The Rizealand Football League (RFL) is a men's professional association football league in Rizealand, currently comprising of 16 teams. The RFL is one of the "Big Three" professional sports leagues in Rizealand and has headquarters in Liberty City. The RFL's regular season begins in September and concludes in December with each team playing every other team in the league at least twice. From December to February of the next year, the post-season playoffs begin among the two highest scoring teams from each conference in single elimination games. They end with the two finalists playing each other at the Super Cup.

The RFL began as a locally organized group of Liberty City football clubs in 1920 who wanted to organize a competition among themselves. By 1925, the RFL became an national competition when two of its member footballs clubs relocated to other cities in Rizealand. In 1935, the RFL converted its member clubs into franchises, formed two conferences for its teams, and instituted the modern format of having a regular season and post-season playoff culminating in a championship game. In 1960, the RFL expanded from 8 to 12 teams and held the first Super Cup. After the 2000 RFL Millennium Expansion, the RFL grew to 16 teams. It is the most popular sporting league in Rizealand with an average annual attendance of 33,801 and the Super Cup is the largest and most watched sporting event in Rizealand. The RFL also has some of the most valuable sporting teams in the country, making it the wealthiest sporting league in Rizealand.

The Camden Patriots are the most successful team in the RFL, having won a total of 21 national championships, 18 of which were Super Cups. The Winchester Wildcats are the second most successful team in the RFL, having won a total of 16 national championships, 11 of which were Super Cups. While the Portmouth Chargers have won the third highest number of national championships at 9, the Los Santos Kings have won the third largest number of Super Cups at 7. The Onnohou Warriors are the winners of the most recent Super Cup, giving them their third Super Cup win.
