NFL Europe League
1995–Present

This league is based in Europe and operates as something of a farm league for the NFL. NFL teams can officially allocate young players to NFL Europe so they can get extra experience. The remainder of team rosters are made up of players who didn’t quite make the cut in NFL training camps, undrafted free agents, and European players, all hoping to get noticed. The league plays a spring schedule culminating in the World Bowl. NFL Europe is descended from the World League of American Football.

The ball used in NFL Europe is the same Wilson F1000 used by the NFL.
