Week 5 Top Matchups: Key games for playoff contenders
Week 5 of the European League of Football brings some exciting games with big playoff implications. Three key matchups stand out, each offering answers about who is ready to compete at the top level this season.
Hamburg Sea Devils at Rhein Fire – Saturday, 18:00 CET
This is an important test for both teams. The Hamburg Sea Devils travel to Düsseldorf with confidence after their strong 31–14 win over Berlin Thunder. Their offense looked sharp, and their defense delivered a standout performance with four interceptions and three sacks.
For Rhein Fire, this is their first North Division game of the season — and a must-win. After two straight losses and a struggling offense, Fire made a coaching change: Offensive Coordinator Ed Warinner is out, and Wide Receiver Coach Mario Schulz is now calling plays. Head Coach Richard Kent said it clearly: “We have to finish our plays.”
If Fire loses, they would fall to 1–3, making a playoff push much harder.

Frankfurt Galaxy at Nordic Storm – Sunday, 13:00 CET
This could be a preview of a future playoff game. Frankfurt Galaxy comes in on a three-game win streak, including victories over strong teams like Madrid and Paris. Their offense has been balanced, and their defense consistent.
The Nordic Storm, still undefeated, had a bye in Week 4 and used the time to fully prepare for this top-tier matchup. Their offense has been explosive, and their defense has made big plays. This game will show how far both teams can go this season.

Madrid Bravos at Raiders Tirol – Sunday, 16:25 CET
Two very different styles meet in this matchup. The Madrid Bravos rely on their passing attack, led by QB Reid Sinnett and WR Aron Cruickshank. Their defense is improving week by week.
For the Raiders Tirol, the run game is their strength. But in last week’s loss to the Vikings, their offense struggled when the run was shut down. They’ll need more balance and creativity against Madrid’s improving defense to stay competitive.
Big answers ahead
Week 5 promises excitement and important answers: Can Fire bounce back? Are the Galaxy or Storm true title contenders? And which direction will the Raiders and Bravos take? Fans can expect top-level football as the playoff race begins to take shape.

ELF Power Ranking after Week 4
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.

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.

Best Homegrowns of Week 4
Week 4 of the 2025 ELF season gave fans a closer look at some of the most exciting homegrown talents. From game-changing defensive backs to dominant runners and reliable receivers — local players made a major impact on both sides of the ball.
Defensive backs become quarterbacks’ nightmare
It was a long day for Berlin Thunder quarterback Jakeb Sullivan, who threw four interceptions against the Hamburg Sea Devils. While American DB Nazir Streater picked off two passes, 22-year-old Jeremy Hecker also stood out. The German defensive back made three pass breakups and returned an interception for a touchdown — a highlight moment in Hamburg’s big win.
Meanwhile, 20-year-old Finn Schwarzkopf of the Frankfurt Galaxy put on a show in front of the home crowd. Against the Cologne Centurions, Schwarzkopf had a stellar game with two interceptions — one returned for a touchdown — and added a tackle for loss. Both young DBs proved they are rising stars to watch.
Watch the Top 10 Plays of Week 4 here!
Strong defense and power running
Prague Lions defensive lineman Marek Danik was a major factor in their dominant win over the Wroclaw Panthers. He recorded two sacks and two tackles for loss, disrupting the Panthers’ offensive line all game. His pressure helped keep Wroclaw’s offense out of rhythm.
On offense, two running backs stood out. Nicolas Khandar helped the Paris Musketeers defeat Rhein Fire with 106 rushing yards on just 15 carries. His powerful running helped open up the passing game, giving quarterback Jaylon Henderson space to throw four touchdowns.
Frankfurt’s Gerald Ameln had a career day against Cologne. With lead back Sandro Platzgummer resting, Ameln took full control — rushing for 170 yards and scoring both a rushing and a receiving touchdown.
Trusted target in Vienna
In the seventh edition of the Battle of Austria, Vienna Vikings wide receiver Noah Touré proved again why he was the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year. Touré caught three touchdowns and totaled 102 receiving yards, becoming quarterback Ben Holmes’ go-to weapon in the 41–7 win over the Raiders Tirol.
As the Vikings enter their first bye week, players like Touré can rest and prepare to continue their great form in the weeks to come.
With local talents stepping up across the league, Week 4 proved that homegrown stars are not just contributing — they’re leading.

