Format
editThe league is divided into three conferences, North, Central and South. Each team plays 12 games during the regular season: twice against their conference rivals, and twice against three of the teams from the other conferences. The top team in each conference, as well as the best second-place team, qualify for the playoffs.[4]
Teams
editOn top of the eight inaugural season teams, the league expanded with four new franchises. On September 25, 2021, the Vienna Vikings, Raiders Tirol as well as Rhein Fire were officially introduced as new teams.[5] On October 15, 2021 the addition of the Istanbul Rams was announced.[6] First, the Rams home field was the Yusuf Ziya Öniş Stadium but was later changed.[7]
Rosters
editLike last season, there is a limit of 4 US American, Canadian, Mexican or Japanese players per roster, and two on the field at the same time, but people who are dual citizens of the U.S. and a EU-member country are not counted towards that limit in keeping with the Bosman ruling. There is also a limit of 8 non-American foreigners per roster.[10] Brazilian players do not count towards the import quota.[11] The overall roster limit is 55 active Players and 5 spots on the practice squad.
Roster moves
editIn the 2022 preseason, several ELF players were picked up by other professional leagues, including 2021 season MVP Madre London. ELF contracts allow for premature termination in case professional North American leagues want to sign these players.
- NFL IPP Program: Marcel Dabo (Stuttgart Surge), Adedayo Odeleye (Berlin Thunder)
- Canadian Football League: Keanu Ebanks (Panthers Wrocław), Seantavius Jones (Berlin Thunder), Anthony Mahoungou (Frankfurt Galaxy)
- United States Football League: Madre London (Cologne Centurions), Kolin Hill (Berlin Thunder), Dartez Jacobs (Raiders Tirol), Diondre Overton (Vienna Vikings), KaVontae Turpin (Panthers Wrocław), Dale Warren (Stuttgart Surge)
Player representation
editAfter players complained of subpar housing conditions for "import" players of the Frankfurt Galaxy franchise, an unofficial union, based in Switzerland was formed under the name of European League of Football Players Association (ELFPA).[12] Representatives of this union are not public and concrete measures haven't been taken so far.
In order to represent active players of the ELF, the league announced the Players Committee for the 2022 season. It consists of two players of each franchise and can hold regular meetings. Out of this committee two spokespersons are elected which are in contact with the commissioner and the Competition Committee of the league.[13]
Rule changes
editAfter the inaugural season, in which the ELF mostly used modified NFL rules (with the exception of the overtime rule, which was based on that of college football – but never used during the entire season as no overtime needed to be played), the league announced its first rule change for the second season. The kick-off rule has been modified to increase player safety, and has been taken from the second iteration of the XFL. According to the new rule, teams will now face each other 5 yards apart, and can only start moving after the returner catches the kickoff, or 3 seconds after the ball hits the ground.[14]
After making its ELF debut in the 2021 championship game, Instant Replay will be used for the entirety of the 2022 season.[15] Like in the NFL, every coach has two challenges per game, with the possibility of a third if both of the challenges are successful.
All teams are not allowed to start organised team activities before May 1, 2022 with import players and padded training. The league set this rule to ensure competitive balance, in which teams with more funds can pay their import players earlier. Strength and conditioning sessions and individual training are not affected by this rule.
Regular season
editSchedule
editThe schedule for the 2022 season was released on February 14, 2022. For international matches of the IFAF the league has agreed to plan for a break.[16]

In case ties inside and between the conferences have to be broken, the rules are:[93]
- Number of wins
- Head-to-head matchup[A]
- Points difference in head-to-head matchups[A]
- Points scored at away games of head-to-head matchups[A]
- Total points difference
- Total points scored
- Point scored at away games
- Coin toss performed by the Commissioner or a person (e.g., a prominent sportsmen) determined by the Commissioner
This is notably different from tiebreakers used in the NFL which take strength of schedule into account or the German Football League which values the head-to-head as the first tiebreaker for teams with the same win–loss record, in part to discourage running up the score.
Play-offs
editThe semifinal games were played on September 10 and 11, 2022. The championship game was played on September 25 in Klagenfurt, Austria.
