal Club in Everton Hills provides winter and summer social futsal leagues for participants aged seven and older at the Hills District PCYC. The Brisbane Social Sport Group on Meetup organises netball, basketball, soccer and dodgeball sessions for community teams.

Season costs and participation details

Urban Rec Brisbane charges team fees from $349 to $1,099 for ten-week seasons that begin in late October 2025. These leagues accept players of all skill levels and report thousands of participants weekly. The Brisbane League standings and the Reserves Premier League table reflect the same pattern of regular, organised amateur fixtures that sit alongside these social options.

Players interested in joining can check current registration windows directly with Urban Rec Brisbane, Beenleigh MultiSports Association Inc, Arana United Futsal Club or the Brisbane Social Sport Group on Meetup for available teams and start dates.
