The National Arena League (NAL) is a professional indoor football league that began play in 2017. The NAL is a partner of The Indoor Football League (IFL). The league was founded by Jack Bowman, who also served as the first commissioner. The league's inaugural season featured eight teams playing a 10-game regular season schedule. The top four teams qualified for the playoffs, with the No. 1 seed hosting the No. 4 seed and the No. 2 seed hosting the No. 3 seed in the semifinal round. The two semifinal winners advanced to the NAL Championship Game, with the winner being crowned the league's first champion.
In 2018, the league expanded to ten teams with the addition of two expansion teams, the Jersey Flight and Massachusetts Pirates. The league also added a new divisional alignment, splitting the league into an East Division and West Division. The regular season schedule was expanded to 12 games, with each team playing six divisional opponents and four non-divisional opponents. The top four teams in each division qualified for the playoffs, with the divisional rounds being played at the home arena of the higher-seeded team. The two divisional winners advanced to the NAL Championship Game.
In 2019, the league expanded to 12 teams with the addition of two expansion teams, the Carolina Cobras and the Orlando Predators. The league also switched to a conference alignment, splitting the league into an American Conference and National Conference. The regular season schedule was unchanged from the previous year. The top four teams in each conference qualified for the playoffs, with the conference semifinals and finals being played at the home arena of the higher-seeded team. The two conference winners advanced to the NAL Championship Game. The league's current champions are the Carolina Cobras, who defeated the Jacksonville Sharks in the 2019 NAL Championship Game.
