  • Other Football Leagues
    OTHER FOOTBALL LEAGUES {Appendix 3.1, to Sports Facility Reports, Volume 21} Research completed as of August 7, 2020 ARENA FOOTBALL LEAGUE (AFL) LEAGUE UPDATE: The Arena Football League was the highest-level professional indoor football league, and the second longest-running professional football league, after the National Football League, in the United States. On October 29, 2019, the Arena Football League Commissioner Randall Boe released a statement saying the league decided to close team services and local business operations in the league’s markets. Commissioner Boe cited the closure was a direct consequence of financial constraints facing the AFL, which included extensive legal liabilities and a recent multi-million-dollar litigation filed against the AFL by an insurance carrier that previously provided coverage for the league. On November 27, 2019, the AFL announced the league filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and was fully ceasing operations. © Copyright 2020, National Sports Law Institute of Marquette University Law School Page 1 AMERICAN ARENA LEAGUE (AAL) LEAGUE UPDATE: The league launched after the dissolution of the American Indoor Football League. Its first season was in 2017 and has quickly grown into the largest professional arena league in the United States. Due to COVID-19, the 2020 season was postponed. The league has also formed an alliance with the Can-Am Indoor Football League to further advance each league’s goals and promote the arena/indoor football industry. Both leagues plan to share a similar concept and business plan and will continue to run independently of each other. Both leagues will participate in the Arena Football Challenge Cup at the completion of the season.