Galaxy dominate Centurions - Surge remain undefeated
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.

The big reunion
This game promises to be extra spicy. In Cologne Centurions vs. Frankfurt Galaxy, several protagonists will face their old team.

Galaxy players Matej Bencek, Jahn Jesus Lara Perez, and Paul Kavadia-Lenhardt also have a Centurions past.
Centurions head coach Javan Lenhardt spent the last two years as defensive back coach for Galaxy. Who will win and show their former team what they're made of?

ELF Fantasy Manager: Start’em, sit’em, Week 4
The first three weeks of action in the ELF season are over and we as fans and more importantly fantasy managers finally got a full look at the teams and star players in action across the league.
Football is a game of matchups so let's see what players you might want to add or drop to your lineup this week.
This year Fantasy Manager features weekly prizes, yearly prizes, and a lot of rewards for the best and even the luckiest managers out there.
Read more about the ELF Fantasy manager prizes here!
Start
Matthew Mckay QB - Frankfurt Galaxy (3,740,000 GC)
#TheMcKayWay seems to be heading in the right direction as the Galaxy are happy they brought back the second year passer for another season in Purple. McKay’s ability to run the ball himself makes him a big time X factor as a quarterback. He’s been playing at a fringe MVP level through three weeks, taking him to put up big numbers against Cologne.
Gerald Ameln RB - Frankfurt Galaxy (1,860,000 GC)
Sandro Platzgummer has been the star in the Galaxy's backfield, however Ameln should get more carries as the former New York Giant seems to be banged up from last week’s game. The homegrown running back is averaging 4.5 yards a carry this season and is due for a big game versus Cologne.
Willie Patterson WR - Prague Lions (2,770,000 GC)
Willie Patterson and the Lions are headed to Wroclaw this week in a big East Division matchup. Patterson didn’t have a huge game receiving last week but did take a punt to the house as a returner. If the Lions want to take down the Panthers in an upset they need to get Patterson the ball more often.
Bench
Russell Tabor QB - Munich Ravens (3,900,000 GC)
Tabor has played well against the Thunder, but did have two turnovers against the Raiders in week one. This week he faces his toughest task yet, hoping to lead the Ravens to a win against the Surge. Stuttgart defense has been nothing short of a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks as the Surge have 5 interceptions and 11 sacks in 3 games.
Tobias Bonatti RB - Raiders Tirol (2,110,000 GC)
The Italian Stallion has been red hot to start the season, but football is a game of match ups. This week the Raiders go on the road to the Vienna Vikings who just beat the Rhein Fire. The Vikings defense is fast, physical, and well coached. Expect them to have Bonatti in a blender all game.
Rory Starkey Jr WR - Rhein Fire (2,570,000 GC)
The ELF rookie receiver had his coming out party last week against the Vienna Vikings catching 12 passes for 152 yards and a touchdown. However, just two weeks ago Starkey was held in check by the Paris defense as the Musketeers defensive backs allowed only 18 yards to the former Green Bay Packer.

Bookmaker's title candidates: Nordic Storm on the rise
The unbeaten Vienna Vikings are still the bookmakers' favorite to win the European League of Football title. At "Interwetten" and "SportyBet", the odds for the 2022 Austrian champions went down from 3.5 top 3.25. The 2023 and 2024 champions, the Rhein Fire from Düsseldorf, are close behind, despite their loss to Vienna last weekend. The odds for Rhein Fire to win the title are currently 4.0.
They are followed by Stuttgart Surge (4.3), Nordic Storm (5.5), Frankfurt Galaxy (6.0) and Paris Musketeers (8.0). The so far unbeaten Nordic Storm enter the Top5 for the first time.
Since Game Week 2, various global betting providers have been offering bets on the European League of Football, including Interwetten, SportyBet, Tipicio, Winamax, Neobet, bet365 und Betano.

