The formation of the North American Floorball League (NAFL), the first professional floorball league in North America, was announced on August 1, 2020. Initially, the league was to commence its inaugural season in June 2021. However, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions from Europe, the first season was delayed until Summer 2022.
The NAFL floorball association played its inaugural season with 4 teams. It was played over the course of four weekends in June and July (with a bye week for World Games), with each team hosting the other teams in round robin play. The Florida Vikings were crowned 2022 Champions after defeating the Fort Worth Jaguars in the championship game. The Fresno Force came in 3rd with the Utah Raptors fourth.
For 2023, NAFL will play with 6 teams. The Utah Raptors are on hiatus, the Texas Tornados has been activated and new teams, Aviators Floorball of Ohio and Minnesota Growlers have joined the league. The 2023 season will be played over the course of three weeks beginning July 13, with 3 of the teams hosting the others for round-robin play in their home venue. Each team will play 2 to 5 games per week for 10 regular season games. The top four teams will advance to the playoffs which will be held the final Saturdya and Sunday of the season. The league plays under the rules promulgated by the International Floorball Federation (IFF). Click here to visit the NAFL web site North American Floorball League.
