The following is the full schedule for the 2024 IFL Season.
The 16th season of the IFL will yield 16 teams in 2023, a significant milestone for the league as it has not played with 16 teams in a single season since 2012. All 14 teams from the 2022 season return, along with two expansion teams in the Jacksonville Sharks and the San Antonio Gunslingers. The addition of the Sharks and Gunslingers maintains the conference balance of the IFL, with the Sharks joining the Eastern Conference and the Gunslingers joining the Western Conference.
The Sharks join the IFL having spent the past seven years in the National Arena League, winning its third NAL Championship last season. Jacksonville, established in 2010 in the Arena Football League, will bring back some nostalgia with games against former AFL foes in the Arizona Rattlers and Iowa Barnstormers, as well as re-establish its old NAL rivalry with the Massachusetts Pirates.
In addition to Jacksonville, the Gunslingers join the IFL after spending the previous two seasons in the NAL. Established in 2020, the Gunslingers played their first season in the American Arena League before making the jump to the NAL the following season.
The 2024 season will once again be absent of the Bismarck Bucks and the Columbus Wild Dogs. Bismarck, who went inactive for the 2023 season due to issues with the North Dakota Workforce Safety Insurance, addressed that issue over the past season, but will once again not play in 2024. The team has stated it intends to play in 2025, changing its name to the Dakota Bucks and working with both the Bismarck Event Center and Scheels Arena to determine its home venue. While the team goes dormant for the second consecutive year, the Bucks will collaborate with Sheels Arena in hosting an IFL regular season game, dubbed the "Fargo-IFL Gridiron Classic." The game will take place Saturday, April 27th and feature Massachusetts against the Sioux Falls Storm.
Meanwhile, the Columbus Wild Dogs have quietly kicked the can down the road for the forth consecutive season in regards to its inaugural launch. The Wild Dogs, founded in 2019 and was slated to play in 2021 saw their inaugural season pushed back to 2022. Unfortunately, the Wild Dogs were not included in the 2022 schedule, seeing the franchise's inaugural season delayed once again. The Wild Dogs hoped that 2023 would be the year they finally make their IFL debut, but the team's social media disappeared and the team's website became outdated. Commissioner Todd Tryon stated in an interview that the snag with Columbus was the cost of operations on gameday throughout the season, so it's assumed the team will once again target the next season to debut.
While the fate of two dormant teams is still in the air for 2025, the league formally announced an expansion team to play in Fishers, Indiana, a suburb of Indianapolis. The Fishers Freight will play at the Fishers Event Center, currently under construction. The team is owned by Jim Hallett, owner of the ECHL's Indy Fuel.
The league will increase its number of regular season games back up to a 16-game season to be spread out over 19 weeks. All sixteen teams will play a total of eight home games and eight away games.
The playoff format in 2023 will once again yield eight teams, with the top four teams in each conference qualifying for the 2024 IFL Playoffs. The IFL National Championship Game will once again take place at the Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson, NV, home of the Vegas Knight Hawks.
Each week's games will appear most recent at the top of the post. Final results will be updated following the conclusion of the games and listed in ascending order.
