Yahoo Sports Network is expanding its live sports programming with the addition of Indoor Football League (IFL) broadcasts. Through a new partnership between Yahoo Sports, C15 Studio, and the IFL, the network will serve as the exclusive home of 59 live games during the 2026 season.
The broadcast slate will include marquee Friday and Saturday matchups, two first-round playoff games, and the Eastern Conference Championship. All games will be produced by the IFL and streamed across platforms where Yahoo Sports Network is available, including major FAST services such as Amazon Fire TV, Fubo, LG Channels, Plex, Prime Video, Sling Freestream, The Roku Channel, and on yahoosports.tv.
Live IFL coverage joins a growing lineup of football programming on Yahoo Sports Network, which features shows like Football 301, Inside Coverage, Yahoo Fantasy Forecast, College Football Enquirer, and Josh Pate’s College Football Show. Select games will be called by a Yahoo Sports broadcast team including Jason Fitz, Nate Tice, and Caroline Fenton.
Leadership from both organizations expressed excitement about the partnership:
-
Ryan Spoon, President of Yahoo Media Group, called the addition of IFL action “a perfect complement to our original football coverage,” positioning the network as a year-round destination for fans.
-
Todd Tryon, IFL Commissioner, emphasized the increased visibility for players and coaches and praised the variety of viewing options available to fans through Yahoo Sports Network.
-
Jared Widman, President of the IFL Business Division, highlighted the opportunity for expanded sponsorship exposure as Yahoo grows alongside the league.
-
Eric Van Beek, Chief Operations & Brand Officer for the league, noted that Yahoo’s global reach and multi-platform ecosystem will dramatically increase the league’s visibility.
The 2026 IFL season begins in March. A full broadcast schedule, including designated Yahoo Sports Network matchups, will be announced at a later date.
