As the 2025 European League of Football season heads into Week 5, the competition is heating up — and so is the race for consistency. While the Vienna Vikings remain firmly at the top, several teams are starting to rise, fall, or find their identity. Here’s how all 16 teams stack up after an action-packed Week 4. 1. Vienna Vikings Previous Ranking: 1 The Vikings continue their dominant run, proving once again why they’re the team to beat. Their commanding win over the Raiders in the Battle of Austria leaves no doubt — Vienna stays at the top. 2. Stuttgart Surge Previous Ranking: 2 Sometimes a loss is a blessing in disguise. Since their opening defeat, the Surge have looked focused, polished, and powerful. They’re finally playing to their full potential. 3. Nordic Storm Previous Ranking: 3 Still unbeaten and coming off their bye week, the Storm remain steady at No. 3. With a red-hot QB, big-play receivers, and a stingy defense, their Week 5 matchup against Frankfurt will be a true test. 4. Frankfurt Galaxy Previous Ranking: 6 With three straight wins, the Galaxy are rising fast. Despite missing key starters, their backups stepped up against Cologne, keeping Frankfurt near the top of the standings. Watch all games with the ELF Game Pass! 5. Paris Musketeers Previous Ranking: 7 Paris impressed with a statement win over Rhein Fire. Their defense shined once again, but offensive inconsistencies remain. Their upcoming bye week gives them time to fine-tune. 6. Munich Ravens Previous Ranking: 5 The Ravens slide one spot after a tough loss to Stuttgart. Despite a strong finish, early mistakes cost them. A bounce-back performance against Helvetic is now a must. 7. Madrid Bravos Previous Ranking: 8 The Bravos continue to build momentum with another offensive explosion. Reid Sinnett and Aron Cruickshank are forming one of the league’s most dangerous duos. 8. Rhein Fire Previous Ranking: 4 Rhein Fire drops four spots after a tough showing against Paris. Offensive struggles and uncharacteristic errors exposed cracks. With key coaching changes, the team now needs to regroup fast. Watch the GAZi Hero Plays of the Week 4! 9. Hamburg Sea Devils Previous Ranking: 10 Hamburg impressed with a dominant win over Berlin. Their defense created four interceptions, and the offense found rhythm. A big test awaits in Week 5 against Rhein Fire. 10. Raiders Tirol Previous Ranking: 9 The Raiders drop one place after being outclassed in the Battle of Austria. With the run game shut down, their offense struggled. New QB N’Kosi Perry needs more time to sync. 11. Prague Lions Previous Ranking: 12 Prague’s growth is finally translating into wins. A strong all-around performance against Wroclaw shows this team is on the rise. Their Week 5 bye comes at a perfect time for adjustments. 12. Wroclaw Panthers Previous Ranking: 10 The Panthers fall after being overwhelmed by Prague. Issues on the offensive line continue to plague QB DJ Irons Jr., and their rushing attack remains ineffective. Get your tickets for all ELF games here! 13. Berlin Thunder Previous Ranking: 13 Berlin’s skid continues with a third straight loss. The offense needs a spark, and two new import signings aim to deliver just that. It’s a critical week for Thunder to bounce back. 14. Helvetic Mercenaries Previous Ranking: 14 Coming off a bye week, the Mercenaries now face the Munich Ravens. A good performance could finally give them a much-needed push up the rankings. 15. Fehérvár Enthroners Previous Ranking: 15 Despite showing flashes, Fehérvár continues to struggle on both sides of the ball. Missed tackles and inconsistent offense remain key issues. Improvement is needed fast. 16. Cologne Centurions Previous Ranking: 16 Still winless, but showing fight. Cologne continues to develop, and while the journey ahead is long, the team’s spirit could make them a surprise threat later in the season. Week 5 promises several key matchups that could shake up the standings even further. From top-tier clashes to redemption games, every team has something to prove — and everything to play for.

The late slate of the Week 4 matchups in the European League of Football had everything a football fan desires. A dominating offensive and defensive performance by the Frankfurt Galaxy and a close game between the Munich Ravens and the Stuttgart Surge.  Cologne Centurions AT Frankfurt Galaxy  Score: 15 -47  The Frankfurt Galaxy left no doubt in their dominant performance against the Cologne Centurions today in their Week 4 matchup. Frankfurt stormed out to a commanding 26-0 lead in the first half, completely controlling the game on both sides of the ball. The Centurions struggled heavily on offense, managing only two passing first downs and converting just 4 of 13 third downs – a clear sign of their inefficiency. Galaxy quarterback Matthew McKay delivered a solid performance, completing 15 of 23 passes for 170 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. However, the true standout of the game was running back Gerald Ameln, who exploded for 170 rushing yards and a touchdown on just 16 carries, averaging an incredible 10.63 yards per attempt. The Centurions had no answers defensively or offensively, and this lopsided loss will raise serious questions heading into the next week. Frankfurt, meanwhile, looked like a team on a mission.  Munich Ravens AT Stuttgart Surge  Score: 28 - 36  Stuttgart Surge came out firing in their matchup against the Munich Ravens, jumping to a quick 17-0 lead in the first quarter and setting the tone for the rest of the game. The Ravens appeared overwhelmed early but fought back with determination in the second half. Munich scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, showing flashes of their offensive potential, but it wasn’t enough to complete the comeback. The Surge defense stepped up when it mattered most, securing key stops and preserving their lead in the closing minutes. Offensively, Stuttgart executed efficiently and maintained control throughout the game despite late pressure from the Ravens. While Munich’s late rally demonstrated grit, their slow start proved too much to overcome. Stuttgart secured a hard-earned victory and showed they can start fast and finish strong – a promising sign for their goal in the 2025 season - a deep playoff run.  © Schrick / Frankfurt Galaxy

