The league started operations in 2001, with many teams coming from <a href="/wiki/Indoor_Football_League_(1999%E2%80%932000)" title="Indoor Football League (1999–2000)">Indoor Football League</a> being bought the previous year and folding operations. In 2002, the league added in the teams from the <a href="/wiki/Indoor_Professional_Football_League" title="Indoor Professional Football League">Indoor Professional Football League</a>. 2003 was the most successful year for the league as 24 teams played a mostly complete schedule, with few cancellations. </p><p>Before the 2005 season, nine teams left the league to form <a href="/wiki/United_Indoor_Football" title="United Indoor Football">United Indoor Football</a>. That same year, the <a href="/wiki/Intense_Football_League" title="Intense Football League">Intense Football League</a> ceased operations and four teams from there joined the league.

Ten expansion teams were added to the league, but nine of them had problems that reflected badly on the league. The most notable situation was the owner of the <a href="/wiki/Montgomery_Maulers" class="mw-redirect" title="Montgomery Maulers">Montgomery Maulers</a> firing the entire team.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> None of the ten expansion teams returned to the league for the next season. </p><p>The 2007 season started with the addition of several league-owned expansion teams, primarily to supplement games with the returning teams. However, the teams were all poorly funded and had problems fielding competitive squads. The <a href="/wiki/San_Diego_Shockwave" title="San Diego Shockwave">San Diego Shockwave</a> were declared the official league champion. The league then officially folded prior to the 2008 season. </p><p>In 2016, a new website announced that the league operations were relaunched by Carolyn Shiver with announced goal of bringing 34 teams into the former AFL markets starting in the 2017 season.
