Indoor Football League Celebrates Record-Breaking Weekend
April 25, 2025 - Indoor Football League (IFL) News Release
The Indoor Football League (IFL) celebrated a landmark weekend, setting new benchmarks for both in-person attendance and digital engagement-underscoring the league's surging growth and nationwide momentum.
On Saturday night, the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, played host to a historic moment, as 14,729 fans packed the arena to watch the Tulsa Oilers defeat the San Antonio Gunslingers 45-31. It marked the largest IFL crowd in over six years and the league's biggest post-COVID attendance figure to date.
The IFL and the Tulsa Oilers extend a heartfelt thank you to the incredible fans who made this moment possible and continue to elevate the standard for what indoor football can deliver.
Simultaneously, the IFL celebrated a major digital achievement as its newly launched IFLNetwork surpassed 15,000 subscribers over the weekend. This league-owned platform offers fans a centralized, blackout-free hub for live games, highlights, and exclusive content-free from the copyright complications that often plague third-party services. The surge in subscribers highlights the league's rapidly expanding digital footprint and growing national appeal, solidifying the IFL Network as a key driver in the league's evolution and fan engagement strategy.
"These are the moments we've been building toward-landmark milestones that showcase the IFL's national traction and fan-driven momentum," said IFL Commissioner Todd Tryon. "A full house in Tulsa and a rapidly growing digital platform are strong signals that we are entering a bold new chapter for our league on the national stage. We're grateful, we're energized-and we're just getting started."