After an eventful third week in the European League of Football, it's time to take a fresh look at how the teams stack up. From championship rematches to dominant shutouts, Week 3 delivered plenty of storylines that shaped this updated Power Ranking. 1. Vienna Vikings Previous Ranking: 2 The Vienna Vikings got their revenge for the 2024 Championship Game by defeating Rhein Fire with an impressive defensive performance. Holding Fire to just 7 points, the Vikings proved they are currently the hottest team in the league. 2. Stuttgart Surge Previous Ranking: 4 Stuttgart bounced back strong after their Week 2 loss by dominating the Hamburg Sea Devils. Scoring in all three phases and shutting down the Sea Devils’ dangerous run game, Surge made a powerful statement. 3. Nordic Storm Previous Ranking: 5 The Nordic Storm are now 3-0 in their debut season — joining the Vikings and Munich Ravens as the only undefeated teams. Their defense was lights out in Week 3, shutting out Berlin in their first-ever home game. Now, they can rest during their well-earned bye week. 4. Rhein Fire Previous Ranking: 1 Fire drop after a frustrating offensive showing against the Vikings, scoring just one touchdown. They’ve only played two games so far, but their 24 total points is a far cry from the explosive Fire we’ve seen in previous seasons. 5. Munich Ravens Previous Ranking: 6 Even with a bye week, the Ravens rise in the rankings. Their physical defense and big-play offense have impressed, and they’ll get a real test in Week 4 when they take on Stuttgart Surge. 6. Frankfurt Galaxy Previous Ranking: 7 A last-second field goal gave Frankfurt the edge over Paris. Matthew McKay and the offense were explosive early, while the defense dominated for most of the game. Though they nearly let it slip away, Galaxy showed they can contend with the league’s best. 7. Paris Musketeers Previous Ranking: 3 Despite a late comeback, the Musketeers' offense struggled for most of the game. Their defense couldn’t hold Frankfurt early either. They’ll need to find consistency on both sides to rise again. 8. Madrid Bravos Previous Ranking: 8 The Bravos earned their second win of the season, but defensive issues remain. They’ve now given up 35+ points in two straight games. Until their defense improves, it’s hard to rank them any higher. Watch the Top 10 Plays of Week 3 here! 9. Raiders Tirol Previous Ranking: 10 The Raiders continue to lean on their dominant run game and defense. Even without Conor Miller, they cruised to victory in Week 3. With N’Kosi Perry back under center, they’ll face their biggest test yet in the “Battle of Austria” vs. Vienna. 10. Wroclaw Panthers Previous Ranking: 9 The Panthers slide one spot during their bye week, as the Raiders earned another win and added a new QB. Wroclaw will need to prove themselves again in Week 4 against Prague. 11. Hamburg Sea Devils Previous Ranking: 11 Hamburg stay in the same spot despite a tough loss to Stuttgart. Most of the points they allowed came from self-inflicted mistakes. If they can clean those up, they have the tools to climb. 12. Prague Lions Previous Ranking: 13 Prague earn their first win and move up a spot. Adam Zouzelka stood out on offense, but QB Javarian Smith still struggles to get the passing game going. Week 4 vs. Wroclaw is a key test. 13. Berlin Thunder Previous Ranking: 12 Thunder drop after a shutout loss to Nordic Storm. The injuries to Bryce Goggin and Jakeb Sullivan make things even tougher. They need a strong showing in Week 4 to bounce back. 14. Helvetic Mercenaries Previous Ranking: 14 The Mercenaries are still searching for their first win, but at least the offense showed signs of life with 35 points. The defense, however, remains a concern — allowing 44+ points in every game. 15. Fehérvár Enthroners Previous Ranking: 15 With QB Brock Domann on IR, homegrown Máté Hegedüs is leading the offense. New imports Jon Cole and Rashad Still give him weapons, but we still need to see results before they rise. 16. Cologne Centurions Previous Ranking: 16 Cologne stay at the bottom. The QB situation remains unclear, and the defense has struggled all season. They'll need big changes to escape the basement. As we head into Week 4, the league is beginning to take shape — but with key matchups ahead, expect more movement in the Power Rankings soon. Don't miss a single game - Get your Game Pass now!

