Yahoo Sports is stepping deeper into the world of live football, announcing that its streaming TV channel, Yahoo Sports Network, will become the exclusive home for 59 Indoor Football League (IFL) games during the 2026 season.

Major Football Partnership Announced

Yahoo Sports, C15 Studio, and the IFL have joined forces to bring a full slate of indoor football matchups to viewers on Yahoo Sports Network. Fans will get access to Friday and Saturday night games, two first-round playoff games, and the Eastern Conference Championship.

The broadcasts—produced by the IFL—will be available on major FAST platforms including Amazon Fire TV, Fubo, LG Channels, Plex, Prime Video, Sling Freestream, and The Roku Channel, along with the network’s hub at yahoosports.tv.

Growing Lineup of Football Content

This move adds even more football programming to the Yahoo Sports Network catalog, which already features shows like Football 301, Inside Coverage, Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, College Football Enquirer, and Josh Pate’s College Football Show. Some games will be called by an all-Yahoo broadcast crew: Jason Fitz, Nate Tice, and Caroline Fenton.

“We’re thrilled to add the energy and excitement of live IFL action to our Yahoo Sports Network programming,” said Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group. “These broadcasts pair perfectly with our original football shows.”

A Big Step for the IFL

League leaders say the partnership boosts visibility for players, coaches, and sponsors.

“We are excited to bring the IFL to the Yahoo Sports Network audience,” said IFL Commissioner Todd Tryon. “This is a big step for both of us.”

“Yahoo is all in on growing their presence by helping us grow ours,” added Jared Widman, President of the IFL Business Division.

Eric Van Beek, the league’s Chief Operations & Brand Officer, called it “transformational for the visibility of the IFL.”

The 2026 IFL season begins in March, with the full broadcast schedule to be released at a later date.
