Football is a broad sport. I didn't know that there were so many different leagues in football. There is the national Arena league NAL. It is a professional indoor football league that began play in 2017 and has been primarily based on the East Coast of the United States. For the upcoming 2024 season, the league consists of eight teams.

In August 2023, the league announced it had added the Omaha Beef and Sioux City Bandits from Champions Indoor Football for the 2024 season. On August 22, 2023, the Jacksonville Sharks announced they were joining the Indoor Football League (IFL). The league added the expansion Colorado Spartans, based out of Loveland, Colorado, on August 31. Also on August 31, the Warbirds, which had been renamed as the West Texas Desert Hawks, were announced as joining the relaunched Arena Football League. On September 14, the Topeka Tropics also joined the NAL from the CIF. On September 21, the two-time American West Football Conference champions Idaho Horsemen joined the NAL. On September 26, the San Antonio Gunslingers were announced as also joining the IFL. The next day, the North Texas Bulls announced their membership in the NAL. On October 16, the Oklahoma Flying Aces were as announced as the eighth and final team for the 2024 NAL season.
