The International Fight League is the world’s first team-based professional mixed martial arts league, bringing you the most action-packed fighting events possible. Competitions are decided with a best of five series between two teams of five fighters each, using a blend of boxing, kickboxing, submission grappling, and wrestling (collectively known as mixed martial arts, or MMA) to win matches by knockout, submission, or judges’ decision. The teams are coached by world-renowned veterans of the sport, many of whom still compete in various superfights throughout the season.

Matches consist of up to three four-minute rounds, fought inside a five-roped boxing ring. Each team has one representative fighter in each of the five weight classes: lightweight (155 lbs.), welterweight (170 lbs.), middleweight (185 lbs.), light heavyweight (205 lbs.), heavyweight (265 lbs.).

The teams with the best overall records at the end of the regular season (January – June), advance to the postseason (August – September) to compete for the World Team Championship and the IFL Championship Ring.
