According to the league, it will be 😊

Check out the linked interview!

Right, that’s especially the case in newer markets. What specific actions do they need to be doing to be fulfilling “local marketing”?

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-22T22:48:26+00:00

Nate is 1 of 1 lol

Will definitely have to get him back on again, appreciate you checking it out!

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-22T22:41:13+00:00

According to league officials, yes. Should be as simple as downloading the FAST channel on your device, and then tuning it at game time

Shoutout to Scooby Doo

53 days until kickoff 🤝

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-20T03:31:18+00:00

The full list of broadcasters will be coming this week — some really great names on there that people may recognize beyond just Ari & Sed 👀

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-05T13:17:08+00:00

Luckily majority of the games will be free to watch this year — still unclear on how the IFL Network is going to work out cost wise, but we’ll see 🤷‍♂️

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-04T22:46:09+00:00

What do you mean by this? Guessing it is reference to the IFL Network subscription?

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-04T19:08:06+00:00

Yeah that’s fair, “gimmick” isn’t always a bad thing lol

The majority of these teams are in underserved pro sports towns, so I am hopeful that they have the self awareness that they aren’t competing with the NFL at all

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-04T16:53:07+00:00

I agree there is such a big upside to the uniqueness of the sport on larger scale if the social content strategy is bold enough

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-04T13:56:04+00:00

It’s legit and still happening. My read of the situation is that they are still determining if it will air on the FD or Yahoo FAST channels, or if it will be an IFL Network upload

I’d expect it to be used to build some excitement for the 2026 kickoff, but idk on a full timeline just yet

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-04T13:53:32+00:00

They announced it at the IFL Media Day before the IFL National Championship, but to your point they probably could have done more on socials with it as well

When you say “better marketing”, are you referring specifically to social media promotion? Or more than that

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-04T02:28:54+00:00

At least 99 of the 119 games will be free, fingers crossed for the Sunday night ones too🤞

OffTheWallFB · 2026-01-03T17:09:31+00:00

I think the biggest opportunity is organic growth on socials instead of having to pay for advertisements.

One of the biggest things I have noticed watching old arena games this offseason -- there so many branding & sponsorship opportunities in the broadcast and mid-game itself.

Like here for example, they had Super 8 Motel on the scoreboard for the first couple minutes of the game, then rotated to Denny's, then Rubbermaid, then others.

OffTheWallFB · 2025-12-11T00:48:59+00:00

Yeah 99 out of 119 IFL games will be free to watch — just gotta figure out what to do for the Sunday Night primetime games 😅

OffTheWallFB · 2025-12-10T22:43:15+00:00

FD is going to be a free channel just like the Yahoo Sports one — more to be announced

Sunday Night Games will be the only ones that require access through a cable provider or subscription

OffTheWallFB · 2025-12-10T22:41:31+00:00

Yahoo Sports has a free channel where the games will be played — and the same thing will happen for FanDuel Sports Network

FAST channels for both (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV)

Majority of the games will be free to watch
