hammerva Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 So wait are we saying it is possible that we will have the XFL, USFL, and the Spring League running at the same time? Actually 4 since I assume the CFL will run around that time. You would really have to suck not to make a pro team now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyboy Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The European League is set to kick off this week. https://europeanleague.football/schedule Classic WLAF/NFL Europe/NFL Europa names have been resurrected including the Frankfurt Galaxy and Barcelona Dragons. (The Hamburg Sea Devils, Berlin Thunder and Cologne Centurions are also back but they're not exactly classic names). No London Monarchs or Amsterdam Admirals yet, but I live in hope. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't they use to have teams in San Antonio and Sacramento? Or was a different version of the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was a different version of the league Yes, in the original World League format before it was totally based in Europe. The Surge name is now being used by Stuttgart. Apart from having sold or negotiated the use of the old names there doesn't seem to be any overt NFL involvement in this league. Edit: Found a link, yes it's just a naming use agreement. https://www.americanfootballinternational.com/ex-nfl-europe-sea-devils-galaxy-naming-rights-secured-by-european-league-of-football/ Quote David Knower, chairman of the advisory board of the European League of Football, initiated and negotiated the agreement with the NFL. “We are delighted about the agreement to be able to use the naming rights of the former NFL Europe teams,” says Knower, who worked with the NFL Europe Advisory Board. Beyond that, there are no further connections between the European League of Football and the NFL as things stand.

johnnyboy Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I bought the PPV stream of the kickoff game and I thought that it was good fun (there was also an English commentary option, which was a bonus). Game highlights go up on their YouTube channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 The XFL and CFL have "tabled" their talks (aka they couldn't come to an agreement) With the announcement from both leagues - the XFL announced that it will now relaunch in 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboy Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 The European League of Football Championship Game ended up being a rerun of the last ever World Bowl with Frankfurt Galaxy taking on the Hamburg Sea Devils. The Rhein Fire are back next season. My dream of the London Monarchs returning remains a dream for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 And Denver. Also San Antonio but I guess that is considered midwest Choosing Pittsburgh over Washington is odd but if there is an XFL team in DC they wouldn't have anywhere to play to begin with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