The Cologne Centurions are making moves after a tough start to the season. Following the injury of A-import Shedrick Kirk, who has been placed on Injured Reserve, the team has added a new defensive back to strengthen their secondary. Experienced and versatile defender The Centurions have signed Juan Lua, a talented and versatile defensive back who played college football at UMass. Lua had a strong senior season in 2023, appearing in all 12 games and making an impact on both defense and special teams. He recorded 23 tackles, two interceptions, and led the team with five pass breakups, earning him a spot on the College Football Network All-Independent Second Team for both categories. Lua, originally from Xavier Prep, was a multi-sport athlete in high school and earned All-CIF and all-league honors as a team captain. Lua will now face a big challenge right away, as his first game with the Centurions comes in Week 4 against the high-powered Frankfurt Galaxy offense. Cologne will count on his experience to help stabilize the defensive unit moving forward. Don't miss a single game - Get your Game Pass now!

Week 3 of the European League of Football is here! We already saw a lot of highlights in the first two weeks of the season. Here is a recap of the second game of Week 3. Raiders Tirol at Cologne Centurions  Score: 68-0 With a temporary quarterback, but without any trouble: The Raiders Tirol beat the Cologne Centurions on Saturday easily. As main quarterback Connor Miller will have to take at least three weeks off after his injury from the last game, captain Adrian Platzgummer once again took on the role of playmaker - as he did against the Helvetic Mercenaries.  The Austrian franchise established dominance early, leading 45–0 at halftime. Running back Tobias Bonatti contributed significantly on the ground with over 100 ruhsing yards for a second week in a row. Overall, the Raiders amassed 362 total yards, including 208 rushing yards; in the first half alone! ​ The Centurions struggled offensively, managed only 40 total yards in the first half while throwing three interceptions. Quarterback Leuker completed 2 of 9 passes for 20 yards, and the team’s rushing attack was limited to 11 yards in the first half with no points on the board. Despite trying to get back into the game during the second half, the deficit from the first half proved to be too much to turn around against a dominating Raiders defense.​ Adrian Platzgummer: "I think it was a good performance from everyone and we can be quite satisfied. It was a big change for me - the preparation was completely different and I haven't been this nervous for a long time. It was an unfamiliar situation." This victory propels the Raiders Tirol closer to be in the playoff conversations this season after a 2-1 start! © Nico Jöhnk

As we head into Week 3 of the European League of Football, every game starts to matter more. Saturday brings four exciting matchups across the league, featuring teams still looking for their first win, key injury replacements, and battles that could shape the playoff race early in the season. Prague Lions at Fehérvár Enthroners - 15:00 CET Who Gets Their First Win? Both the Lions and the Enthroners are still searching for their first victory of the 2025 season. This game is a must-win for both sides. The Prague Lions suffered a tough loss against the Sea Devils in Week 2. Poor discipline and a weak run defense led to their defeat. The Enthroners, meanwhile, were beaten badly by the Vienna Vikings and lost their starting quarterback Brock Domann to injury. Now, homegrown quarterback Máté Hegedüs will step up and try to lead his team to their first win in front of their home fans. Raiders Tirol at Cologne Centurions - 17:00 CET Time to Respond The Raiders bounced back in Week 2 with a big win over the Helvetic Mercenaries, even after losing their quarterback Conor Miller early in the game. Their running backs carried the offense and dominated. The Centurions had a bye in Week 2, giving them extra time to prepare. After their heavy Week 1 loss to the Berlin Thunder, they are ready to respond and show that they belong in the competition. Get your tickets for all ELF games here! Stuttgart Surge at Hamburg Sea Devils - 18:00 CET A Test of Strength Stuttgart Surge wants to bounce back after their surprising loss to Paris in Week 2, where their offense struggled for the first time this season. Their strong defense will be tested again, this time by the Sea Devils' powerful rushing attack and new quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa. Hamburg is coming off a big win and will try to prove they are a real playoff contender in their first home game. Helvetic Mercenaries at Madrid Bravos - 20:00 CET Back on Track? The Mercenaries are still trying to find their rhythm. Too many penalties, timing issues in the passing game, and an inconsistent defense have cost them so far. Madrid Bravos, on the other hand, want to recover from their Week 2 shootout loss against the Frankfurt Galaxy and move back to a winning record. While Madrid is the favorite, the Mercenaries will fight hard and won’t make it easy. Plenty of action, strong matchups, and exciting storylines await this Saturday. With key games all day long, fans won't want to miss a minute of Week 3. Don't miss a single game - Get your Game Pass now!

