The 2024 Indoor Football League season will be the sixteenth season of the Indoor Football League (IFL). It will also be the second year it will function as a de facto minor league of the XFL, and now the USFL due to the leagues merging into the UFL.
Offseason
IFL to XFL
During the 2023 XFL Draft, reigning IFL Most Valuable Player, T. J. Edwards, and Defensive Rookie of the Year, Kordell Jackson, were drafted by the San Antonio Brahmas and the Orlando Guardians respectively.[1]
Expansion
On August 20, 2023, the league announced they would be adding the three-time, and defending, National Arena League champions in the Jacksonville Sharks as their 15th franchise.[2] On September 26, the league added the San Antonio Gunslingers as their 16th franchise to even out the conferences.[3] The Bismarck Bucks, which last played in the 2022 season, delayed their return to 2025,[4] while the prospective Columbus Wild Dogs (first announced for the 2020 season) announced they will push their inaugural season to 2025.[5]
Relocation
On November 6, 2023, the Arizona Rattlers announced their move to Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona and the Massachusetts Pirates announced that they had signed a multi-year lease with the Tsongas Center at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, beginning with this season.[6][7]