ELF Power Ranking after Week 3
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.

Frankfurt Galaxy bring back veteran LB Sebastian Gauthier
The Frankfurt Galaxy have added a familiar face to their roster. Linebacker Sebastian Gauthier returns to the team as they both enter their fifth season in the European League of Football. Gauthier has been with the Galaxy since the league’s first season in 2021, and played a key role in the team’s championship-winning year.
Proven leadership on and off the field
Throughout his ELF career, Gauthier has built a strong resume. In 30 games, he has recorded 146 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 23 tackles for loss, 4 interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 1 forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries. His ability to make plays on defense is matched by the leadership he brings to the locker room.
As a veteran, Gauthier isn’t just expected to perform on the field—he also plays an important role as a mentor to younger teammates. Fans may see him return to action as early as Game Week 4, when the Galaxy take on the Cologne Centurions in another key West Division clash.

"Always have to be ready": Galaxy survives last-second drama
Nailbiter alarm at Frankfurt Galaxy. Together with the Paris Musketeers, the German team delivered a real highlight in week 3.
Galaxy had its opponent firmly under control for three quarters. The running game worked, the defense only allowed three points, and top performer Matthew McKay showed his strengths in the passing game. However, things went quiet around the quarterback in the fourth quarter.
Watch the Highlights here!
Musketeers chose the right adjustments
Musketeers Head Coach Jack del Rio made the right adjustments. His squad looked like a different team and completely turned the momentum to their side. The stadium on Bieberer Berg was a world apart. The Musketeers scored 24 unanswered points.
Musketeers quarterback Jaylon Henderson gained over 340 total yards and found his free receivers. The running game suddenly started to work and the defense also got into the game much better.
With 22 seconds left, Henderson scored his final touchdown and with 19 seconds left, he completed the 2-point conversion to receiver Austin Mitchell - the Musketeers led. What a comeback.
Read the whole game play by play
Frankfurt Galaxy turns the tables again
But that still wasn't the final score of a thrilling game. Galaxy QB McKay scored 27 yards with a run and was tackled late by Souleymane Karamoko. Too late, the referees thought, and gave the safety and his team a 15-yard penalty. So with just seven seconds on the clock, kicker Ryan Rimmler was given the chance to secure an already expected victory. And Rimmler scored. Galaxy regained the lead and won a dramatic game thanks to a strong Musketeers comeback.
After his team's second victory, head coach Bart Andrus said he was "very, very proud of the boys, but especially of the young man sitting next to me," pointing to his smiling player Rimmler, who gladly accepted the compliment.
“It's just my job, I always have to be ready for it,” Rimmler waved off, praising his teammates, who had done a first-class job for at least 45 minutes.
Galaxy therefore go 2-1 and face a 0-2 Cologne Centurions in week 4. The Paris Muskeeters will face the current champions Rhein Fire, who suffered a painful defeat against the Vienna Vikings.

Sunday’s Top Performer: Matthew McKay
Frankfurt Galaxy secured an absolute highlight in Week 3 with a narrow 29-27 victory over the Paris Musketeers. Right in the middle of it all: Galaxy quarterback Matthew McKay – our Sunday Top Performer.
McKay led his team to a comfortable lead over three quarters. The US import was confident in his passing game, completing 14 of his 20 pass attempts. Overall, the 25-year-old threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns.

He also added 61 rushing yards in six attempts on the ground. His most important run was a 27-yard rush with 19 seconds left on the clock. By then, the momentum had completely shifted and the Paris Musketeers staged an incredible comeback, including taking the lead themselves.
However, McKay's final run and a 15-yard penalty for a late hit enabled Frankfurt Galaxy to score a late field goal, which Ryan Rimmler converted to secure victory.
McKay's game did have one flaw, however. The quarterback suffered an interception. Given the late victory, he will probably be able to live with it.

