Overview
- The eight-team league opens its third season Friday, March 27, with Birmingham at Louisville on Fox, followed by two Saturday games and Orlando hosting Columbus Sunday on ESPN.
- Every game streams live on Fubo alongside a split TV schedule across ESPN/ABC, Fox, FS1 and select NFL Network windows, with ESPN listing 22 telecasts and ABC carrying key weekend slots.
- Backed by investor Mike Repole, the league moved into Columbus, Louisville and Orlando, shifted to smaller soccer stadiums, and replaced conferences with one table for four playoff spots.
- New sidelines feature first-time head coaches AJ McCarron, Ted Ginn Jr. and Chris Redman plus Anthony Becht in Orlando, while defending champion DC returns coach Shannon Harris and QB Jordan Ta’amu.
- The semifinals are set for June 7 and the championship for June 13, and this season adds a 4-point field goal from 60 yards or longer to encourage more scoring.
