Welcome to /r/IFAFootball

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was an espn, fs2, for cbssn deal

Is the end goal for this league trying to compete with what the European leagues doing but to a smaller scale? I also wonder why they’re not scheduling it right after the Super Bowl if they did a short season right after the Super Bowl it could act as a true feeder league to the ufl

Since the league has now released the majority of the schedule information, I have pieced together what the full schedule looks like based on what's been made available.

##Season Structure

The season will kickoff on May 31, 2025, and the regular season will end on August 2, 2025. Each team will play 8 games in the regular season, 4 at home and 4 away. The regular season will run 10 weeks, and every team will get at least 1 bye week (the Alabama Beavers and the Tampa Tornadoes will get 2 bye weeks). There will be 2 semi-final playoff games at the end of the regular season (the top two ranked teams in each division will qualify for the playoffs), and an IFA Championship game to end the postseason.

Further details are still to be released.

Games will all be played on Saturday nights (either a 6 pm or 7 pm start).

###Regular Schedule Projection

The following is as per the information released by the IFA so far regarding the schedule for the regular season.

####Week 1

####Week 2

####Week 3

####Week 4

####Week 5

####Week 6

####Week 7

####Week 8

####Week 9

####Week 10

Note: All times are assumed to be as per the local time zone of the game location. Dallas Pioneros stadium is supposedly De Soto High School but the official schedule information thus far lists this as "To Be Determined". There is no news yet on where the Ohio Valley Ironmen will play either. All game times not yet set are assumed to be either at 6 pm or 7 pm local time.

I will update this thread and the pinned information megathread when more information is released.

EDIT: Please note, the Tampa Tornadoes schedule and the Baltimore Lightning schedule contradict each other on the listing for July 26th. Baltimore lists this as a home game in Baltimore, and Tampa lists this as a home game in Tampa. I'm presuming the Tampa schedule is correct otherwise Baltimore gets 5 home games and Tampa only gets 3. Will continue updating as more info is released.

###Postseason Schedule Projection

####Semi-Finals

####IFA Championship

The 7 teams in the IFA will be divided into two divisions. We do not yet know what the division names or team alignments will be. It is presumed the 2nd place team in each division will travel to the 1st place team's home stadium for the semi-final round on August 9th. No announcement yet on where the IFA Championship game will be held.

I was wondering if there’s a list of players signed anywhere, I’m interested in the player type that this league will bring in. I assume it’ll mostly be really small school guys and current arena league players