Two weeks into the 2025 ELF season, the competition is heating up. With statement wins, surprising upsets, and a few injury setbacks, the power balance across the league is beginning to take shape. Here’s how all 16 teams stack up heading into Game Week 3. 1. Rhein Fire Previous Ranking: 2 Despite having a bye week, Rhein Fire move up one spot thanks to the Surge’s loss. They’ll return in Week 3 with a huge showdown against the Vikings — a rematch of last season’s Championship Game. 2. Vienna Vikings Previous Ranking: 3 The Vikings took care of business against the Enthroners. With two wins inside their division, they now prepare for their toughest challenge yet: Rhein Fire. They’ll be looking for revenge. 3. Paris Musketeers Previous Ranking: 5 Paris showed just how strong their defense can be, shutting out the high-powered Surge offense. Now it’s time for the offense to prove itself too. 4. Stuttgart Surge Previous Ranking: 1 After an impressive Week 1, the Surge fall to fourth following a disappointing performance on offense. Their defense still looked elite, but now the offense must bounce back. 5. Nordic Storm Previous Ranking: 4 Even with a strong win over Wroclaw, Nordic Storm drop one spot due to Paris' big result. Still, they remain one of the top teams in the league. A win against Berlin Thunder in Week 3 could reinforce that. 6. Munich Ravens Previous Ranking: 8 Rookie QB Russell Tabor proved the doubters wrong with a stellar outing in the win over Berlin. The Ravens head into their bye week with strong momentum. 7. Frankfurt Galaxy Previous Ranking: 9 Galaxy dominated on the ground against the Bravos and scored a big win in a shootout. If they can beat the Musketeers in Week 3, they’ll continue to climb. 8. Madrid Bravos Previous Ranking: 7 Madrid drop one spot after losing to Frankfurt. While the offense showed potential, defensive struggles and too many penalties cost them. 9. Wroclaw Panthers Previous Ranking: 6 The Panthers looked good in stretches, but couldn’t keep up with the Storm for four full quarters. For now, they land in the middle of the pack. 10. Raiders Tirol Previous Ranking: 10 The Raiders earned a dominant win over the Mercenaries, but lost their starting QB Conor Miller to injury. His health will be key going forward. 11. Hamburg Sea Devils Previous Ranking: 11 Hamburg picked up their first win of the season behind a strong running game and tough defense. With new QB Taulia Tagovailoa set to debut in Week 3, they could move up quickly if they perform well. 12. Berlin Thunder Previous Ranking: 12 Berlin struggled against the Ravens and lost RB Gennadiy Adams to injury. They’ll need a bounce-back performance in Week 3 against the Nordic Storm. 13. Prague Lions Previous Ranking: 13 Discipline issues and penalties hurt Prague again in their loss to Hamburg. The potential is there, but they need to clean things up — starting in Week 3 vs. the Enthroners. 14. Helvetic Mercenaries Previous Ranking: 14 The Mercenaries were outmatched against the Raiders and struggled on both sides of the ball. They’ll need a major improvement to avoid falling further behind. 15. Fehérvár Enthroners Previous Ranking: 15 Another tough loss for the Enthroners, who haven’t shown much improvement yet. With QB Brock Domann now on IR, homegrown Máté Hegedüs will get his shot under center in Week 3. 16. Cologne Centurions Previous Ranking: 16 Still at the bottom, the Centurions had a bye week and now prepare to face the Raiders in Week 3. Time to prove what they’ve learned. As Game Week 3 approaches, expect more big matchups, potential shake-ups, and players looking to make their mark. The road to the Championship Game in Stuttgart is still long — but the stakes are already rising. Don't miss a single game - Get your Game Pass now!

