Although the NFL season has come to an end, it doesn't mean there's no more football. Fan Controlled Football is finally here, with week 1 of the inaugural season of FCF having already begun from Saturday, February 13 onwards. The new six-week pro indoor football league will consist of four teams — Glacier Boyz, Zappers, Beasts, and Wild Aces — that will play this season in a seven-on-seven arena-style format, with a 50-yard field and several innovations altering the format.

What is Fan Controlled Football? Rules and format of FCF
Notably, the fans — as the name suggests — are in charge of the construction of and play-calling for teams in this football game. Fans can join a squad and play the role of both general manager and coach. New rosters will be drafted each week — though fans can choose one keeper — with three-man offensive lines and defenses each counting as a single unit.

Each game will consist of two 20-minute halves, with the goal being to complete matches in under an hour of real-time. Opening possession will be determined by a bout of rock, paper scissors. Halftime is only eight minutes, and there's a one-minute warning at the end of each half. Fans will also vote on which plays will be called in-game. They can increase their voting power by successfully constructing powerful rosters and effective game plans.

Instead of point-after kicking tries, teams will pit a quarterback and a receiver against a defensive back in a showdown to put the ball into the end zone or be denied. One-point attempts will come from the 5-yard line and two-point attempts from the 10. Other unique rules include the lack of delay-of-game penalties and no backup quarterbacks. The 2021 FCF season will consist of three weeks of regular-season play, a playoff week and a championship game.
