The league

One league. Six cities. A pathway from youth to pro.

NEXTPlay™ launches nationally in spring 2028 across six major U.S. markets through NEXTPlay PRO™, playing in major NBA and NHL arenas with national and worldwide media distribution.

Three integrated divisions, NEXTPlay PRO™, NEXTPlay FLAG™ and NEXTPlay FUTURES™, create the game's first youth-to-pro pathway within one national football ecosystem.

  • Spring 2028The inaugural PRO seasonSix founding teams, one national league.
  • Six citiesAtlanta, Chicago, Colorado, Dallas, Los Angeles, SeattleEach team plays in its city's major arena.
  • Three divisionsYouth, development and proFootball on the calendar nearly all year.

The game

Faster. Closer. Full contact.

  • 7-vs-7 full contact

    Fewer players and more open field. Continuous possession and more scoring than the eleven-a-side game, with every snap full contact.

  • Arena-native

    Played indoors in major arenas. Seats close to the field, controlled conditions and no weather delays.

  • Built for broadcast and social

    The clock, possessions and stoppages are designed around the live broadcast and the highlights you share after it.

  • AI-assisted play-calling and athlete guidance

    Real-time insight supports coaches' calls, guides athletes on the field and helps officials get it right, with contact monitored on every snap.