Week 1 of the 2025 European League of Football season is done — and what a start it was! We saw dominant wins, close battles, and some surprising performances. It’s still early in the season, and every team has many games left to play, but here’s where I rank each team going into Week 2, and why: 1. Stuttgart Surge The Surge looked strong on both sides of the ball in their win over Frankfurt Galaxy. Over 400 total offensive yards and only 240 yards allowed on defense — a complete performance. They won the battle at the line of scrimmage and showed they’re ready for another big season. Penalties remain their biggest issue. An overall strong performance showcases their talent, which is why they are also the top team in my power rankings. 2. Rhein Fire Rhein Fire came out on top in a hard-fought defensive battle against the Paris Musketeers. Their defensive line was impressive — maybe even stronger than last season’s. Offensively, not everything clicked, but new dual-threat QB Chad Jeffries adds another dimension to their game. 3. Vienna Vikings The Vikings earned a clear 28–6 win over the Prague Lions. WR Yannick Mayr adds even more depth to an already dangerous receiver group and shined on special teams, too. A solid performance overall, with room to grow. The talent on the roster is definitely worthy of a top-three ranking. Don't miss a single game - Get your Game Pass now! 4. Nordic Storm A strong debut from the new team! QB Jadrian Clark threw five touchdown passes, and the team rushed for 276 yards. The defense added four sacks and even a pick-six. Now the big question: Can they compete with the top teams? 5. Paris Musketeers Their narrow loss to Rhein Fire showed the team’s potential, especially on defense. But issues in the offensive line, including six sacks and multiple bad snaps, need to be fixed fast. The talent is clearly there. 6. Wroclaw Panthers Wroclaw impressed in all three phases of the game against the Enthroners. QB DJ Irons Jr. threw for three TDs and ran for two more. RB Dawid Brzozowski added 113 rushing yards. The defense had five sacks and a pick-six, and the return game was dangerous all day. The Munich Ravens present a true tough test for the Panthers in week 2. 7. Madrid Bravos Madrid started their ELF journey with a win over Hamburg, but the offense still needs time to find its rhythm. QB Reid Sinnett and his receivers are not yet in sync — but they still managed to get the W. If they can establish the running game, they could become a tough challenge for the top teams. 8. Munich Ravens Munich won a tough defensive game against the Raiders. Their run game worked well, but the passing game is a concern. Young QB Russell Tabor completed under 50% of his passes and threw two interceptions. Still, the defense showed they can compete with anyone. If Tabor shows an improved performance in Week 2, a jump into the Top 5 is definitely possible. 9. Frankfurt Galaxy Frankfurt had a tough first matchup against the Surge. They struggled to pressure the QB and couldn’t match the Surge offensively. WR Terry Wright didn’t make much impact in the passing game but showed his speed on special teams. In the game against the Madrid Bravos, they need to prove themselves and show that they can compete with the top teams. Get your tickets for the 2025 Championship Game in Stuttgart! 10. Raiders Tirol The Raiders were limited to just 58 rushing yards — surprising for one of the best RB groups in the league. QB Conor Miller had an average game with only 21 completions on 38 attempts. Their defense was solid, but the offense must improve. In the game against the Mercenaries, the Raiders need to make a strong statement and show that they are a playoff team. 11. Hamburg Sea Devils Hamburg gave Madrid a good fight and surprised many with their strong defense. RBs Chrisman Kyei and Lucas Candido looked solid. However, penalties and special teams mistakes — including just 2 of 5 field goals made — hurt their chances. 12. Berlin Thunder A huge win for Berlin with seven passing touchdowns from QB Jakeb Sullivan and over 570 total yards. But it’s important to stay grounded — their Week 2 matchup against the strong Ravens defense will be the real test. 13. Prague Lions Prague kept things close with Vienna in the first half and showed improvement from last season. Their passing game struggled, and they only converted 2 of 13 third downs. Still, there’s potential in this team what they can prove against the Sea Devils in Week 2. 14. Helvetic Mercenaries The Mercenaries lost 12–56 to Nordic Storm but had some good moments, especially from QB Isaiah Weed, who had a 69-yard rushing touchdown. More consistency is needed, and their Week 2 matchup against the Raiders won’t be easy. 15. Fehérvár Enthroners A tough loss against Wroclaw. The special teams gave up too many big returns, and the offensive line allowed five sacks. Things need to change fast, with the Vienna Vikings up next. 16. Cologne Centurions Cologne had a rough start against Berlin, allowing nine touchdowns. The young team showed flashes, especially with a 92-yard TD pass from QB Jan Leuker to Austin Osborne. Their upcoming bye week comes at a perfect time to regroup. The season is just beginning, and things can change quickly. Let’s see who rises and who falls in next week’s power ranking!

RB2: Gennadiy Adams, Berlin Thunder (23.90 Points) Adam's ran for 66 yards on only 11 carries reaching the endzone once. He also added a receiving touchdown on two catches for 33 yards. WR1: Bryce Goggin, Berlin Thunder (41.60 Points) Goggin introduced himself to the ELF with a monster performance catching 7 passes for 166 yards and two scores. Goggin created several huge plays and seems to be the go-to guy for Sullivna moving forward in Berlin.  WR2: Brendan Beaulieu, Nordic Storm (32.90 Points) In Beaulieu's first ELF game he caught 9 passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns as he helped the Nordic Storm roll to a big road victory in thier team's first ever game. TE: Adria Botello Moreno, Nordic Storm (18.50 Points) Another member of the Storm on this list is veteran Botello Moreno. The Spanish veteran scored two touchdowns on only 4 catches finishing the game with only 25 yards, but two touchdowns.  Flex: Auston Osborne, Cologne Centurions (30.90 Points) The former Bowling Green standout was maybe the only silver lining for Cologne in this game. The ex-D1 pass catcher hauled in 8 passes for 169 yards and a score of 92 yards in his first ELF game.  Kicker: Mathy's Dupoint, Paris Musketeers & Timo Bronn, Stuttgart Surge (9 Points) Both kickers looked great in week one hitting field goals in key spots for thier team. Dupont hit three short field goals vs the Rhein Fire while Bronn hit two field goals and 3 extra points in his return to the Surge.  Defense/Special teams: Wroclaw Panthers (30 Points) The Panthers held the Enthroners too only 12 points in a resounding week one win. Panthers defensive back Devan Burrell scored twice once on a kick return and again on a interception return for maybe the play off the week.

