The Indoor Football League has ended its broadcast partnership with FanDuel Sports Network ahead of the 2026 season, Commissioner Todd Tryon announced Tuesday.
In a statement released “from the Office of the Commissioner,” Tryon said the league made the move following “a thorough evaluation of our media strategy.”
“After a thorough evaluation of our media strategy, the Indoor Football League has ended its relationship with FanDuel Sports Network,” Tryon said. “We are grateful to the entire FanDuel Sports Network team for their collaboration, professionalism, and support of the IFL.”
The decision affects all IFL teams, including the Fishers Freight, who are preparing for their upcoming season in Fishers.
Tryon emphasized the league does not expect disruption to its 2026 broadcast schedule.
“Our focus continues to be on delivering the highest-quality product for our fans, partners, and players, and ensuring that every game is accessible on a national stage,” Tryon said. “We have been proactively preparing for this transition and are fully committed to a seamless shift with no disruption to our 2026 broadcast plans.”
FanDuel Sports Network had been slated to air IFL games as part of the league’s national television package. The commissioner did not provide details on why the partnership was ended. However, it has been widely reported that FanDuel is planning to shut down in April.
Tryon said new media partners will be announced this week.
“This week, we will be announcing our media partners for the 2026 season, including new platforms that will expand our reach and enhance the viewing experience for fans nationwide,” he said.
For Fishers Freight fans, the key takeaway is that the league expects games to remain nationally accessible, with more information on exactly where Freight games will air expected soon.
