Firstly I'd like to thank the mods who I reached out to for approving this post. Our league cannot grow without your support!

Football is almost back! As exciting as that is, what if I told you that there's a place where you could root for a new football team year round with your own player on it? The International Simulation Football League (ISFL) gives you the opportunity to create your own player, go through real drafts, join teams managed by real users, and fight for a chance at the Ultimus Trophy. And of course, play fantasy football with yours and others players! Our free to play, community run league has been going strong now since 2016 and there has never been a better time to join than now.

A very bare bones way to describe our league is a cross between an RPG and fantasy football, with a healthy serving of an online community.

League Features:

-30+ position and archetype combinations to choose from

-Attribute and point progression system (TPE) to level up your player

-8 developmental teams and 14 pro teams

-Live draft and award presentations

-Games streamed on YouTube 5 days per week (2 Developmental and 3 Pro Team games), with live commentary in our Discord servers

-Fantasy ISFL draft leagues with league money and TPE rewards

-User-driven and active community

-Always 100% FREE. You cannot pay to get ahead of others

Quick Rundown, wall of text

The ISFL is a free online sim league where you create a professional football player and control their journey through the pros from pre-draft to retirement. With every position available and multiple archetypes per position there are more than 30 unique player types available, anything from a ball hawk safety to a receiving running back and even a strong legged kicker. Your player will first get drafted to the DSFL (Developmental Simulation Football League) and then after a season will proceed to the ISFL Draft.

Your player will compete in games (simulated in Draft Day Sports Pro Football 2021) two-three times a week for the duration of each season, culminating in playoffs and hopefully a chance to win the coveted Ultimus Championship. Each game premieres on our Youtube Channel nightly, Monday-Friday and hosted live with commentary through our Discord server. Each 16 game season lasts approximately 6 weeks, including playoffs. Following playoffs is a 2 week offseason. The offseason culminates in the DSFL and ISFL drafts setting the stage for the next season.

Complete stats are recorded in our league index, players are encouraged to create and develop their own wiki page within the league wiki and we even have tools for tracking historical stat records and our own Hall of Fame.

With 22 teams across the developmental and major leagues the ISFL is also a flourishing community of active users. Joining a team not only gives you the opportunity to live out your dreams as a professional athlete but also get the opportunity to engage with like minded people who enjoy getting a bit nerdy about football. Form tight knit bonds with your teammates and a host of former players as you root for your team to go all the way!

Sounds great, how do I start?

If you want to jump in right away our Rookie Discord Server is the perfect place. Our team of Rookie Mentors and active user base will not hesitate to answer any questions and steer you in the right direction as you Create Your Player in our Portal. If you want to read more before you dive in, check out our text Rookie Guide. It is a great resource to guide you through the on-boarding process.

What happens after I make my player?

After making your player you will be scouted by teams that are entirely run by other users in the league and drafted to a developmental team during the DSFL Draft which will premiere on Thursday February 5th on our YouTube channel. In the meantime you will participate in the Prospect Bowl where you will show off what you got to all the scouts.

During your player’s career, you can improve their attributes by spending 10-15 minutes completing optional tasks each week, like predicting the winners of each game or mocking the 1st round of the draft. The league is 100% free - there is no "pay to win" and nothing costs real money to unlock. You will earn fake league currency through your player's contracts or through creating content like written articles, graphics, or podcasts. You can use it to further upgrade your player and do fun things like collecting trading cards of ISFL players!

We are always looking for fun new people to join our league! Thanks for reading and feel free to post any comments under this post or in our rookie discord server.

Football offseason got you down? What if I told you there's a place where you can root for a football team year round with your own player on it?

The International Simulation Football League (ISFL) is a free (no pay elements at all), community run sim league where you create your own professional football player and guide their career from predraft hopeful to championship contender. Go through real drafts, join teams managed by real users, and fight for a chance to hoist the Ultimus Trophy. The league has been going strong since 2016, and the upcoming offseason is a great time to jump in as part of the next rookie class. A very bare bones way to describe our league is its a cross between an RPG and fantasy football, with a healthy serving of an online community.

What does that actually look like?

You'll start by creating a player on our portal; with 30+ position and archetype combinations available, there's a lot of room to build something that fits your style. Want to be a ball hawk safety? A receiving back? A strong legged kicker? Go for whatever sounds the most fun.

Once your player is created, GMs from our developmental league teams will start scouting you for the DSFL Draft. From there, your player competes in games simulated in Draft Day Sports Pro Football 2021 and streamed on our YouTube channel five nights a week, Monday through Friday, with live commentary on Discord. Each season runs about 6 weeks including playoffs, followed by a 2 week offseason capped off by the DSFL and ISFL drafts.

Over the course of your career, you'll earn skill points by spending about 15 minutes a week on optional activities; things like predicting game outcomes, responding to fun prompts, or mocking the first round of the draft. You can also earn league currency through your player's contracts or by creating content like articles, graphics, or podcasts. Use it to upgrade your player or collect trading cards of other ISFL players. The league is completely free; no pay-to-win, no hidden costs, nothing to unlock with real money.

What about the community?

With 22 teams across the developmental and pro leagues, the ISFL is home to an active, welcoming group of people who enjoy getting a bit nerdy about football. You'll form bonds with your teammates, dig into stats and league history on our wiki, play fantasy football with yours and others' players, and have a community to chat with daily. It's as much a hangout as it is a league.

Go through real drafts, join teams managed by real users, and fight for a chance to hoist the Ultimus Trophy. The league has been going strong since 2016, and the upcoming offseason is a great time to jump in as part of the next rookie class. A very bare bones way to describe our league is its a cross between an RPG and fantasy football, with a healthy serving of an online community.

What does that actually look like?

You'll start by creating a player on our portal; with 30+ position and archetype combinations available, there's a lot of room to build something that fits your style. Want to be a ball hawk safety? A receiving back? A strong legged kicker? Go for whatever sounds the most fun.

Once your player is created, GMs from our developmental league teams will start scouting you for the DSFL Draft. From there, your player competes in games simulated in Draft Day Sports Pro Football 2021 and streamed on our YouTube channel five nights a week, Monday through Friday, with live commentary on Discord. Each season runs about 6 weeks including playoffs, followed by a 2 week offseason capped off by the DSFL and ISFL drafts.

Over the course of your career, you'll earn skill points by spending about 15 minutes a week on optional activities; things like predicting game outcomes, responding to fun prompts, or mocking the first round of the draft. You can also earn league currency through your player's contracts or by creating content like articles, graphics, or podcasts. Use it to upgrade your player or collect trading cards of other ISFL players. The league is completely free; no pay-to-win, no hidden costs, nothing to unlock with real money.

What about the community?

With 22 teams across the developmental and pro leagues, the ISFL is home to an active, welcoming group of people who enjoy getting a bit nerdy about football. You'll form bonds with your teammates, dig into stats and league history on our wiki, play fantasy football with yours and others' players, and have a community to chat with daily. It's as much a hangout as it is a league.
