SIOUX CITY, IA – The CIF announced today its revised 16-week, 48-game regular-season schedule for 2022, which kicks off league play on Saturday night, March 12, with defending CIF Champion Omaha Beef hosting the newly rebranded Southwest Kansas Storm.
The 2022 CIF schedule will include 5 returning teams, along with 3 new first-year teams, Topeka Tropics, Billings Outlaws, and Rapid City Marshals. The 2022 season will see a renewed focus on operational standards and fan engagement.
The CIF will be entering its 8th season, featuring 8 teams, playing 10 regular season games each. The top 6 teams in the standings will qualify for the 2022 playoffs with the top 2 teams receiving a first-round bye.
“The CIF continues to grow into new markets, add top players, and engage our fans at the highest level. 2022 will be a significant year for the league and we have announcements soon that will disrupt the environment of spring football in the United States. For too long, indoor football has operated without innovation. It is time to change the culture of the sport and re-engage our fans and players with an exciting and different product. The CIF is fully committed to innovating this great game,” said Commissioner J.R. Bond.
