The league is divided into three conferences: Western, Central and Eastern. Every team will play 12 games consisting of six home games and six away games. The franchises will play their conference opponents twice while also playing interconference matchups. Every first place of each division will reach the playoffs, as well as the remaining three other best teams.

No. We are building on the European idea. In this way we want to bring football in Europeto a new sporting and economic level. However, the general conditions and players are completely different from back then. The European League of Football will have its own positioning and in the medium term it will spread throughout Europe. Every team will only be allowed to have four US-Imports on the gameday roster and two US-Imports on the field at the same time. Furthermore, six additional foreign players can be signed on the game day roster. The league is giving local players the chance to develop and play on a higher level to showcase their talent.

The European League of Football will play according to the rules of the NFL to increase the attractiveness of the game. We will adapt some of the existing NFL rules to the European conditions (Video review & Overtime Rule of the NCAA).

Currently, 17 teams from nine nations are preparing for the 2023 season. At the start are Berlin Thunder, Hamburg Sea Devils, Munich Ravens, Frankfurt Galaxy, Rhein Fire, Stuttgart Surge and Cologne Centurions (all Germany), the reigning champions Vienna Vikings and Raiders Tirol (both Austria), Barcelona Dragons and Madrid Bravos (Spain), Milano Seamen (Italy), Paris Musketeers (France), Panthers Wroclaw (Poland), Fehérvár Enthroners (Hungary), Prague Lions (Czech Republic) and Helvetic Guards (Switzerland).

The European League of Football has the goal to show the football fans European top football with top franchises. We want to stage the sport as an event that will get the media attention and distribution throughout Europe and the world that it really deserves. Football now has the chance to become more professional and to catchup with the most important sports in Europe.
