The 1926 MAFA season was the 31st season of the Metropolitan Amateur Football Association (MAFA), an Australian rules football competition played in the state of Victoria. The season began on 1 May and concluded on 25 September, with 26 teams participating across three divisions under a promotion and relegation system.

This was the first MAFA season with three divisions, with C Section was established in response to an influx of new clubs.

Association membership

Eight clubs − Brunswick, Gardenvale-Middle Brighton, Geelong, Glen Huntly, Kew Juniors Sandringham Juniors, South Caulfield and St Paul's Ascot Vale − entered the MAFA in 1926. Gardenvale-Middle Brighton was renamed to Brightonvale (also spelt "Brighton Vale") prior to the start of the season. Old Melburnians and Teachers' College also entered second teams, just as Elsternwick had been fielding an "Elsternwick B" team since 1923.

Caulfield applied to return to the MAFA after being expelled during the 1925 season, but its application was refused.
