The National Central Football League (NCFL) is a professional Central Football league that consists of 42 teams, divided equally between the North American Football Association (NAFA) and the National Football Association (NFA), and the International Football Association (IFA). The NCFL is one of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and the highest professional level of Central football in the world.

Each NCFL season begins with a three-week preseason in August, followed by the 19-week regular season]] which runs from early September to early January, with each team playing 18 games and having one Template:Bye (sports). Following the conclusion of the regular season, four teams from each conference (three division winners and one wild card team) advance to the playoffs, a single-elimination tournament that culminates in the Orange Cup, which is contested in February and is played between the two best Association teams.
