Arena Football One (AF1) is a professional arena football league based in Nashville, Tennessee, that began play in 2025. The league was founded by the eight teams who had survived the 2024 Arena Football League season. The eight founding teams, only six of which would survive to the league's first game, attempted to add expansion teams, none of which would survive to the league's first game, and brought in teams from other leagues.
