The Florida Football Alliance is an Adult Amateur Minor League of American football composed of 14 teams divided between 2 conferences. The teams are then divided equally among two divisions per conference. Member teams compete in a 10-game regular season schedule that traditionally begins in late January thru the end of April each year. At the end of the regular season, qualified teams compete in a league post-season playoff schedule with the eventual champion of each respective conference playing against each other in the league championship, dubbed the "Alliance Bowl".

In 2012, the FFA signed an agreement with Profit Planners Management, Inc.'s Sports and Entertainment Practice.[1]
