The Atlantic Coast Football League was a minor football league that operated from 1962 to 1973, with a one-year hiatus in 1972. Its member franchises were primarily located in the New England region, with other teams located in a few other states. The league operated with a single division in 1962 but moved to a two-division setup thereafter.
