The 16 team European League of Football has announced the groupings of the four divisions for the 2025 season, the North, South, East and West.
In the North Division, back-to-back champions, the Rhein Fire, will face the Berlin Thunder and the Hamburg Sea Devils, both from Germany, as well as ELF newcomer the Nordic Storm. The franchise from Denmark enters the league with high ambitions, bolstered by the signings of quarterback Jadrian Clark (MVP 2023) and running back Glen Toonga (MVP 2024). The two top stars are set to face their former teammates from the Fire in at least two matchups.
The South Division features four teams from four different countries competing for playoff spots: the Helvetic Mercenaries from Switzerland, Spain’s Madrid Bravos. the Munich Ravens from Germany, and Austria’s Raiders Tirol.
The East Division will also have a very international flair in its divisional games, with the Fehérvár Enthroners from Hungary, the Prague Lions from the Czech Republic, the Vienna Vikings (2022 champions), and the Panthers Wroclaw from Poland facing off.
In the West Division, the Paris Musketeers from France will go up against three German teams: 2023 finalists, the Stuttgart Surge, as well as the Frankfurt Galaxy, the first ELF Champion from 2021, and the Cologne Centurions.
Teams will play home-and-away games within their divisions, along with six inter-divisional matchups, which will be announced soon.