The season has started, the first matchday is over. Some teams have started with a defeat, others with a win. How do the results affect the winning in season opening games? Note: Since not all teams have been part of the European League of Football since 2021, not every team has played the same number of opening games. Therefore, the sorting is based on the percentage of success.  Some fans must be very strong now. Four franchises have not been able to win any of their season-opening games yet. Frankfurt Galaxy (2021: L, 2022: L, 2023: L, 2024: L. 2025 L) Fehérvár Enthroners (2023: L, 2024: L, 2025: L) Prague Lions (2023: L, 2024: L, 2025: L) Helvetic Mercenaries (2023: L, 2024: L, 2025: L) After the clear defeat against Berlin Thunder, the success rate of the Cologne Centurions has changed. Cologne Centurions (2021: L, 2022: W, 2023: L, 2024: L, 2025: L)   Good news for the Munich Ravens. In this year, they were able to win their first season opening game.  Munich Ravens (2023: L, 2024: L, 2025: W) The Berlin Thunder improved their position with a clear 63:14 victory against the Cologne Centurions in Week 1. Berlin Thunder (2021: L, 2022: L, 2023: W, 2024: L, 2025: W) The narrow and tough 12-13 defeat against the Madrid Bravos caused the Hamburg Sea Devils to slip from 75 to 60 percent. Hamburg Sea Devils (2021: W, 2022: W, 2023: L, 2024: W, 2025: L) Not the start to the season the Raiders had hoped for. After the loss to the Munich Ravens, they were only able to win half of their season opening games. Raiders Tirol  (2022: L, 2023: W, 2024: W, 2025: L) We have made it past the halfway mark. For the first time, the Musketeers were unable to win their first game of the season. They were only two points away from a win against champions Rhein Fire. Paris Musketeers (2023: W, 2024: W, 2025: L) We are getting closer to perfection. Nevertheless, there have been defeats. But in this year, Stuttgart Surge won their Opening Game against Frankfurt Galaxy. Stuttgart Surge (2021: W, 2022: L, 2023: W, 2024: W, 2025 W)   Let's move on to the elite. Fans of these five teams were also able to see an opening game victory in this year. Wroclaw Panthers (2021: W, 2022: W, 2023: W, 2024: W, 2025: W) Vienna Vikings (2022: W, 2023: W, 2024: W, 2025: W) Rhein Fire (2022: W, 2023: W, 2024: W, 2025: W) Madrid Bravos (2024: W, 2025: W) Nordic Storm (2025: W) Don't miss a single ELF Game - get your Game Pass!

Season five of the European League of Football is finally here! Saturday already showed exciting matches and many highlights. Sunday also remained exciting. A look at the early games. Watch all plays live with the ELF Game Pass on DAZN! Raiders Tirol @ Munich Ravens: 7:20 The Raiders Tirol wanted revenge after losing to the Munich Ravens in Week 14 of last season. That loss ended their playoff hopes. But this time, they lost again. The Munich Ravens won the first game of the 2025 season in a hard-fought defensive game. Strong Tabor and defense Young quarterback Russell Tabor played his first ELF game for the Ravens — and won. He had some problems in the passing game, with less than 50% of his passes completed and 2 interceptions. But when it mattered most, he made big plays. He scored one touchdown with a run and threw for two more. Both defenses played very well. They made life hard for the quarterbacks. The Ravens’ defense stopped Raiders QB Connor Miller and also controlled the strong running game of Tirol. The Raiders had more time with the ball but only managed 269 total yards. Ravens offense more dangerous Even though it was a tough game, the Ravens were more productive. They had over 400 total offensive yards. Key players like Justin Rodney and Malik Stanley made big plays to help the Ravens win this important interdivisional game. Next game: Big challenge vs. Berlin Thunder In Week 2, the Ravens will face another tough opponent: the Berlin Thunder. Berlin started the season strong with a big win over the Cologne Centurions. It will be exciting to see how the Ravens perform next week. Watch the Raiders at Ravens highlights here! Cologne Centurions @ Berlin Thunder: 14:63 Berlin Thunder make an impressive start to the new season against the Cologne Centurions. A special victory, especially for Head Coach Jag Ball, who was still coaching the Centurions on the sidelines in 2024. With a good game plan, the experienced coach gave his opposite number, Javan Lenhardt, no chance. A strong Jakeb Sullivan played a key role in this. The 2024 ELF passing leader picked up right where he left off last season. The A-import scored 44 yards with his very first pass and broke the 100 passing yards mark already before the end of the first quarter. The 30-year-old completed 22 of his 24 passes and scored a total of 413 passing yards and seven touchdowns. Watch the Centurions at Thunder highlights here! On the other side, the game came too early for new Centurions quarterback Keegan Mccormack-Reamer. He was replaced by Homegrowns QB Jan Leuker, who had to fight against a strong Thunder defense. His highlight: a long pass to wide receiver Austine Osborne for 92 yards and a touchdown. Good news for the Centurions: The team already has a bye week next week and can, after the eventful days shortly before the start of the season, further deepen the game plan and integrate their new quarterback.

