IFL seasons

The 2023 Indoor Football League season was the fifteenth season of the Indoor Football League (IFL). It was the first year of the IFL and the XFL player personnel partnership, with the IFL functioning as their de facto minor league.[1]

Offseason

[edit]

The league added one expansion team, the Tulsa Oilers.[2][3] The Bismarck Bucks suspended operations.[4]

Rule changes

[edit]

For the 2023 season, the IFL announced the following rule changes:[5]

  • The Deuce kick rule will now be in effect during the entire game.
  • The ball is considered "live" if the kickoff hits the uprights or goalposts and comes back into the field of play.
  • The 25 second play clock will begin after the ball is spotted.
  • Positive yardage rule in the last 60 seconds of the game has been eliminated.

Standings

[edit]
Notes[c]
  1. ^ a b c Sioux Falls, Massachusetts, and Quad City are ranked in that order based on conference record.
  2. ^ a b Duke City finished ahead of Vegas based on conference record.
  3. ^ The procedure used to determine tiebreakers is: 1) Conference record 2) Head-to-head record, 3) Strength of schedule, 4) Head-to-head point differential, and 5) Overall point differential[6]

Season structure

[edit]

Regular season

[edit]

The regular season for 2023 was played across 18 weeks with teams playing 15 games each. Each team also had two bye weeks, with Arizona, Quad City, Frisco, and Green Bay earning three bye weeks after playing the opening weekend.[7]

Postseason

[edit]

The top four teams from both the Eastern and Western Conferences played each other with the top two seeds getting home-field advantage for round one.[8] In the conference championships, the previous winners of round one faced off with the higher seed getting home field advantage.[9] The 2023 IFL National Championship was then between the conference champions with the game being played at the Dollar Loan Center on August 5, 2023.[10]
