The European League of Football was founded in 2020 and is the international league for American football in Europe. 17 teams from 9 nations will compete in the 2023 season. In 2022, there were 12 teams from five countries represented in the league. The European League of Football has a vision to expand the league to 24 European teams by 2025. 

In the 2022 season, the league was divided into 3 divisions: Northern Conference, Central Conference and Southern Conference. Each team played a total of 12 regular season games (six home and six away) against the other three teams in its own division and across divisions. The season takes place from June to September.

The 2023 season of the European League of Football will consist of seventeen teams from nine nations: Hamburg Sea Devils, Leipzig Kings, Berlin Thunder, Wrocław Panthers, Frankfurt Galaxy, Stuttgart Surge, Vienna Vikings, Raiders Tirol (venue: Innsbruck), Barcelona Dragons (Venue: Reus), Cologne Centurions and Rhein Fire (venue: Duisburg), Milano Seamen, Hungarian Enthroners (Szekesfehervar), Helvetic Guards (Zurich), Munich Ravens, Prague Lions, and Paris Musketeers.

The 2022 season was held over 17 weeks. In American football, the season is divided into two distinct phases: the regular season and the playoffs. The regular season of the European League of Football consists of 14 weeks (June – September 2022) in which teams play 12 games. The three division winners and the best runner-up qualify for the playoffs, which take place after the regular season. The final, the European League of Football Championship Game, takes place at a neutral location every year. In 2022, the Championship takes place September 25th in Klagenfurt, Austria. The Paris Musketeers will play their first game the weekend of 3-4 June.

The legends of Paris are rich with Musketeers.

Once the most elite military unit, later the inspiration for the greatest adventure story ever written, the Musketeers embody all the values that a football team representing Paris aspires to be: unity, humanity, valor, strength, peace, and justice. All are foundational to the dynamic, diverse, and culturally singular 'Ville de Lumiere'.
