The National Gridiron League (NGL) was a proposed professional American football league in Australia. The inaugural season was scheduled to begin in October 2018. It was originally to begin in 2016, however it was postponed for two years.[1] The League and its teams went silent in 2017 and was presumed defunct from that date. No game was ever played.
The league was to feature a 14-week regular season, which is scheduled to run from October to late January; each team to play seven games with at least two bye weeks. Following the regular season, four teams would compete in the league's playoffs, culminating in a Grand Final championship game in late January.[2][3]
