The Empire Football League met recently to kickoff their 2009 season. During this meeting, the season schedule was modified due to leaves of absence taken by Ottawa/Joliet and Amsterdam. With the Scranton Eagles also currently on leave of absence, this now results in 6 active EFL teams for the 2009 season.

The EFL season starts July 11^th, has a bye September 5^th and ends September 19^th.  The EFL Playoffs will take place on September 26^th, October 3^rd and will conclude with the EFL Championship Game on October 10^th.    

The Empire Football League is in its 41^st season of playing football and is celebrating its 40^th Anniversary this year (2009). We are excited about the 2009 season and remain committed to providing the best semi pro football for our member teams and their communities.
