The new Yahoo Sports streaming TV channel will serve as the exclusive home for 59 IFL games in 2026.
Yahoo Sports, C15 Studio, and the Indoor Football League (IFL) have partnered to bring live football coverage to Yahoo Sports Network, the new streaming TV channel available on major FAST platforms and at yahoosports.tv.
Yahoo Sports Network is operated by C15 Studio and will exclusively host 59 live IFL games in 2026, including:
- A slate of marquee Friday and Saturday night match ups.
- Two first-round playoff games.
- The IFL Eastern Conference Championship.
Produced by the IFL, all broadcasts will be viewable wherever Yahoo Sports Network is distributed. This includes FAST platforms such as Amazon Fire TV, Fubo, LG Channels, Plex, Prime Video, Sling Freestream, and The Roku Channel, as well as yahoosports.tv, the central hub for Yahoo Sports video content.
These games join an expanding lineup of football programming already featured on Yahoo Sports Network, including Football 301, Inside Coverage, Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, College Football Enquirer, and Josh Pate's College Football Show.
Select match ups will highlight an all-Yahoo Sports commentary team Jason Fitz (co-host of Yahoo Sports Daily and host of Fantasy Football Live), Nate Tice (host of Football 301), and Caroline Fenton (co-host of Yahoo Sports Daily and Hoops 360).
"We're thrilled to bring the energy and excitement of live IFL action to Yahoo Sports Network," said Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group. "These broadcasts complement our growing portfolio of football content and reinforce Yahoo Sports Network as a year-round destination for fans."
"We are excited to introduce the IFL to the Yahoo Sports Network audience," said Todd Tryon, Commissioner of the Indoor Football League. "This is a major milestone for both organizations. Our coaches and players now have expanded opportunities to showcase their talent, and fans have more ways to enjoy the action through Yahoo's viewing platforms."
"This partnership with Yahoo Sports Network delivers tremendous exposure for our corporate partners," said Jared Widman, President of the Indoor Football League Business Division. "Yahoo is committed to expanding its footprint by helping us grow ours. We're confident this collaboration will create new opportunities for sponsors to reach a passionate, nationwide audience."
"Yahoo Sports Network isn't just providing distribution—they're activating their entire ecosystem around the IFL because they believe in our product," said Eric Van Beek, Chief Operations & Brand Officer of the IFL. "With their FAST channel, web and mobile platforms, and global brand reach, this partnership expands visibility for our league, our players, and our fans more than ever before. It's a transformational moment for the IFL."
The 2026 IFL season begins in March. The league will announce its full broadcast schedule including all Yahoo Sports Network match ups at a later date.
