The start of the season was characterized by changeable results. While the Munich Ravens won their first season opening game, the record of some teams, such as the Frankfurt Galaxy and the Helvetic Mercenaries, remains disappointing. These teams have not won a single one in their previous season opening games.

Positive example are the Wrocław Panthers and the Vienna Vikings, who have already started a strong start this year by being able to make their first games victorious. The league format promotes competitiveness among franchises and promises to remain exciting until the last minute of the season.

The upcoming games offer many opportunities for both teams and fans to experience further exciting moments. The focus is on the Vienna Vikings and Raiders Tirol and could further consolidate the first two places in the table. The eleven season 2025 promises to have many exciting encounters and surprises ready.
