Monsters grab a big win and advance to the Big Game.

Rising Powers, Fading Giants, and Everything In Between Week 4 is in the books, and the weeks ahead are already shaping up to be just as exciting. With some powerhouse teams stumbling and others finding new life, the landscape is shifting fast. Let’s take a look at who came out on top — and who made the biggest statements — during an action-packed weekend of football. 1st. Vienna Vikings Ben Holmes bounced back in a big way, leading the Vikings with authority after a tough

1st. Calanda Broncos The Calanda Broncos remain undefeated in both the NLA and the CEFL, securing their second consecutive CEFL Final appearance. Concerns about injuries to star players appear to be fading, as the team is getting healthy just in time for the crucial stretch of the season. 2nd. Basel Gladiators The Gladiators look like the clear favorites, alongside the Broncos, to reach the Swiss Bowl. Basel has already clinched home-field advantage for the semifinal, with

In a rivalry that ended up closer than anyone could have expected entering the 4th quarter there were two words that really made the difference: special teams, special teams, special teams. This was truly the difference in this game between German teams. Sure you could point to Russell Tabor’s inability to stick in the pocket and deliver accurately to his receivers. You could look at the lack of pressure put on Reilly Hennessey throughout the game, leading to his ability t

After the end of the regular season, the Italian Football League playoffs have finally started. The second Road To Toledo sees six teams on the field competing for a ticket to the United States of America. Dolphins Ancona (9-1) and Guelfi Firenze (10-0) are the two best teams in the league after the regular season, so they will skip the Wild Card round and will directly play in next week’s Semifinals, while Frogs Legnano (8-2), the two time defending champions Panthers Parma

Here are our Power Rankings for Week 3 in the ELF: The Vienna Vikings take the top spot after a big defensive win over Rhein Fire, who drop to third. Nordic Storm stay unbeaten at #2, while Stuttgart Surge and Frankfurt Galaxy gain ground. Teams like the Musketeers continue to show both promise and concern, while others like Cologne and Fehérvár struggle to stay afloat. With every game counting more, the playoff picture is already starting to take shape.

1st. UNSW Raiders Reigning champions, reigning expectations. The Raiders enter the 2025 season with a target on their backs after their offensive shootout win in last year’s Waratah Bowl (70–42 vs. UTS). Quarterback play, discipline, and a fierce defensive front make them early favorites again. No team returns more chemistry or more firepower. Expect them to come out of the gate as the team to beat...

Ancons Dolphins : A+ (9-1) Fantastic season for the Ancona Dolphins who dominate Girone A, the change of head coach seems to have given them greater awareness. They won both the direct clashes with Parma and edged over Legnano to get the #1 seed and enter the playoffs as favorites. Their import QB Blake Eaton has shown great ability and perseverance, together with the help of one of the best defenses we've ever seen in the IFL they'll be a tough matchup for anyone. Will they

What better time to check in on the BAFA Premiership after a few weeks away than at the halfway point of the season? Let’s jump straight into it with a refresher of every team from top down. 1st. London Warriors Still leading the pack is the only undefeated team left at this level, the London Warriors. A notoriously difficult team for journalists to cover, they prefer to let the results speak for themselves rather than publishing stat lines or individual accolades. Who can

1st. Örebro Black Knights Another week, another (surprisingly) dominant Örebro performance. Even though the Black Knights “just” faced the league’s 8th seed, Oslo Vikings, their 52-0 win is nothing short of a real statement victory. The Black Knights, led by Czech RB Brezina (136 Yards & 1 TD vs. Oslo), are once again a real contender for the Superserien championship.

The Calanda Broncos have reached the final of the Central European Football League, another testament to the international class of some Swiss teams. While the ELF team Helvetic Mercenaries is still falling short of expectations, other clubs are making waves across Europe. Whether it’s tackle, flag, or 7v7/5v5 touch football: Swiss players are competing at the top level. However, why isn’t success equally spread across the board? A look at the good – and not-so-good – sides o

The Italian Football League regular season is over and the Road to Toledo is starting once again. After 14 weekends of games played, the six remaining teams will face each other in the playoffs starting this weekend in the Wild Card round. The games will see the second and third place teams from both groups on the field. That means we'll see a rematch of last year's semifinal with the Skorpions Varese hosting the Panthers Parma, whilst the Legnano Frogs will host the Giaguar

Week 4 in the Turkish Football League didn’t have any big surprises, but we did see some more changes in the rankings. Some teams are building momentum, while others are still trying to figure things out. We’re now past the halfway mark of the regular season, and every game is starting to feel more important.

1st. Danube Dragons The Dragons suffered their first loss after an away game against the Prague Black Panthers. They were on quite a roll up until now, but I guess the atmosphere in the house of the defending AFL champions got to them. 2nd. Graz Giants Moving up the leaderboard after a close win against the Vienna Vikings. Even though they were in Vienna as guests, their fans made sure to show up and destroy the Vikings' confidence...

Playoff Picture Is Set: Who’s Ready for the Postseason? Week 6 of the CNFA 2025 season has come to a close, and with it, the regular season wrapped up with excitement, intensity, and a clear playoff picture. After six hard-fought games, the playoff seedings are locked in. The standings remained unchanged, but the momentum heading into the postseason couldn’t be more different for each team. Here's a breakdown of where the top four teams stand as we look ahead to the playoffs

1. Örebro Black Knights The Black Knights have been catching everybody off guard so far sitting at the top of the standings with a 4-1 record after five games. Head coach Branko Mutic has developed an absolutely lethal rushing offense around E-Import runningback Jakub Brezina (475 Yards & 8 TD) alongside homegrown quarterback Victor Ekberg (819 Yards, 8 TD, 3 INT) and QB turned superstar WR Trevor Vasey. Defensively the team is led by Swedish national team LB Edvin Jönsson (

Another thrilling week on the field (and in the stands) brought plenty of excitement and some serious movement in the rankings. From unexpected upsets to dramatic finishes, this weekend had it all. We witnessed standout performances, rising stars, and teams stepping up when it mattered most. It’s moments like these that remind us why we love the game. So, who made the biggest statement this week? Let’s take a closer look at the teams that came out on top! ...

1st Place: Ancona Dolphins The Dolphins have been dominant this season. An impressive 9 game win streak took them to the first place of our ranking. The last 3 games have been very convincing, especially the victory over Parma. After that win, they arrive at the playoffs as the clear leaders and favorites for the playoffs. Will they be able to finish what they started? 2nd Place: Firenze Guelfi Guelfi finished the season the same way they started it, winning. The competiti

Damn, it felt amazing to see these teams back on the field after a short break. The energy is high, the stakes are real, and the road to the throne officially begins. It’s ride or die now, and it’s kicking off in full force. All eyes were on these 2 playoff-opening matchups this past weekend. Grizzlys - Perpignan @ Flash - La Courneuve Running back Jason Bofumba was the first to light things up, striking early with a thunderous 35-yard run that electrified the field. It wa

PSA: It’s still very, very early. This list will move a lot each week — this is just a baseline to spark conversation. North 1st. Dresden Monarchs I still have Dresden as my favorite to win the whole thing… buuuut Potsdam could also be in this spot. The Monarchs are looking super solid so far — Tyler Hudson has been going absolutely insane on offense. The defense could clean some things up, but I still really like this squad.