Rimmler saves the day as Galaxy edge Musketeers
Paris Musketeers @ Frankfurt Galaxy - 27:29
In one of the most exciting games of Week 3, the Frankfurt Galaxy managed to secure a dramatic 29–27 win over the Paris Musketeers. A strong first half, followed by a late game-winning field goal, allowed Galaxy to continue their winning streak and stay at the top of the West Division.
Galaxy dominate early, Musketeers fight back late
Right from the start, Galaxy showed their strength on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Matthew McKay impressed once again with both his passing and running ability, connecting on big plays with his receivers. Wideout Kevin Kaya was a key target, finishing with 5 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown.
Galaxy’s defense also stepped up early and didn’t allow Paris to score in the first half. The Musketeers were down 0–19 at halftime, with a weather delay just before the break slowing things down — but not Galaxy’s momentum.
In the second half, the Musketeers woke up. Quarterback Jaylon Henderson threw for over 340 total yards and three touchdowns, helping Paris score 23 points in the final quarter, including a safety. But with the game on the line, Galaxy responded.

Clutch kick seals the win
After the Musketeers tied the game late, it was Matthew McKay who once again took charge. With just seconds remaining, he ran for 27 yards to set up the game-winning kick. Ryan Rimmler kept his cool and nailed the field goal to give Galaxy the 29–27 win.
British linebacker Toby Naylor also had a standout performance on defense, finishing with 15 tackles and several key stops.
Looking ahead
With the win, the Frankfurt Galaxy move to a 2–1 record and are now tied at the top of the West Division alongside the Stuttgart Surge. Next up for Galaxy is another divisional matchup against the Cologne Centurions.
The Paris Musketeers drop to 1–2 and face another tough challenge in Week 4 - a matchup against Champion Rhein Fire.

Both teams are in the West Division and are aiming to stay near the top. Paris brings the defense - Frankfurt brings the offense. Something has to give.

Berlin Thunder at Nordic Storm - 13:00 CET
Trouble ahead for Thunder?
After a strong start to the season, the Berlin Thunder were brought back down to earth with a tough loss to the Munich Ravens. Now, they face another major challenge in the red-hot Nordic Storm, who are 2–0 and already looking like one of the best teams in the league. The Thunder will need a big bounce-back performance if they want to stay competitive in the North Division.
Vienna Vikings at Rhein Fire - Championship Rematch - 16:25 CET
Championship rematch
In one of the most anticipated matchups of the season, the Vienna Vikings travel to face Rhein Fire — the team that beat them in last year’s ELF Championship Game. Both teams are undefeated this season. The Vikings come in after wins against the Prague Lions and Fehérvár Enthroners, while Rhein Fire used their Week 2 bye to rest and study their opponents. It’s a showdown between two of the league’s top programs -- and a possible preview of another playoff battle.

Top Matchups: Rivalries, Redemption & Division Clashes
Welcome to the third edition of our weekly series highlighting the most exciting games in the European League of Football. As we head into Game Week 3, the battles on the field are heating up, and the stakes are getting higher. Let’s take a look at three games that stand out this weekend — each filled with storylines, pressure, and top-level football.
Stuttgart Surge at Hamburg Sea Devils - Bounce back or statement win?
Stuttgart Surge is looking for redemption after their Week 2 loss against Paris, where their offense struggled to score a single point. Their defense, however, remains one of the strongest in the league, and they’ll need it to stop the dangerous Sea Devils run game.
Hamburg, on the other hand, comes into their first home game of the season full of confidence after a big win against Prague. Their defense has been the star so far, and with new quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa making his ELF debut, they’ll look to prove they belong among the league’s top teams.
Get your tickets for all ELF games here!
Paris Musketeers at Frankfurt Galaxy - Defense vs Firepower
The Musketeers' defense was outstanding in Week 2, holding the high-powered Surge offense to zero points. But while the defense has been elite, the Paris offense has only scored 21 points across two games. That needs to change quickly — especially against a Galaxy team that just scored 47 points in a thrilling shootout win over Madrid.
This matchup is also key in the West Division race. A win for either side could set the tone for who might lead the division in the coming weeks.
Vienna Vikings at Rhein Fire - A championship rematch
This is the big one. The Vienna Vikings are 2-0 and look sharp on both sides of the ball. But now comes their toughest challenge yet: Rhein Fire. Fire had a bye week in Week 2 and used that time to prepare for this game — one that brings back memories of the 2024 Championship Game, where they beat the Vikings to become back-to-back champions.
Both teams are undefeated. Both want to prove they’re still the best. Expect fireworks.
Plenty on the line this weekend — bragging rights, division battles, and championship dreams. Game Week 3 could give us a glimpse of what’s to come in 2025.

