A New Era Dawns: SFLm Season 11 Kicks Off August 5th!
ARTICLE BY ELI DEIOMES [S'cylle Aldmiir] | SFLm Media Director
Get ready, rookies and die-hards alike — the Simulation Football League minor league (SFLm) is about to roar back to life, and Season 11 promises bigger hits, bolder stories, and fresh faces ready to carve their names into league history.
With teams from coast to coast gearing up for another run at glory, this year’s kickoff is more than just a new season — it’s a proving ground for future legends.
The Stage is Set: Championship Rematch Ignites Opening Night!
This isn’t your typical Week 1 clash. On Tuesday, August 5th, the defending champs, the San Jose Flight, face off against the battle-hardened New York Gargoyles in a rematch straight out of last season’s title game.
Last time they met, the Flight soared to a storybook finish under the lights. But this time? Both squads are back with a vengeance — and the stakes are sky-high.
“This is going to be one hell of a season opener,” says Commissioner Alex West, who knows better than anyone that when these two teams collide, fireworks follow.
Assistant Developer J.W. Hartshorn, proud Head Coach of the San Jose Flight, adds: “We’re coming in hungry. New York wants payback, but our guys have a legacy to defend — and we’ve got some new minds on the sidelines who are ready to put on a show.”
The result? A game you won’t want to miss!
New Faces, New Rivalries: Expansion Takes Flight
If you think the excitement stops with a championship rematch — think again. Thursday, August 7th, marks the official debut of the SFLm’s newest additions:
Anchorage Wolves — fierce, disciplined, and hungry to prove they belong.
San Diego Aces — unpredictable and built for big moments.
Birmingham Hellhounds — relentless, scrappy, and ready to bite.
In their inaugural matchups, Anchorage will travel cross-country to challenge the Philadelphia Cougars, while San Diego and Birmingham will face off in what promises to be the first chapter of a wild, fiery rivalry.
The energy is electric — and so are the unknowns. Will a rookie squad shock the league with an early upset? Or will the seasoned franchises hold their ground?