As part of our preview series for all 16 teams in the European League of Football heading into the 2025 season, we turn our spotlight to the Cologne Centurions. Due to many departures, the front office had to rebuild the team from the ground. American Imports – Last minute QB chance Shortly before the start of the season, there will be very important change at the playmaker position for Cologne. In the offseason, college star Jeremy Moussa was introduced as starting quarterback. He was supposed to follow in the footsteps of Isaiah Weed, who had moved to the Helvetic Mercenaries. But that will not happen. There were several points on which the opinions of Moussa and the team did not match, which is why both sides decided to part ways quickly.  Just one day before the start of the season, a new US import, Keegan McCormack-Reamer, was introduced. The talented signal caller already spent last season in Germany with the Münster Blackhawks. In the United States, he played at Virginia University of Lynchburg and took part in the 2023 NFL Draft. After the short-term acquisition, however, he will probably need some time to get used to his new team and the game plan. Also new to the team is wide receiver Austine Osborne. The US American played four seasons at NCAA Division 1 colleges University of Washington and Bowling Green State University, where he was named first-team All-County twice. In 2024, he moved to Europe to play for the Berlin Rebels in the German Football League. Osborne is a physical receiver who could become important, especially on short routes. However, he is not the explosive deep threat that Carlos Hill was last season.  Keegan McCormack-Reamer ©Münster Blackhawks/Olaf Kerber. Plenty of power in the Centurions' defensive line There are also new faces in the defensive line. Firstly, E-import Jai-Albert Jackson has arrived. The Brit already knows Cologne well. He played for the Centurions in 2023 and started ten games this season. He also played for Stuttgart Surge and the Barcelona Dragons, where he made his big breakthrough. Because in Spain he didn't play as a defensive end, but as an outside linebacker.  A position that Jackson is much better suited to, especially due to his explosiveness, speed, and athleticism. It will be interesting to see whether the Centurions use him as an edge rusher or as an outside linebacker, as it was previously the case. A decision that could also influence Alex Alteus. The new A-import is also a good pass rusher, with speed and power. However, Alteus is more of a defensive end than a linebacker. In the United States, Alteus played for several universities, gaining valuable experience as a defensive player. Most recently, he played for Eastern Illinois University and Stetson University. Alex Alteus ©Stetson University Athletics Homegrown Heros - talent meets experience In addition to exciting newcomers such as Anakin Ates, Maximilian Weitz and Flemming Friesen, the Centurions will also feature experienced German ELF players. Kicker Jens Appelt is entering his fourth season, just like safety Efekan Akgün. Backfield mate Richard Grooten is already entering his fifth season in the league. The 31-year-old began his ELF career with the Centurions and then moved to Rhein Fire, where he became champion in 2023. He returned to Cologne in 2024, where he immediately took on an important starting role.      Coaching staff - Old friend and familiar faces The Centurions are also relying on a new head coach. Javan Lenhardt was already active as a coach with the Cologne Centurions in 2021 and 2022, back then as defensive coordinator. He then coached the Frankfurt Galaxy defensive backs. He will be supported by Offensive Coordinator Quinten Pounds, who played for the Centurions himself from 2021 to 2022 as Wide Receiver. Javan Lenhardt ©Löwer First winning season for the Cologne Centurions? An exciting season awaits the fans of the Cologne Centurions. Many things are new, but the hunger for victories is likely to remain the same. Reaching the playoffs would certainly be a surprise but is not impossible. After a 6-6 record in the previous season, the first positive ELF record in franchise history is a good goal for the 2025 season.  Watch ELF now on DAZN

The Cologne Centurions have signed quarterback Keegan Mccormack-Reamer. The ELF rookie comes in to replace Jeremy Moussa behind center just days before week one.  Mccormack-Reamer comes to the ELF after spending last season with Münster Blackhawks in Germany’s Regionalliga. The dual threat quarterback had a impressive 70% completion rate, throwing for 2,967 yards for the Blackhawks.  The 27-year-old has played for Virginia University of Lynchburg, Southwest Baptist University, and Mid-America Nazarene. He will look to build some chemistry with fellow American Austin Osborn and several European playmakers.  The Centurions take on the Berlin Thunder on the road this Sunday at 13 CET in Berlin.  Watch all the ELF games on DAZN

The time has finally come! The fifth season of the European League of Football is about to start. The time has finally come! Players, managers, and fans of Nordic Storm are certainly thinking the same thing. For the young franchise from Copenhagen, Denmark, May 18th, 2025 will be a very special day.  That's when Storm will not only play their first game in the European League of Football, but also their first game in franchise history. The team managers built an entire organization from scratch this offseason. The first success could be celebrated against the Helvetic Mercenaries.  However, a new ELF team was not always immediately successful in its first game in the European League of Football. We take a look at the first ELF games in the history of the current teams.  The Ferhévár Enthroners did not get off to a particularly good start. They opened the season with a clear 3:36 defeat at home against Berlin Thunder in 2023. The Wroclaw Panthers are the champions in season opening games. They haven't lost one yet, and accordingly won the first ELF game in franchise history. At home, the Panthers beat the Cologne Centurions 2021 in a spectacular game with 55:39.  The Prague Lions, on the other hand, suffered a defeat. They played their first ELF game at home in 2023. They lost 15:18 against the Leipzig Kings, who are no longer part of the ELF.  The last team in the East Division, however, was successful again. In 2022, the Vienna Vikings played away against the Raiders Tirol and won 29:23.     Berlin Thunder have been part of the ELF since 2021. They lost their first game at home 27:37 against the Leipzig Kings.  The Hamburg Sea Devils also started 2021, but they did a better job. In Hamburg, the Sea Devils beat Frankfurt Galaxy 17:15.  The current ELF champions Rhein Fire also won. In 2022, they also played their first game against Frankfurt Galaxy. Fire won 29:26 on the road.  The Helvetic Mercenaries lost their first game under their new name in 2024. The Barcelona Dragons won 23:19 in Switzerland. Madrid Bravos also competed in the ELF for the first time in 2024. The team from Spain won the Classico against the Barcelona Dragons by a clear 42:12.      The Munich Ravens, meanwhile, suffered a defeat at the start. They lost 38:59 at home against the Raiders Tirol in 2023. The Austrians were also unable to win their first game in 2022. The Raiders Tirol lost against the Vienna Vikings with 23:29. It was the only season opening game so far that was not won.  The Cologne Centurions have been part of the European League of Football since 2021. They lost their first game against the Wroclaw Panthers by a clear 39:55. Just like Frankfurt Galaxy. Only they didn't lose to the Panthers, but to the Sea Devils, and by a much narrower margin of 15:17. The Paris Musketeers have delighted their fans in two years in the ELF. This was also the case in the first franchise game in 2023, which they won 24:17 against the Cologne Centurions.  Stuttgart Surge were also successful in their first game, but in 2021. They won 21:17 away against Barcelona Dragons on the road. Don't miss a single ELF Game - get your Game Pass!