ELF Power Ranking after Week 2
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.

Best homegrowns of Week 2
Week 2 of the ELF 2025 season once again showed how important homegrown talent is to the league. Several local players stepped up with standout performances on both offense and defense. Here are our Top Homegrowns of the Week!
Running back trio steals the show
In Week 2, it wasn’t just the quarterbacks making headlines — it was the running backs who took over the spotlight.
Lucas Harting Candido played a key role in the Hamburg Sea Devils’ win over the Prague Lions, forming a dangerous backfield duo with Chrisman Kyei. Candido rushed for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns, showing why he is considered one of the most talented RBs in the league.
In Frankfurt, it was a one-two punch from the Galaxy backfield. While Sandro Platzgummer won Citizen MVP of the Week, homegrown Gerald Ameln also stood out, rushing for 88 yards and 2 touchdowns in the high-scoring win over Madrid Bravos.
And then there was Tobias Bonatti, who took over the game for the Raiders Tirol after starting QB Conor Miller went down. Bonatti ran for an impressive 185 yards and 3 touchdowns, thanks to great blocking and his own explosive runs. Teammates Lukas Haslwanter and Jan Wiesauer also contributed, but Bonatti clearly led the way.
Homegrowns dominate the trenches
It wasn’t just the offense where homegrowns shined. Defensive lines also played a huge role in Week 2, and two names stood out in particular.
For the Nordic Storm, Marcus Berg Boesen followed up a strong Week 1 performance by teammate Max Parkinson with a dominant game of his own. The Danish defensive end had 2 sacks, 1 tackle for loss, and helped shut down the Wroclaw Panthers offense.
Meanwhile in Hamburg, Joshua Köhnlein made a big impact for the Sea Devils. The 22-year-old defensive tackle caused major problems for the Lions’ offensive line and finished the day with 2 sacks and 1 tackle for loss, playing a key role in Hamburg’s win.
Watch the ELF Live show week 2 recap!
Defensive leaders stand tall
The Nordic Storm had more than one homegrown standout. Veteran Ludvig Myren, now in his fourth ELF season, looked better than ever. Against the Panthers, he recorded 9 tackles, 1 sack, 2 tackles for loss, and 1 pass break-up — a complete performance from the Swedish linebacker.
One of the biggest surprises of the weekend was the Paris Musketeers’ defense, which held the powerful Stuttgart Surge to zero points. At the heart of that effort was linebacker Digaan Gomis, a true leader on the field. Gomis finished with 10 tackles, 1 sack, 1 TFL, and 1 pass break-up, helping his team secure a tough 6–0 win.
More homegrown highlights to come
With every week, more homegrown players prove they belong at the top level. Week 2 delivered another round of amazing performances — and with Week 3 just around the corner, we’re sure to see even more rising stars step into the spotlight.
Who will shine next? We’ll find out soon.

