Our History
February 2022
A Dream is Born – Trevor, Ryan & Simen, Three friends came together with the idea of creating a league around the wonderful world of NFL Fantasy Football, driven by the dream of turning our hobby into a recognized eSport.
March 2022
The Blueprint for Our League – We established our dedicated Community Discord server. Long before our first external user joined, this platform served as the primary base for all our internal discussions and strategic planning, laying the foundational blueprint for where we would take our ambitious league.
April 2022
Our Identity Takes Shape – As our strategic vision solidified, we unveiled our very first official logo. This marked a significant step in establishing our brand identity, giving a visual representation to the burgeoning dream of FoFFLeague.

Refining Our Visual Identity – Building on our initial design, we commissioned and received our current bespoke logo. This refined visual identity perfectly captured the spirit and ambition of our league, setting the stage just before we began inviting our initial members.

The League Takes Shape – The moment arrived! We officially extended invitations to our friends and family, marking the beginning of our community. With their enthusiastic participation, our league truly began to take shape, transitioning from a concept to a reality.

Kick-off of Season 0! – With a strong starting roster of just 14 dedicated teams, our highly anticipated trial season officially began. This inaugural journey culminated in an exciting victory for the Kentucky Chicken Boys, who proudly claimed our very first Season 0 title.
February 2023
A Period of Transition – As the off-season began, our project faced its first significant challenge. Due to real-life complications, two of our co-founders, Ryan and Simen, made the difficult decision to step away for the upcoming 2023/24 season. Our Commissioner Trevor, alongside Nick, bravely took the reins, ensuring the league’s continuity even as it operated temporarily outside the formal FoFFLeague identity.
February 2024
Reigniting the Vision – A pivotal moment arrived with the return of co-founders Ryan and Simen. This coincided with Commissioner Trevor’s resignation, leading to Nick’s promotion to FoFF Commissioner. With renewed passion and a full leadership team, intensive work immediately began to not just maintain, but significantly enhance FoFF, aiming to make it better than ever before.

Expanding Our Community Horizon – Recognizing that diverse preferences require diverse platforms, the management made the strategic decision to create our dedicated community forums.
