Current Season

The Knight League is the Third Tier in the International Football Federation. Made up of 14 teams each season they compete for Promotion to the Crown League.

The Knight Football League was formed in England in 2009 to create a three tier system. 12 teams from the Crown League were relegated and Blackpool FC and Barnsley FC were incorporated into the new league.

After the 2012 campaign the Knight League was disbanded in favor of a smaller sleeker league.
