MidStates Football League

The MSFL
​
The Mid States Football League is one of the premiere semi-pro football leagues in the upper Midwest. The league is based in Chicago.
​
The MSFL began in 1999 with five teams made up of the Chicago Mavericks, Chicago Panthers, Force of Illinois, Indianapolis Warriors, and Metro East Stallions. Three teams, past and present, have won national semi-pro football championships under the MSFL banner; the Detroit Seminoles in 2002, the Chicago Thunder in 2006 and 2008, and the Racine Raiders in 2012.
​
The MSFL has the strongest team line-up in the Midwest. The future of the league looks promising. Teams will come and go. But as the world of semi-pro football stabilizes after years of upshot expansions, the Mid States Football League will continue to grow, and be a competitive league that will bring exciting minor league football to the region.
