Due to the distance between teams, the Pacific Conference was split into two divisions. The North Division featured Crossfire Redmond, International Portland Select FC and OSA Seattle FC while the South Division included FC Arizona, Las Vegas Legends FC, and SC Brave Lions. Clubs played the other teams within their division three times each and two of the teams in the other division twice each. The top two teams from each group qualified for the playoffs and play one-another in the conference semifinals.
