League Schedule

a.  Game Schedule:  The SFFL regular season schedule will consist of 14 games played through the first 14 weeks of the NFL season.  Our playoffs will be during NFL Weeks 15-17.  We do not play during the NFL Week 18.

(1)   Double-Header Games: The 2023 season will NOT include any double-header games.

(2)  Division Games:  There will be six games played against teams within the same division, playing each opponent twice times.

(3)  Inter-Division Games:  There will be eight games played against teams within the other two divisions, playing the eight opponents once.

b.  Scheduled Game:  An SFFL scheduled game begins at the kick-off of the first NFL game each week.  Sometimes this will be Thursday and sometimes this will be Sunday.  An SFFL scheduled game is over at the end of the last NFL game each week.  Usually this is Monday night’s NFL.

c.  Season:  A complete SFFL season begins each year with the Spring Owners' Meeting ebruary and ends in December, with the Week 17 Championship Round.  The "off-season" will run from the Spring Owners' Meeting until Draft day.  The "regular season" will start on Draft Day and end with the Week 17 Championship Round.

d.  Owner’s Meeting:  In the Spring of each year, owners will meet to pull the next season's drat order, discuss proposed rules changes, and lessons learned from the previous season.

(1)  Any proposed rule changes during the owners' meeting requires majority vote of those in attendance.

(2)  Owners not able to attend the meeting may submit topics for discussion to the commissioner.  The owner's concern will be discussed by attendees, and if a rule vote is determined necessary a vote will be conducted.  However, an absentee vote does not count.

​e.  Downtime:  There is no activity between the Week 17 Championship Round and the Spring Owners' Meeting.  The "off season" is a time minimal to no league activity.

(1)  Off Season:  This is the time used by the commissioner to update the SFFL web site with statistics, upcoming season's game schedule, draft board and revised rules (if applicable).  Therefore, the only activity is beginning draft preparations by the owners.

​(2)  August:  Keeper Players (if applicable) are announced on July 31st and draft day normally takes place in late August.  Therefore there is no activity to provide time for final draft preparation.