Galaxy win high-scoring battle against Bravos
Frankfurt Galaxy @ Madrid Bravos – 47:33
The matchup between the Frankfurt Galaxy and the Madrid Bravos turned into a true thriller, with both teams going back and forth in a high-scoring showdown. A total of 80 points were scored, and most of the action came after a slow first quarter where neither team managed to put points on the board.
Things changed quickly in the second quarter, as both teams combined for 33 points, scoring touchdown after touchdown. The defenses had little control from that point on.
Galaxy’s run game takes over
Frankfurt’s offensive line dominated the trenches and opened big lanes for the run game, leading to over 390 rushing yards. Sandro Platzgummer was the star of the day, rushing for more than 230 yards and proving nearly impossible to stop.
On defense, Channing Stribling and Tom Kleinmann each grabbed an interception off Bravos quarterback Reid Sinnett, helping the Galaxy secure the lead.
Watch the highlights here!
Bravos offense shines – But defense struggles
The Bravos also had standout performances, especially from Aron Cruickshank, who totaled over 220 yards, including almost 200 receiving yards. Quarterback Reid Sinnett threw for more than 420 yards and 3 touchdowns, but also had 2 costly interceptions.
The biggest issue for Madrid was on defense. They gave up a massive 612 total yards, with 397 rushing yards allowed — a number that shows just how dominant Frankfurt was on the ground. The Bravos were also hurt by 14 penalties, which often pushed them into poor field position.
What’s next?
With this win, Frankfurt Galaxy makes a strong statement. After losing in Week 1 to the Stuttgart Surge, there were some concerns. But this victory proves that Frankfurt is still a serious playoff contender. In Week 3, they’ll face the Paris Musketeers at home — a key game within the West Division. A win would not only give them a positive 2–1 record, but also an important head-to-head victory in the division.
For the Madrid Bravos, this game should be a wake-up call. After struggling offensively in Week 1, their defensive weaknesses were clearly exposed this time. If they want to repeat their strong 2024 season, improvements are needed — and fast. In Week 3, they’ll face the Helvetic Mercenaries, and it will be time to show what the team is really capable of.

Saturday’s Top Performer: Sandro Platzgummer
What a game — and what a performance from Sandro Platzgummer. The Austrian former NFL running back showed all of his talent in Frankfurt Galaxy’s big win over the Madrid Bravos.
Platzgummer rushed for an incredible 248 yards, running past defenders all night long. With an average of 13.78 yards per carry, he was gaining a first down almost every time he touched the ball. He also scored two touchdowns, including a game-winning 88-yard run late in the fourth quarter — proving once again that he can deliver big plays in key moments.
Watch the highlights here!
A breakout after a quiet week 1
In Week 1, Platzgummer already showed flashes of his skill, but the game situation made it hard for Frankfurt to stick with the run. Against Madrid, however, he was the clear star of the offense.
Looking ahead to Week 3 against the Paris Musketeers, Platzgummer will again be a key part of the Galaxy’s game plan. If he can keep this level of performance, Frankfurt has a strong chance to celebrate their second win in a row.

Top storylines for Saturday’s week 2 games
After an exciting start to the 2025 ELF season in Week 1, let’s take a look at the key storylines for this Saturday’s matchups. Three games, three chances for teams to show what they’re made of.
Fehérvár Enthroners at Vienna Vikings (18:00 CET)
Can the Enthroners bounce back against a league favorite?
The Enthroners had a tough loss in Week 1 against the Wroclaw Panthers but showed some flashes of potential. Now, they face another big challenge: the Vienna Vikings. Vienna looked solid in their opening win over Prague, but the team knows there's still room to improve. This matchup will show if the Vikings are ready to take the next step — or if the Enthroners can surprise everyone.

Hamburg Sea Devils at Prague Lions (18:00 CET)
New QB, same fight – Can Maack lead the Sea Devils to victory?
The Sea Devils played a promising first game but lost both the match and starting QB Micah Leon to injury. Now, homegrown QB Moritz Maack takes over. He looked calm in his short appearance last week and will now lead the team from the start. The Prague Lions, meanwhile, looked much improved from last season despite their loss. This could be a close game full of exciting moments.
Frankfurt Galaxy at Madrid Bravos (20:00 CET)
Early Pressure in a Cross-Division Clash
Both the Galaxy and the Bravos had difficult openers. While the Bravos got the win, both teams have high expectations for the 2025 season. Even though they play in different divisions, every win matters — especially in such a competitive league. This cross-division game could help set the tone for the weeks ahead. A win here might give one of these teams the early momentum they need to chase a playoff spot.
With strong matchups and big questions to answer, Saturday is shaping up to be another great day of ELF football.

