The Independent Professional Football League is opening opportunities for Athletes of all ages to earn a salary, while entertaining fans in stadiums and on TV. The IPFL is a New Level of Professional Football, with 40 Franchise Teams, in 20 States. All 40 Teams are owned by NFL Hall of Famers and Former NFL Superstars. The league is designed to offer players a place to grow from age 8 years old to Adult. The IPFL is structured with five (5) Age Divisions: Little Kids age 8-9; Big Kids age 10-11; Youth ages 12-14; Teens age 15-17; and Adult age 18+. All divisions are paid positions for all the players. The IPFL pays for all players travel and expenses during the IPFL Season. Parents do not have to raise money to pay for their Kids to play, nor do they have to bare the expense of getting them to the games. The IPFL is structured to make the players shine as bright as the NFL Players. All IPFL Games are professionally Filmed and Televised on Broadcast, Cable and Streaming Platforms. The goal of Indie Pro Football is to fill a major void in the Football World by treating the Athletes the way they deserve to be treated, in an Industry where billions of dollars are made from their performances. The IPFL has structured a program where the Kids salaries are dispersed with 50% paid upfront and 50% placed in an Escrow that earns interest, which they can access on their 17th Birthdate.
Our mission is to inspire and empower athletes of all levels by providing exceptional products and services that enhance their performance and engagement with the sports they love. We believe in fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can participate, celebrate, and thrive through sports. Our goal is to create transformative experiences that resonate with our community and elevate the sporting journey.
The IPFL has also created programs to help players to advance in Financial Literacy, Moral Values, and Personal Character, to create not only Great Athletes but also Great People. The majority percentage of professional football players, college football players, and youth football players are black. But the Leagues they dominate, are all owned and operated by figures of an opposite race. To date, there has never been a black-owned football team, and the current “Owners” are only minority percentage owners. Much like saying your money is good enough to sit in the room, but not enough to have a voice.

The two (2) teams with the best record from each territory will automatically advance to the 2nd round of The Showdown™, which means these teams are not required to play in the first round, but will still receive their Game Day Compensation.
THE IPFL ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN™ is a Single Round Elimination Tournament comprised of the two (2) Winning Teams from each AIS Territory. The Ultimate Showdown winner from each territory will advance to compete in The IPFL Big “O” Bowl™.
