The Triangle Torch is a professional indoor football team and a member of American Indoor Football set to begin play for the 2016 season. Based in Raleigh, North Carolina (and representing the larger Research Triangle which also includes Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary), the Torch plays its home games at Dorton Arena.[1]

The Torch is set to be third indoor football team to play in Raleigh, after the Carolina Cobras of the Arena Football League (2000–2002) and the Raleigh Rebels of the Atlantic (later American) Indoor Football League (2005–2006). A team called the Carolina Bombers were set to begin play as a member of the Ultimate Indoor Football League for 2012, but folded before ever playing a single game.
