The 2025 ELF season is the fifth season of the European League of Football, a professional American football league based in Europe. Sixteen teams from nine countries will participate. The season started on May 17, 2025, and will conclude with the ELF Championship Game in the MHPArena Stuttgart, Germany on September 7, 2025.

Format

The 16 teams are divided into four divisions of 4 teams. Each team plays 12 games during the regular season, six in the division and two games versus one from each other division.

On January 29, 2025 the league announced to expand the homegrown territories for multiple teams. Most of each teams' players need to be homegrown, i.e. they need to have started playing football in the same country that the team is based in. Now, players from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Ukraine will also be considered homegrown for the Panthers Wrocław, players from Slovakia are considered homegrown for the Prague Lions, and players from Romania and Serbia for the Fehérvár Enthroners. Players from western Northern Italy are considered homegrown for the Helvetic Mercenaries while those from eastern Northern Italy are so for the two Austrian franchises.[1] The Nordic Storm had already been announced as having Denmark and Sweden as their homegrown territory in September.[2]

Of the 17 teams from the 2024 season, 15 are competing in 2025, and are joined by one new expansion team: the Nordic Storm. Teams not returning for the new season are the Barcelona Dragons, and the Milano Seamen, the latter on hiatus with plans to return to the league in 2026.

Berlin Thunder left the Großes Stadion of Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn-Sportpark whose demolition started after the 2024 season, and planned to move to the adjacent Kleines Stadion after expanding it with temporary stands for 3,500 to 5,000 people.[3] After these plans fell through[4][5] Thunder moved into the Preussenstadion.[6] The Helvetic Mercenaries are moving to the Lidl Arena in Wil where the Helvetic Guards played during their only season in 2023. The Hamburg Sea Devils will return to Stadion Hoheluft, after playing home games in stadiums all over northern Germany.
