The Indoor Football League (IFL) is a professional indoor American football league created in 2008 out of the merger between the Intense Football League and United Indoor Football. It has one of the largest number of currently active teams among indoor football leagues. As of the 2024 season, the league consists of 16 teams in two conferences with each team playing 16 games over 19 weeks.
The league has operated continuously under the same name and corporate structure longer than any other current indoor football league. With the closure of the original Arena Football League in 2019, the IFL is the oldest active professional indoor football league in North America, and can trace its history to 2003 (as the Intense Football League).
IFL players earn US$250–500 (before taxes) per game played,[2][3] with a $25 bonus given to players on the winning team each week.[4] Additionally some teams provide housing for their players during the season.[5]
The IFL has a player personnel partnership with the UFL, to function as their de facto minor league.[6]