Every year in the European League of Football, big changes happen during the off-season. Teams build new rosters, hire new coaches, and prepare for a long, tough season. Now, with only a few days until the start of the 2025 ELF season, one thing is clear: the West Division is stacked with talent and full of exciting storylines. It's a division every fan should keep a close eye on this year — anything can happen! Don't miss a single game - Get your Game Pass now! Back to the top? The Frankfurt Galaxy are one of the most successful teams in ELF history. They won the league’s first championship in 2021 and had strong seasons in 2022 and 2023. But 2024 was a disappointment — the team ended with a 4-8 record. That’s why Frankfurt made big changes. Part-time coaches were replaced by full-time American coaches, and many new players joined the roster. The goal is clear: bring the Galaxy back to glory. Ready for the big stage The Paris Musketeers improved a lot in 2024. After a 6-6 record in their first ELF season, they came back much stronger last year. They lost only two regular-season games — both against Rhein Fire — and won their playoff wildcard game against the Munich Ravens. Their season ended in the semifinals, but they showed great fight. In 2025, with a new coaching staff and quarterback, Paris is ready to fight for a spot in the Championship Game. One step further? The Stuttgart Surge had a similar story to Paris. After tough first seasons, they made a big step forward in 2023 by reaching the ELF Championship Game. They lost that game to Rhein Fire, and in 2024, their season also ended in the semifinals — again, against Rhein Fire. Now, with a stronger and deeper roster, Stuttgart enters its fifth ELF season hoping to finally finish what they started. A new era begins Last season was a rollercoaster for the Cologne Centurions. They finished with a 6-6 record and went through many ups and downs. In the off-season, things got even wilder. A change in ownership brought some quiet weeks in player recruiting, but now the full roster is in place and the team is ready to go. The big question: will Cologne show a new, improved face on the field — or will the off-season chaos continue to affect their play? With fresh rosters, top coaches, and big goals, the West Division promises action-packed football from start to finish. Let the battle begin! Get your tickets for the 2025 season!

Take a closer look at the roster of the Cologne Centurions

The Cologne Centurions enter the 2025 season with several new faces around the franchise. From new owners, coaches, and even several new players. One new key piece for the Centurions is ELF “rookie” quarterback Jeremy “Moose” Moussa. Moussa takes over as QB1 of the Centurions in his first professional season. The California native has never played in Europe before, however he is well traveled having played for 3 different universities during his college career including Hawaii, Vanderbilt, and Florida A&M.  College career Moussa started his career in Hawaii with the Rainbow Warriors before transferring to Vanderbilt for two seasons. At both schools the former California high school football star played sparingly.  Things changed however in 2022, as “Moose” transferred to Florida A&M a historically black college playing in the FCS. There he immediately became the starter for two seasons throwing for 5,625 yards and 43 touchdowns over 23 career games for the Rattlers.  Championship resume Moussa’s 2023 season with the Rattlers was special as he led them to a 12-1 record winning the Celebration Bowl Championship. He also earned SWAC conference player of the year honors. Moussa sat down with us for a quick Q&A as he gets ready to lead the Cologne Centurions for the 2025 season.  How have you been adjusting to life in Germany? “I’ve been in Germany for three weeks now and the adjustment has been going really well. I’m settling in and getting more comfortable every day.” Why did you choose the Centurions? “I chose to play in Cologne because of the opportunity to join a great organization and be surrounded by a strong group of coaches and teammates. It felt like the right fit for me.” What are your first impressions of the team? “My first impression of the team is really positive. We’ve got a gritty group of guys who love to compete, and our coaching staff brings a lot of knowledge and experience. I’m excited to see how we grow together throughout the season.” "Off the field, adapting has been smooth. I’ve spent a lot of time in Europe over the years since my girlfriend’s family lives out here, so I’m familiar with the environment. I’m also rooming with my teammate Austin Osborne, who played in Berlin last season, which has made the transition even easier.” What excites you most about the upcoming season? “What excites me the most is that we’re being counted out by a lot of people. We’re going to have the chance to surprise them. I truly believe this group has something special.”Get Your Tickets to the 2025 ELF Championship Game!
