Report

Weeks 1-3 23 April – 8 May 2021

Playing a 3-game schedule between themselves to start the 2021 Indoor Football League schedule in USA, Green Bay Blizzard (Wisconsin) and Massachusetts Pirates both got off to 2-1 Wins-Losses starts while Bismarck Bucks (North Dakota) started 1-1 and expansion franchise Louisville Xtreme got off to an 0-2 start. The Blizzard lost their opening game 36-41 at home to Bismarck, but then won 40-36 at home to Massachusetts before a much easier 49-29 victory over the Xtreme. The Pirates had big wins over both Louisville Xtreme (49-18 on opening day) and 36-18 versus Bismarck Bucks.

Week 4 15-16 May 2021

Bismarck Bucks moved to 2-1 with a win over Green Bay Blizzard, which dropped the Blizzard to 2-2. Meanwhile, most of the rest of the League played their opening games. Iowa Barnstormers defeated Sioux Falls Storm 56-36, early indication that the Storm’s long-standing record of Bowl wins and appearances may be threatened in 2021. Making their debut were Frisco Fighters, from Texas, who triumphed in their first ever game 36-33 at Spokane Shock of Washington State, one of the oldest of the Arena Indoor Football teams.

About

For the 2021 season the Indoor Football League added the Louisville Xtreme and Northern Arizona Wranglers. The Indoor Football League is a AAA American Football League played Reduced Numbers (8v8) Arena Indoor American Football primarily in the American Mid-West & West. Previously AA, it has since the demise of the AAA Arena Football League after the 2019 season, it has expanded its Geographic Reach, and has taken the AFL’s position as the AAA League in Indoor/Arena Football. This version of American Football is most popular in Mexico, hence names like Tucson Sugar Skulls. LEXFA (Liga Extrema de Futbol Arena) in Mexico is the Major League (and also one of four Mexican Majors)