Top Matchups – Who can handle the heat in Week 2?
Welcome to the second edition of our weekly series spotlighting the most exciting matchups in the European League of Football. As the 2025 season continues this Saturday, fans across Europe and around the world are eager to see how their teams will perform. This week, we take a closer look at three standout games that promise the perfect mix of excitement and storylines.
Frankfurt Galaxy vs. Madrid Bravos – Playoff hopes on the line early
Both teams had a rough start in Week 1, but Madrid Bravos managed to secure a win — while Frankfurt Galaxy did not. The Galaxy struggled against a powerful Stuttgart Surge team, revealing several issues despite major offseason changes meant to bring them back to their former strength.
The Bravos, on the other hand, showed solid defense, holding Hamburg to just 12 points. But offensively, they still need to find their rhythm. This game could already be an early turning point in the season. Both teams have playoff ambitions, and in their tight divisions, every win will matter.

Nordic Storm vs. Wroclaw Panthers – A real test of strength
This game is the first real challenge for both teams. In Week 1, Nordic Storm and Wroclaw Panthers each had dominant wins. But now, they meet head-to-head — and we’ll find out which team truly belongs among the ELF elite.
The big story for the Storm is the injury to star running back and 2024 MVP Glen Toonga, who is out for the season. All eyes will be on how the Storm adjust without him, especially against the strong Panthers defense, which made life very difficult for the Enthroners in Week 1.
Stuttgart Surge vs. Paris Musketeers – Clash of championship contenders
Both the Surge and the Musketeers looked like top-tier teams in Week 1. Stuttgart showed their full strength in all three phases of the game and beat the Galaxy with confidence, reminding everyone why they are seen as Championship contenders. The Musketeers played in a defensive battle against defending champs Rhein Fire, losing narrowly by just two points (15–17). Their defense was excellent, but their offense struggled against one of the toughest units in the league.
This Week 2 matchup could be one of the best games of the weekend — two powerful teams, both with high goals for the season, meeting early for a statement win.
More matchups will follow, but these three are must-watch games for any ELF fan. Let’s get ready for another thrilling football weekend across Europe!

ELF Power Ranking after week 1
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.

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.

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!

Still untouchable: Opening Game win rates
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)

Vikings dominant once again - Surge look electric
Season five of the European League of Football is finally here! The first week already showed a lot of highlights. Here is a recap of the late slate of Sunday in Week 1.
Vienna Vikings @ Prague Lions
Score: 28 - 6
The Vienna Vikings handled business on their trip to Prague in Week 1. The Austrian franchisde profited from a calm, coo, and collected quarterback in Ben Holmes and offseason addition Yannick Mayr who led his team in receptions and receiving yards against the Lions.
The Prague Lions were just outmatched in this game. With former rookie sensation Adam Zouzelka at running back, the Czech franchise had a few sparks here and there. But it was not enough to challenge the 2024 European League of Football runner-up in Week 1.
While the Vikings look to improve their record to 2-0 against the Fehervar Enthroners next week, the Prague Lions have to rebuild for a tough matchup against the Hamburg Sea Devils, who also started the season 0-1 against the Madrid Bravos on Saturday.
Watch the highlights by clicking right here!
Frankfurt Galaxy @ Stuttgart Surge
Score: 20 - 33
The Frankfurt Galaxy had a lot of promising offseason additions since the 2024 season. But against the Surge, the German franchise was just overpowered. The Surge dominated the 2021 European League of Football champion with quarterback Reilley Hennessey and Irish running back Tomiwa Oyewo.
The offseason addition at running back proved to be a home run. Oyewo managed to run the ball for over 100 yards in over 20 carries. Look out for the Surge to be a dangerous team who is able to push for a deep playoff run once again.
The Surge will look to go 2-0 against the Paris Musketeers on the road, while the Frankfurt Galaxy have to be on their toes to not start the season 0-2 after a road matchup against the 1-0 Madrid Bravos next Sunday.

Attention Nordic Storm: All first ELF Games in Franchise History
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.

Storylines to watch in the ELF’s West Division
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!

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!
