American Professional Flag Football
The American Flag Football League is a semi-professional flag football league started in 2017. The league was founded by Jeff Lewis in May 2017, and played a tournament-style schedule every summer. League players are not paid during the season and most of them are primarily amateurs, instead cash prizes are awarded to the tournament winners.[1] The AFFL plan to launch a four-team pro league in 2024.[2] However, the AFFL announced in April 2024 that the debut season would be delayed until 2025 with additional teams and a women's division.[3]
The game is played seven players a side with no kicking game and no tackling.
