The 2026 American All-Conference Team is led by 13 selections from Navy , with UTSA (12), Memphis (12) and Temple (12) headlining the next tier of teams with the most picks on the all-conference squad.

With the release of the 2026 All-America Team and Athlon Sports 2026 College Football Preview Magazine , it's time to take a look at the best of the best and honor the top players in the league with a release of first, second, third and fourth all-conference teams for '26.

An important note on the all-conference teams:These are based on how players will perform in 2026. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2026 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year. Also, team strength does not play a role in selections. These are the best individual players at each position in the league for '26.
