The Arizona Football League season runs January thru March, sometimes playoffs end in May. Teams form and start working out from September thru December.

This is a Club, recreational, amateur league. The games are structured, officiated and highly competitive, the amateur status allows young athletes to maintain college eligibility!

Teams practice one to two times a week and play games on Saturdays. There are teams from all over the state with the bulk of them in the Metro Phoenix area. So teams have the opportunity to experience travel games once or more during the season.

When teams play in the Phoenix area, they are part of a set of back to back games that are two and a half hours apart. They will all be at the same location, on the same day. This provides team owners, players and coaches the opportunity to scout, build relationships and unite in a way that is completely unique in football.

All games are recorded with lots of action photos taken as well. The season schedule is usually posted in late December each year. For planning purposes, until the schedule is online, keep your Saturdays free for football.

Each team has 10 regular season games. We have a preseason game for all teams unless a team has a bye week scheduled. In pre-season there are a series of controlled scrimmages here in the Valley and in Southern and Northern Arizona. Playoffs usually consist of the top 8 teams.

As a player you will need to provide your own helmet and pads and practice gear. Most teams have uniforms they hand out and pick up on game day. Some teams have you purchase parts or complete sets of uniforms and you keep them.  All uniforms have to match once the regular season begins, including, helmets, facemasks, decals, jerseys and pants.

You pick the team you want to play for. Until the season actually begins and an official game is played, players are free to move around to other teams. All you need to do is check in with the teams and the AzFL so we can organize team rosters.

 Once the season begins players must contact the AzFL before moving to a new team. There are no transfer fees. Players must be registered with the league before practicing or participating with any team.
